Draw three layers on the measured plan: fixed points, activities and movement. Move the activities around before moving any walls.

Plan in this order
- Start with columns, windows, door swings and service points on a single measured drawing.
- Place the highest-frequency activity first. Put the equipment or storage it uses within the same zone.
- Trace the longest everyday trip and any crossing routes. Show both with furniture and doors in use.
Worked example
Wardrobe doors collide with a bedside table in a narrow bedroom, even though the bed fits on paper.
Draw open doors and drawers over the bed footprint, then shift the bed or use sliding fronts only after checking access.
How to test it
Ask someone unfamiliar with the plan to walk through a normal visit and point out where they would hesitate.
Apply it to this space
- Layout
- Place the bed on the longest uninterrupted wall and preserve a clear approach to wardrobe doors.
- Detail
- Choose sliding wardrobe fronts where swing clearance is limited; add separate bedside lights.
- Trade-off
- Full-height wardrobes increase capacity but can make the room feel enclosed.
- Measure bed, wardrobe and passage together
- Confirm window can open without furniture conflict
