Nice Sleeping room Design
by: Shrinivas Vaidya
Dear friends, booming design is a relative term. What is nice or
booming for me may not be so from your point of view.
But once
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 inhabitable 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, breadth and
height. Once
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. Once again the type
of seating wish change the dimensions of the chair. A chair in waiting
lobby of a bank wish be several than a sofa.
So proportions play a major role in interior design and piece of furniture in
your sleeping room must besides 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 besides helps to support the biological balance of
the planet Earth, it is really more necessary in the interior spaces.
Study shows that natural light can penetrate in an interior space up to
20 feet (Approx. 7 meters). Exploitation appropriate position for window opening
can easily accomplish this.
3) Natural Ventilation
A free and clear flow of air can be a great way to support the
atmosphere cool and clean in an interior space. This is possible wherever
bedrooms are placed at the corner of the building wherever
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 conception behind
the ventilator is simple. The lower half the sleeping room 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 current
the
flow through the room in an upward direction. Once
the lower portion of
the room becomes empty fresh air from window takes its position, thus
maintaining a balance.
4) Clean Movement Patterns.
Every sleeping room 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 yard (if on ground floor)
If we draw an fanciful line from the entry point to all these exit
points, ideally the should not intersect. Since all another areas are
already occupied with furniture, keeping the inside circulation space
clear, helps to accomplish a comfortable space.
5) Nice Provision For Inclusion Of Accessories.
Accessories in a sleeping room have equal importance. Once
all another factors
mentioned above are fairly met what remains is the use of accessories
which can do quite a lot of difference in the comfort level of the
habitants.
a) The 1st and the most important is a nice provision of artificial
lighting. This includes basic lighting as well as special cosmetic
lighting for cosmetic purposes.
b) Special provision for upholstery and linen. Small details such as
curtain rods, provision for bed canopies can do the room extra
decorative.
c) Use materials that are easy to clean and maintain. For example if
you are exploitation PVC flooring sheets on top of standard covered
flooring, is it
washable? Think of what wish happen if your child uses it as a painting
canvas.
The discussion above was an attempt to look for several universal factor
that can affect the comfort level of the users in a bedroom. Finally the
feeling which you get once
you use your sleeping room is most important and is a
nice 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.
