Design Systems

Frameworks for smarter, more practical homes

Repeatable principles we apply to every home. Each one starts with a real problem and ends with a checklist you can use yourself.

Storage First

Problem: Homes look good on handover day but become cluttered within months.

Principle: Plan storage for real belongings before choosing finishes or decor.

Checklist

  • List belongings by room and season
  • Use full wall height with lofts
  • Prefer drawers over shelves below counter
  • Give every room a hidden storage zone

Kitchen Workflow

Problem: Kitchens that are tiring to use despite being expensive.

Principle: Arrange zones in the order of store, prep, cook, serve and clean.

Checklist

  • Keep 900 mm clear prep counter between sink and hob
  • Heavy vessels in deep drawers below the hob
  • Fridge close to the prep zone
  • Landing space on both sides of the hob

Lighting Layers

Problem: Rooms that are either too bright and flat, or dim where tasks happen.

Principle: Combine ambient, task and accent lighting for each room.

Checklist

  • Ambient: even base light across the room
  • Task: under-cabinet, reading and mirror lights
  • Accent: cove or profile lights for mood
  • Plan switch positions with furniture layout

Budget Allocation

Problem: Budgets run out before the kitchen and wardrobes are finished.

Principle: Fund what you use daily and what is costly to redo first.

Checklist

  • Kitchen and wardrobes first (50–60%)
  • Electrical and lighting next
  • Decor and loose furniture last
  • Keep 8–10% contingency
