Yard at a Glance
Who lives here: A retired couple with children who have just moved out
Location: Harpenden, Hertfordshire, England
Size: 2,690-square-foot (250-square-meter) side yard on a one-third-acre property
Landscape designer: Henry Scott of Pehrsson Scott
Before: With a drop of almost 6½ feet from end to end, this part of a couple’s yard in southern England simply wasn’t usable. And below a newly added studio, a gap highlighted the unevenness of the terrain and made for an awkward entry.

Take an Inventory
I recommend reviewing all of the food prep and other kitchen tools you currently own. This might be a good time to pare down items that are unnecessary, impractical or rarely used.
When planning your new kitchen, make sure there’s enough storage for all the kitchenware you plan to keep. Measure the dimensions of bulky items such as pressure cookers, stockpots, large serving trays and platters, tall drink dispensers and party-size serving bowls to make sure your new cabinets can accommodate them. If possible, designate a permanent home for all of your kitchen supplies before your plans are completed.

Your bathroom might not fit everything you would like. Pare down your belongings and try to decide where each category of items will reside. Eliminating what you don’t love or need, and deciding on a home for each category, before you finalize your plans might help narrow down your storage solutions. You might realize that some less frequently used items are better stored elsewhere in the house.
