Unlocking the Potential of Your Home: The Power of Space Planning with Lampos Design
When it comes to interior design, one of the most transformative aspects is often overlooked: space planning. At Lampos Design, we believe that thoughtful space planning is the foundation of a beautifully functioning home. Our approach not only reimagines how spaces can be used but also enhances the way families live and interact within their homes.
The Art of Space Planning
Space planning is more than just arranging furniture or adding extra square footage—it's about understanding how each room can best serve its purpose. Every family is unique, and so are their needs. At Lampos Design, we take the time to understand your lifestyle, habits, and preferences. Our goal is to create spaces that enhance daily routines and improve functionality within your home.
High-Functioning Spaces
Functionality is at the heart of our design philosophy. We believe that a well-designed space should not only look good but also work seamlessly for its inhabitants. Our team excels at rethinking spaces—transforming cramped corners into cozy reading nooks, converting underutilized areas into practical work-from-home zones, or designing open-plan layouts that foster connection.
Case Study: Transforming a Family Home
A recent project illustrates our space planning philosophy. We worked with a family who was struggling with several pain points in their home:
Wasted Space: The primary bathroom had a lot of wasted space in front of the bathtub.
Oversized Bedroom: The primary bedroom was unnecessarily large.
Long Hallway: There was a long hallway that disrupted the flow of the house and took up valuable square footage.
Ineffective Closet: A hall closet was so small it was practically unusable.
Cramped Kitchen: The kitchen was tiny, isolated, and lacked storage.
No Pantry: The kitchen had no pantry, which made organization difficult.
Disconnected Front Room: The front room felt isolated from the rest of the house.
In response to these challenges, we devised a plan that did not add any square footage but instead focused on optimizing the existing foot print:
Bathroom Remodel: We remodeled the primary bathroom to create a functional wet space, incorporating both a shower and a bathtub. We increased vanity storage, added a linen cabinet and maintained the private toilet room.
Redefined Bedroom Space: We resized the primary bedroom, making it more intimate and comfortable while increasing the size of the closet for better storage.
Workspace Creation: A built-in desk/workspace was added in the primary bedroom, providing a dedicated area for productivity.
Family Room Enhancements: In the family room, we included built-ins that featured loads of storage and a homework space for kids, creating an organized and inviting area for study.
Mudroom Addition: We established a convenient mudroom/drop zone near the garage door, enhancing organization and reducing clutter in the main living areas.
Walk-In Pantry: A large walk-in pantry was created in the kitchen, providing ample storage and prep counter space.
Kitchen Expansion: We opened up the kitchen, adding a large island, custom cabinetry throughout and transforming the space into a chef’s kitchen with additional storage, improving both function and flow.
Connected Spaces: We opened the kitchen to the living room, connecting the entire house and fostering a sense of togetherness for the family and guests.
