"Tips For efficient house"
Space planning is a fundamental element of the interior design process. It starts with an in-depth analysis of how the space is to be used.
Here are effective space planning tips to help you design more efficient spaces.
Determining purpose and defining specific zones
First things first – even before you start designing, you’ll have to define zones depending on the purpose of the space.
What the area will primarily be used for?
For example, you are designing your kitchen. Then make a list:
- Are you married?
- Do you have kids?
- Who is the chef at home?
- How many people will be using the space and will they all be using it for the same purpose?
- Do you prefer eating at the kitchen island or would rather have a dedicated dining area?
- What kind of storage you’ll need?
- What appliances you’ll need?
Listing these types of questions will help you determine the main purpose of the room, making it easier for you to define specific zones.

Lighting

Dimmers come in handy so your client can adjust the brightness as needed.
Considering accessibility
If you’re designing a kitchen, you need to consider things like adjusting the height of the kitchen sink, installing pull-out trays for the pantry and cabinets, front-mounted controls for cook tops.
Placing outlets and switches
