Professional space planning services focused on layout, flow, and functionality to ensure interiors work beautifully and efficiently.

Space planning focuses on how a space functions, flows, and supports daily life. At JL Coates, our space planning services are designed to optimize layout, circulation, and furniture placement so every square foot is used intentionally. Whether as a stand-alone service or part of a larger design scope, space planning creates the foundation for interiors that feel balanced, efficient, and comfortable.
The foundation of a well-designed space.
Space planning is the process of organizing rooms, furniture, and circulation patterns to support how a space is actually used. It ensures that layouts feel intuitive, comfortable, and functional before aesthetic decisions are finalized.
Designed for flow and functionality.
Our team evaluates scale, proportion, and movement to create layouts that feel open and intentional. We consider sightlines, traffic patterns, furniture relationships, and spatial balance to eliminate wasted space and improve usability.
Flexible and adaptable by design.
Space planning can be implemented independently or as part of a full interior design project. It is especially valuable for small spaces, open-concept layouts, and homes where existing furniture needs to be re-evaluated.
A strategic first step.
For many clients, space planning serves as the starting point for larger design decisions. A strong layout provides clarity and confidence before investing in furnishings, finishes, or construction.
