5 Essential Factors Of A Good Bedroom Design
Dear friends, successful design is a relative term. What is good
or successful for me may not be so from your point of view.
But when it comes to interior design, there are certain factors
which are always present no matter what the use of the space is.
Let's have a look at the bare minimum design factors a space
must have so that it can be called a comfortable and habitable
space.
1) Proportions of the room.
The word "proportions" is always used in the design field. Every
interior space which is being used by humans must be
proportionate. Proportions are extremely important in any
design.
Every 3 dimensional object has properties such as length, width
and height. When these 3 are in accordance with the proportions
of various parts of human body we call it a "proportionate"
design.
For example a handle of a wardrobe must have dimensions such
that our fingers can hold it properly for effortless and smooth
action. or a chair seat must have enough are so that we can sit
comfortably. Again the type of seating will change the
dimensions of the chair. A chair in waiting lobby of a bank will
be different than a sofa.
So proportions play a major role in interior design and
furniture in your bedroom must also follow these rules. The
dimensions of the double bed, it's height from floor level,
height of wardrobe, dimensions of dressing table, etc...all
these matter as far as function is concerned.
2) Natural light entering the room.
There is no alternative for naturally lit spaces. Sun being the
strongest source of light and also helps to keep the biological
balance of the planet Earth, it is very much necessary in the
interior spaces.
Study shows that natural light can penetrate in an interior
space up to 20 feet (Approx. 7 meters). Using appropriate
position for window opening can easily achieve this.
3) Natural Ventilation
A free and unobstructed flow of air can be a great way to keep
the atmosphere cool and clean in an interior space. This is
possible where bedrooms are located at the corner of the
building where 2 sides of the bedrooms have external faces.
Where it is not possible to provide windows on adjacent faces or
opposite faces, a ventilator above the window is used. The
concept behind the ventilator is simple. The lower half the
bedroom height is always used by the habitants. Because of the
constant use of this are the air temperature rises and
air
becomes light weight.
This hot air rises above and must need an escape. At such times
ventilators above the window openings play a major role of
circulating the flow through the room in an upward direction.
When the lower portion of the room becomes empty fresh air from
window takes its position, thus maintaining a balance.
4) Clear Movement Patterns.
Every bedroom has certain exit points attached to it. Such as a)
Exit to balcony/ terrace. b) Exit to toilet block/ walk in
closet c) Exit to backyard (if on ground floor)
If we draw an imaginary line from the entry point to all these
exit points, ideally the should not intersect. Since all other
areas are already occupied with furniture, keeping the inside
circulation space clear, helps to achieve a comfortable space.
5) Good Provision For Inclusion Of Accessories.
Accessories in a bedroom have equal importance. When all other
factors mentioned above are fairly met what remains is the use
of accessories which can make quite a lot of difference in the
comfort level of the habitants.
a) The first and the most important is a good provision of
artificial lighting. This includes basic lighting as well as
special decorative lighting for decorative purposes. b) Special
provision for upholstery and linen. Small details such as
curtain rods, provision for bed canopies can make the room extra
decorative. c) Use materials that are easy to clean and
maintain. For example if you are using PVC flooring sheets on
top of standard tiled flooring, is it washable? Think of what
will happen if your child uses it as a painting canvas.
The discussion above was an attempt to look for some universal
factor that can affect the comfort level of the users in a
bedroom. Finally the feeling which you get when you use your
bedroom is most important and is a good measure to decide the
success factor of the design project.
However it is important to note that these are not the only
factors that need to be looked upon, but I'm sure these can help
as a starting point for further creative thinking.
I hope this article was informative to everyone.
