If you've ever stood in your living room and thought "this just isn't working anymore," you're not alone. According to the National Association of Home Builders, interior remodeling was the second most requested home improvement project in 2020, behind only roofing (which should come as no surprise if you've read any other piece we've written on this site).
The answer is purposeful design. It may sound like a buzzword, but it's not. Purposeful design isn't about making your room look pretty or instagrammable (although it can do that too). It's about creating a space that serves a specific function for you and your family, one that enhances your daily life in ways both big and small.
Take our recent project with the Smiths. They needed more storage space in their kitchen but didn't want to sacrifice counter space by adding cabinets. So we designed a pull-out pantry that slid out from behind a cabinet door, giving them easy access to their most used items without taking up any extra room. It was a small change, but it made a big difference in their daily lives.
Or consider our work with the Joneses. They wanted to update their living room but didn't want to move any furniture around or add new pieces. So we worked with them to rearrange their existing furniture in a way that created a more inviting and functional space for their family to gather. It wasn't about adding anything new; it was about using what they already had in a smarter way.
Purposeful design isn't just about functionality, though. It's also about emotion. When you walk into your home, do you feel happy? Do you feel comfortable? Do you feel like this is a space that reflects who you are and what you value? These are questions we should all be asking ourselves as we consider the design of our homes.
