Our Space Planning and Layout Services

We analyze your space and create storage layouts that work better for your daily routine. Every layout plan is customized to fit your specific needs, habits, and space constraints.

Complete Space Analysis


We study how you currently use your space and identify areas where better layout could improve functionality and storage capacity. Our analysis includes measuring traffic patterns, noting problem areas, and documenting your storage needs for different items.


We evaluate existing storage to understand what works well and what creates daily frustrations or inefficiencies. This detailed analysis forms the foundation for creating optimized layouts that truly improve your daily experience.

Custom Layout Design


We create multiple layout options that maximize your storage capacity while improving accessibility and workflow in your space. Each design considers your height, mobility, and daily routines to ensure cabinets are positioned where you need them most.


We plan for everything from frequently used items to seasonal storage, creating designated spaces for all your belongings. Custom layouts eliminate wasted space and dead corners while improving the overall function of your room.

Storage Capacity Optimization


We calculate exactly how much storage you need and design cabinet layouts that provide maximum capacity without overcrowding your space. Our planning includes vertical storage solutions that use wall space efficiently while maintaining easy access to stored items.


We design interior cabinet organization that doubles or triples storage capacity compared to basic shelving arrangements. Strategic layout planning ensures you have adequate storage for current needs plus room for future growth.

Traffic Flow Planning


We design cabinet layouts that improve how people move through your space by eliminating obstacles and creating clear pathways. Our planning considers door swings, drawer extensions, and clearance requirements to prevent conflicts between cabinet use and room circulation.


We position frequently used cabinets in easily accessible locations while placing occasional-use storage in less prominent areas. Good traffic flow planning makes your space feel larger and more comfortable to use daily.
