What I would change in this layout 👇

A few things stand out right away in this plan:

• Bathroom layout — could be reworked for better access and use of space
• Tight/awkward door clearances — creates wasted space and poor flow
• Unused corners and angles — not contributing to functionality
• Kitchen layout — could be optimized for better usability
• Bedroom layout (bottom right) — opportunity to improve size or positioning

None of these are huge changes on their own, but together they have a big impact on how the space actually works.

Most of the time, it’s not about adding more square footage—it’s about using what’s already there more efficiently.

3 layout mistakes I see all the time

1. Wasted space
Awkward corners, oversized hallways, or areas that don’t really serve a purpose.

2. Poor flow
Rooms that feel disconnected or layouts that don’t make sense for how people actually live.

3. Focusing on finishes before layout
Nice cabinets and flooring won’t fix a layout that doesn’t work.

Most of the time, the issue isn’t the size of the space but how it’s used.

Fixing the layout first can make a huge difference in how a unit functions (and even its value).

Here's a couple of my kitchen projects. These spaces had tight layouts, limited functionality, and not making the most of the available space.

Before:
• Closed-off or awkward kitchen layouts
• Limited counter space and storage
• Poor flow between areas

After:
• Cleaner, more open layouts
• Improved flow and usability
• Better use of available space
• A more modern, functional kitchen overall

If you’re planning a kitchen upgrade or feel like your layout isn’t working, I’d be happy to take a look 👍

Here’s an example of a concept layout plan 👇

This was a previous salon space that was reimagined into a functional residential unit.

Before any renovation begins, having a clear layout plan helps define how the space will actually work.

In this layout:
• Kitchen repositioned for better flow and usability
• Open living area to make the space feel larger
• Defined bedroom and work area
• Efficient use of every square foot

The goal is simple: make sure the space works on paper before you spend money building it.

Maia Space provides practical, concept-level layouts that help you avoid costly mistakes and get the most out of your space.

If you’re planning a renovation or looking to repurpose a space, feel free to reach out.

Quick question—

Are you planning a renovation but not 100% sure if your layout is the best it can be?

That’s exactly what I help with.

Before you spend money on materials or contractors, I provide simple layout plans and recommendations to make sure your space actually works the way it should.

Most issues I see:
• Wasted space
• Poor flow
• Missed opportunities for storage or function

If you’re working on a project (or thinking about one), send me a message and I can take a look.

Even a quick review can save you time, money, and rework.

Here are some real examples of what better layouts and smart renovations can do!

In each of these spaces, the issue wasn’t just finishes, but how the space functioned.

Before:
• Outdated layouts with limited flow
• Wasted or awkward areas
• Poor use of cabinets and storage
• Spaces that felt closed off or underutilized

After:
• Cleaner, more open and usable layouts
• Better flow between kitchen and living areas
• Improved storage and functionality
• Brighter, more practical spaces for everyday use

None of these required major expansions. Only better planning and smarter decisions.

This is exactly what I focus on with Maia Space.
Not high-end design, but practical layouts that actually improve flow.

If you’re planning a renovation or feel like your space isn’t being used as well as it could be, send me a message anytime.

Hi everyone!

I wanted to share something new I’ve been working on.

I’m a professional engineer who has been working closely with residential properties over the past few years, and I’ve seen firsthand how much impact layout and space planning can have on how a home functions day to day. One thing that kept coming up is that many spaces don’t work as well as they could, even with small, practical changes.

That’s what led me to start Maia Space.

Maia Space focuses on layout optimization and renovation planning. I aim to help homeowners and investors improve flow, maximize usable space, and make better decisions before starting renovations.

This isn’t about high-end interior design or finishes. It’s about practical, functional layouts and designs that make your space look and work better.

Whether you’re planning a renovation, looking to improve a rental unit, or just want a second opinion on your layout, I’m now offering simple, concept-level plans to help guide those decisions.

If you’re working on a project or thinking about changes, feel free to reach out and I’d be happy to take a look.

More to come soon.
