A home is a place where we live, spend most of our lives, with family members and our loved ones. A bedroom design project includes a careful study of the surrounding of the entire home. When an architect plans a home, he takes into consideration many parameters for the location of various spaces. Lets take an example of the bedroom itself. While deciding the location of the bedroom, an architect might go through the following checklist. * North direction * Path of the sun. * Surrounding landscapes. * Presence of other natural elements such as lake, flowing river, seashore, etc.. which could be visible through bedroom window. * Wind direction. * Man made other features, such as tall buildings, roads, etc.. These external factors directly affect the interior of a bedroom. This is true with any space and not only bedroom. For example the amount of sunlight entering in a room will affect the dimensions of the window openings, which will in turn affect the available space inside the room for furniture. The overall atmospheric conditions outside, will affect the type of finishes and materials used for furnishings, linen, flooring, etc.. A bedroom on seashore will have a different set of weather conditions to deal with than a room on a hill slope with heavy snowfall. That's why the interior design of any living habitual space is an exact replica of what's happening outside. Everything is so dynamic. A slight change in the outside world can affect the appearance of the home altogether. If you are trying to design your own space then this article might help to start thinking on the concept level. With these words I end this article and hope it was useful. Copyright 2005 Shrinivas Vaidya |
