Here are some tips on how design can be used to maximise space for family life:
- Open-plan living: A popular way of designing living spaces is to create an area that combines kitchen, dining and living. This can create a spacious and flexible area for family life, where everyone can gather together and interact.
- Multi-functional spaces: Could you use a room in your home for multiple purposes? Consider how to make the most of the space you have, for example, a home office could double as a guest room. Or, a playroom could also function as a study area.
- Storage solutions: We love helping families maximise storage space in their homes. Life is easier when your home storage just works and you can easily put away toys and other items. Consider custom built-in storage solutions that help keep clutter at bay and make the most of every inch of available space.
- Outdoor living spaces: Outdoor living spaces are a common need for our clients. Somewhere that can be used for family gatherings, barbecues, and play can bring huge benefits to family life. We can work with you to build in extra outdoor space or make the most of the space you already have.
Tips for making the most of your space once it’s completed:
- Smart technology: Incorporate smart technology into your home such as smart thermostats, lighting systems, and home automation. This can improve energy efficiency, comfort, and convenience for your family.
- Flexible furniture: Choose furniture that is flexible and adaptable, such as modular sofas, foldaway tables, and bunk beds with built-in storage. This can help maximise space and provide a more comfortable living environment.
- Vertical space: Make use of vertical space by incorporating wall-mounted storage, shelving, and hanging planters. This frees up floor space and creates a more visually appealing living environment.
Maximising space for family life requires careful consideration of design and functionality. By incorporating open-plan living areas and multi-functional spaces, you can create a comfortable and functional living environment for your family.
