Getting Started

Prior to designing, it is important to determine the functionality of your space or project.

Functionality is crucial within any room design, it can be the difference between a good design and a great design.

To determine the functionality that best suits your needs, think about how you use your existing space and what feels comfortable to you, what you like and what you don’t like. We recommend making a list of the features you would like to retain and what you would like to replace.

Within the kitchen for example, focus on creating three working zones; Storage (fridge/freezer/pantry), Washing (sink/dishwasher), and Cooking (oven/cooktop). For practicality, position these zones into what is called a ‘Working Triangle’. A good working triangle will help you move quickly and easily from task to task within your kitchen.
