Brandi How to create that Beautifully-Functional Design by Brandi Heath
The biggest question I get asked is: “How do I create a beautiful living space that still works with our everyday family life?” Functionality is at the forefront when designing any living space. We all want to have a beautiful living space, but if it doesn’t fit your everyday life then you’ll never be truly happy with it. L&H Custom Homes and Designs specializes in creating timeless, modern, livable interiors that are as functional as they are beautiful, and I always say, a space that is beautiful AND functional wins every time. Whether it is your kitchen, living room, bedroom, or bathroom, every space can be created to adapt to your everyday routine.
Tips for Functional Design: 1. Find storage in as many design elements as possible. Whether it’s a piece of furniture or the design of your cabinets, make sure to maximize all the space possible. A well-organized and designed mudroom can make every-day life much easier. 2. A laundry room doesn’t have to be a dreaded chore. More and more people are putting their focus on the design of their laundry room. Let’s face it, we spend a lot of time there. Make the space inviting with a fun tile, chandelier, and hardware. Also, consider designs with two stackable washer/dryers instead of just one, or make sure your sink and faucet are sufficient in size and function. 3. Lastly, make sure you have enough cabinets or baskets to organize properly so you always know what you have and where.
