Choosing the right floor plan: Daily Routine

HOW YOUR DAILY ROUTINE IMPACTS YOUR FLOOR PLAN DESIGN

Think about your daily life. How do you start and end your day? Your morning rush might necessitate a convenient bathroom layout, while a peaceful evening could call for a cosy living room. Make a list of your daily activities and prioritise spaces accordingly. Begin by identifying the key moments that shape your day. For instance, your morning might start with a brisk shower, followed by a quick breakfast in the kitchen. A well-organised bathroom with ample storage can streamline your morning routine, saving precious minutes.

Next, consider where you spend your workday. If you work from home, a dedicated office space with good lighting and ergonomic furniture can boost productivity. For those working shift work, a functional entryway with hooks for bags and a bench for shoes can simplify your early morning wake-ups.

Lunchtime might find you in the kitchen again, so having a comfortable dining area where you can relax and refuel (away from the computer screen) is essential.

As evening approaches, think about how you unwind. A cosy living room with soft lighting and comfortable seating can provide the perfect setting for reading a book, watching TV, or enjoying a family game night.

Finally, your bedtime routine could involve a tranquil bedroom environment, free from clutter, with calming colours and perhaps a reading nook.

 Start by answering these 3 simple questions about your daily routine:-

  1. HOW DO YOU TYPICALLY START AND END YOUR DAY AT HOME?

  2. WHERE DO YOU SPEND THE MOST TIME DURING WEEKDAYS AND WEEKENDS?

  3. WHAT ACTIVITIES DO YOU ENJOY DOING AT HOME (E.G. COOKING, WORKING, ENTERTAINING, RELAXING)?

By mapping out your daily activities and corresponding spaces, you can create a home that supports your lifestyle and enhances your well-being.
