Los Gatos Home Design for Small Spaces

Designing a small space means working with every available space and making it useful. Here are some areas you might overlook that are handy when designing for a Los Gatos small home space.

Area	Design options
The stairs	Most homes overlook this space that can be sued for storage or as a pantry. Add a door, and you have enough space for an extra room to do as you please.
The patio	A patio in a small house can be converted into an extra playroom or sunroom. All you need to do is build a wall and close it to provide privacy. You can also have bigger windows if you want to ring the outdoors into this room.
Other elements in the home	Instead of swinging doors, go for sliding or pocket doors. You can also add some hidden storage space that blends into other areas of your home, like behind your vanity in your bedroom. Higher ceilings also come in handy when you need to get a loft installed in the space.

Create a Focal Point in Your Home Design

Having a focal point is vital in every room of your house since it shows people what they need to focus on. Here are some ways to play around with different structural elements to create a focal point in your Los Gatos Home Design.

Windows. Have a big window facing the outside garden. It offers a better view and brings more lighting into the home.
Walls. Change the material used on one of your walls so people can look at this. You can even go the extra mile and add a feature like an indoor mini fountain to this wall. Coupled with good lighting, it will stand out from the rest.
Build a fireplace. A fireplace will create a focal point and an amazing place for everyone in the family to convene at. There are newer options for fireplaces, so you do not have to go for the old-school wood chimney. The entire place comes to life and offers heating on those cold evenings.

Space Planning Strategies for your Los Gatos Home Design

Before starting the remodeling, ensure you have several space planning strategies. These will act as a guide and ensure that every element provides value to the home. Here are some space planning strategies you must consider when designing for your home.

Consistency. Ensure that whatever design elements you use are constant throughout your home. Think about the flooring you plan to use and the materials you will get for storage. All these ensure that your space looks well thought through.
Zones. Ensure you know the different zones in a room or floor and locate the right space for them. For instance, if you like cooking, your kitchen might have more space than the living room. If, on the other hand, you have a bigger household, then you might consider having more floor space for the lunge instead.
Outlets and switches. Every room needs outlets, and switches will affect how things are placed in the house. Make a clear plan of how you want your interior organized, and then place your outlets and switches in the right places.

FAQs

Can I remove a wall without compromising the integrity of my home?

The only way to ensure that the wall you bring down will not affect the integrity of your home is to find out if it is load-bearing or not. To do this, tap lightly on it and see if it has a hollow sound. A hollow sound means the wall is not load-bearing and can be easily broken.

Another way is to consult with us and let us go over the initial plan of your home. We are experienced and can tell you from the start which walls can be brought down and which should stay.

How do I ensure the new design elements blend with my existing home structure?

All you need to do is ensure the new design have an element for your old home structure. You can do this by using similar materials for the new structure or placing certain aspects like the plumbing and electrical in the same position as before.

Can I change the entire layout of my home?

You can change some aspects of the layout of your home, such as breaking down walls to make space in one room or putting up walls to get more rooms. There are, however, functional aspects you need to consider, especially if it involves changing the plumbing setup in your home. We can offer you options to ensure all these systems keep running smoothly.
