Small kitchen perspective

As with designing in general, the design of any environment should start with an analysis of need (i.e. what will the space or spaces be used for?). If starting from scratch this can determine the size and positioning of the spaces themselves but in most cases this will be set within the bounds of an existing building.


Analysing intended purpose of the space will nonetheless determine the arrangement of fixtures, furniture and fittings within it. It may also influence surface colours textures and types of finish and may raise the need for some minor works such as adding partitions - or taking them down.


The process of designing an environment follows a common sequence of :

  • analyse the purpose of the space;
  • determine the shape and positioning of the spaces (or make a plan of an existing arrangement);
  • make any minor modifications required and allowed (e.g. add or re-position doors and windows, take down partition walls if possible - check safety!);
  • check on positions and suitability of all services (e.g. gas, water, drainage, electricity, telephone, TV, internet);
  • add fixtures, furniture and fittings;
  • add colours and textures.
