Space Planning

Space Planning

     

With the growing demand for space, there has been a steep rise in the per-square-foot price. This makes it an obvious reason why space is considered as an asset while purchasing home or any type of rooms. Interior designing is all about creating spaces that is not only aesthetically appealing but also comfortable and functional.

Today, space planning is no more restricted to residential spaces, but has floated to commercial projects too. An ideal space is one that can accommodate everything as well as give you the desired comfort. For example, if a living room is arranged with bulky furniture which leaves no room to accommodate anything else, then the whole idea about ‘space’ may not make any sense. With a cluttered space like this, you’ll constantly feel claustrophobic.

The challenge for every interior designer is to meet the requirements of his clients. Here are reasons why space planning is important in interior designing.

Room Functionality

When it comes to space planning, you first need to consider the purpose of the room. Earlier, specific rooms were assigned for specific purposes. But today with the changing trend a room can be multi-functional too. For example, a hall or living room is not only a work area but can be use for dining space. Similarly, you can extend your bedroom to make enough space for a dressing room, same way kitchens can utilize for dry balconies.

Selecting Furniture

  

                   

Space planning involves complete floor mapping. With a clear floor plan, you’ll be able to gauge the space. This will help you to select the right furniture based on the size of the room. It will also give you an idea of how and where to place the furniture.

Balancing between the view and comfort

Ideal space planning can bring in a sense of balance between beauty and comfort. Be it the space of your kitchen or bedroom, every area counts. A space must have a good sense of balance. This comes when you are able to integrate everything well. Colour, design, placement, interior accessories, etc. are all responsible in creating the perfect balance.

Visual Effect

A space should be designed or planned in such a way that it should be visually appealing. Say for example, the first time you visit a restaurant; your reaction is either good or bad. Similarly, space planning plays an important role when it comes to visualization. With a given space, how well you are able to place objects is instrumental.

A Personal Touch

        

An interior designer when designing space, has to keep in mind every client’s personal taste. We all have our taste and preferences especially when it comes to interiors. Space planning must successfully reflect what you are looking for. For example, do you want your bedroom to be airy, cozy or just comfortable? So, once you are clear with the idea, you can go ahead and plan.

Lighting Preference

  

Every space planning requires you to keep into account the light factor. Ask yourself if you want a room that has most of natural light coming or a room with artificial light. As per your preference, you can plan your space and make provision for light.

In interior designing institutes, the concept of light is an important part of the interior designing curriculum.

Space Modification

  

This is an important part of space planning. Many times we wish to modify our existing space but cannot do so because of the rigid plan. So, always plan a space that gives an extra room to accommodate your new ideas.

Taking the above points into consideration, you can easily plan any given space. Make space planning your area of expertise and design habitable wonders!

Starting career as an Interior Designer...

Hello Friends,

This is Monali Karande from Pune, working as Professional Interior Designer. I would like to welcome you all in my first blog post.

When the first time I got an thought in mind about the blogging that time I was thinking to start with some of interior topics or projects but I think it would be good to start with what's the Interior Designer and Interior Decorator. Both seems similar but having different meaning and areas to work with.

Interior Designer Vs Interior Decorator 

Many people use the terms “interior design” and “interior decorating” interchangeably, but these professions differ in critical ways. Interior design is the art and science of understanding people’s behavior to create functional spaces within a building. Decoration is the furnishing or adorning of a space with fashionable or beautiful things. In short, interior designers may decorate, but decorators do not design. Interior designers apply creative and technical solutions within a structure that are functional, attractive and beneficial to the occupants’ quality of life and culture.

Activity

Interior Design Designers can be comfortable with space planning and help design and renovate interiors—from drawing up the initial floor plans to placing the last decorative accent. Designers don't just enhance the look; they also enhance the function of a room. Interior designers often work closely with architects and contractors to achieve the look the client desires, whether that client is designing a residential home, an office, a hotel, or any other interior space.

Interior Decorating Good decorators can help clients decide on a style, choose a color scheme, purchase furniture, and accessories. They’re also often brought into an existing space that needs to be updated.
