WHY FURNITURE PLANNING COMES FIRST

One of the biggest mistakes we see in custom home builds is designing a floor plan without thinking through furniture. We believe space planning is foundational—not an afterthought. And no, it doesn’t count that your architect plopped down a random size sofa on your floor plan. We help ensure:

  • Your living room fits the right-sized sofa (and more than one seat!)

  • You have space for lamps, side tables, consoles and proper flow

  • You have the wall space necessary for art in the right places

  • Rooms are laid out with function, mood, and lifestyle in mind

We’ve seen firsthand how costly it is to revise plans after the fact. When we’re involved early, we help clients avoid common pitfalls and create homes that truly live well.
