Space Planning Services in London & UK-Wide

Intelligent Layouts. Elegant Flow. Designed Around Real Life.

At Oraanj Interior Design, we believe great design starts with great planning. Our space planning service is the essential foundation for every successful interior, whether you’re designing a single room, an open-plan living area, or an entire property.

We offer professional space planning in London and across the UK, tailored for homes through our Residential Interior Design services that need more than just beautiful furniture — they need to work seamlessly for your lifestyle.

What Is Space Planning — and Why Does It Matter?

Interior space planning is the strategic organisation of furniture, circulation, and functional zones within a room. It focuses on improving flow, comfort, and everyday usability.

Through considered layout planning and interior design, spaces are shaped to feel intuitive rather than crowded or underused. It goes beyond placing furniture—creating interiors that are easy to move through, practical to live in, and elegant in how they function.

Intelligent Layouts can:

  • Maximise usable space without clutter or overcrowding
  • Improve natural light flow and energy in your rooms
  • Create a balance between public and private areas
  • Increase the value and long-term usability of your property
Whether you’re designing a new build, renovating, or a restaurant interior design space, a precise layout plan gives you clarity, confidence, and control before making costly decisions.

Solving the “Dead Space” Dilemma in London Terraces

The most frequent pain point for owners of period properties is the “unusable middle”—those dark, narrow corridors and awkward alcoves that serve no purpose other than collecting clutter.

“Oraanj transformed our cramped Hackney hallway into a stunning home library; we finally feel like we’re using every inch of our home.” > > — Sarah J., Hackney

Professional interior space planning identifies these inefficiencies, transforming “dead zones” into high-value assets like integrated home offices, bespoke storage, or expanded thoroughfares. Through strategic layout planning, we eliminate the “tunnel effect” common in Victorian homes, ensuring every square inch of your floor plan contributes to your lifestyle.

Let’s start with what’s possible. Share your floorplan, video walkthrough, or book a discovery call, and we’ll help you plan a layout that works as beautifully as it looks.
