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
A living room must host movie nights, quiet reading, and occasional groups without the television becoming the only focal point.
Draw the screen, reading chair, and conversation seats as separate activity zones. Keep a movable center table and verify each arrangement preserves a route to the adjoining room.
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 demo surfaces where staff can assist without blocking the main aisle.
- Detail
- Use replaceable display tops and concealed cable paths with a clear home for each demo item.
- Trade-off
- Open demos encourage engagement but require more frequent reset and supervision.
- Use the demo as a customer would
- Check cables and products stay within the display footprint
