Space Planning

Why You Need to Plan Your Space Now for the Greatest Comfort

Have you ever moved into a new home and not known what to do with all the open space? While having a lot of empty space can be freeing, it can also be frustrating. What do you put in that space? How should furniture, appliances, and other large items be arranged?


Answering these questions is called space planning, and it is an integral part of interior design. Space planning involves organizing the space and furniture inside a room to maximize its functions. When used correctly, space planning accommodates the needs of everyone who uses the area, including homeowners, family members, and visitors. 

For many people, furniture design is one of the most fun aspects of remodeling or moving into a new home. Buying a couch and end tables is always more fun than buying construction materials such as wood and nails. 


However, there’s more to furniture design than going to the store and buying the first sofa that catches your eye. There are many elements of design to think about. You need to consider the function of your room as well as the theme or color scheme. Placing a bunch of mismatched items in a room is going to make it look cluttered and uncomfortable.



Have you been looking at ideas for furniture design for your home on Pinterest? If so, now is the time to turn those ideas into a reality. Check out these tips for using furniture to turn your home into a cozy living space.

What Are Your Goals?

Before you plan your space, you need to determine your goals.

How will you use the space in your home? 

What activities will take place in the space?

Do you spend most of your time standing or sitting?

What would be in your ideal living room? 

Do you spend a lot of time cooking in your kitchen or entertaining guests? 

What types of furniture and appliances will you be adding to your space?

Benefits of Space Planning

You may think that how you arrange your space is no big deal, but it really is. Many businesses use space planning to increase organization and productivity. Good space planning can also improve your personal life, so your home is a great place to enjoy the benefits of space planning as well. 


First of all, your living space should provide function and comfort. It should be planned so there is sufficient space and lighting in certain areas, such as living rooms and kitchens. These are the spaces where you likely spend most of your time, so you want there to be enough space. If everything is crammed together, it becomes less comfortable.


Second, it aids in ergonomics. A home should be easy to navigate, especially for those who have limited mobility. There should be walking paths with enough space for people to move about freely. If disability is an issue, you’ll want to consider the heights of different appliances and counters and determine what other items are needed, such as special controls and grab bars, and space for mobility devices to move in.
