I think it’s safe to say that most of us live in a functional space. When I was growing up, my home was no exception. I always knew where my bedroom was. My parents always had a nice bathroom. I even had a good, easy-to-use kitchen. When I moved out there was a lot of work, but I made sure I was comfortable.
I’m not saying that all homes are the same. The majority of your home is your personal space. Its design and decor are designed to make you feel safe and comfortable with it. Your home should offer you a place to relax and enjoy your time. In other words, it should be able to do more than just store your stuff. It should also be able to do a lot more with you around than just store your stuff.
The answer is in the kitchen. The kitchen is one of the most important spaces in any home, for two reasons: it’s the center of the home and it’s where your food is prepared. In most homes kitchens are designed so that they are the perfect place to cook. It is where you cook and prepare your food, so it is where the food is stored, which is probably the most important and most difficult part of the kitchen.
In most houses kitchens are built to be as utilitarian as possible. They are designed to be used for cooking, which means they are designed to be as functional as possible. They can’t be any more functional that they have to be. In most kitchens they are designed to be as functional as possible, but most kitchens are also designed to be as utilitarian as possible.
The good news? Even if you’re not designing a kitchen, you can still make one as functional. The bad news? Many manufacturers are now using 3D printing to make kitchens that look like traditional houses. We’ve got one of these in our kitchen right now.
The point is that functional spaces are designed to be functional. The goal of any kitchen is to make it as functional as possible. If you are designing a kitchen for efficiency it makes sense to use the same techniques that were used to design a kitchen as a house.
The most common technique is the combination of “scrapping” and “stumping up” to make a space more functional. Scrapping involves the removal of excess wall and flooring, and stumping up involves the removal of unnecessary kitchen appliances.
Scrapping and stumping up is just a general term for making small changes to a space and then putting them back in place. Like when you replace the counter with an electric one and put down the wall, or when you put down the floor-to-ceiling window you had to cut to fit the kitchen.
The term “functional space” is also used to describe the spaces we use every day. For example, I have a functional kitchen with a pantry, refrigerator, and breakfast bar, and a functional living room with a couch, coffee table, TV, and bookshelves. There’s a lot of stuff that goes into making a functional space, but it’s a lot easier to make a space more functional than it is to make a space less functional.
Functional spaces have been around forever. In the 1800s Americans were really into efficiency. They were trying to build factories and factories were using factories as spaces, to maximize the cost of labor. As a result, people started using more of the same, which was a big problem.
