Once the walls are framed, grab a can of spray paint and mark out key areas like your kitchen layout, built-ins, and cabinetry directly on the floor. It’s a simple yet powerful way to see how the space feels in real life.

Walk through the kitchen as if you’re cooking—where will the fridge, stove, and sink be? Does the flow make sense? Imagine opening cabinets and moving around during your day-to-day routines.

This small step can help you spot any layout issues early and make adjustments before it’s too late. A little planning now saves a lot of regret later!
