A family's demands on their
home change with time. Before you begin to plan the spaces in your home,
analyze what you have and determine the purpose and function of each room,
work out exactly what you want from the space. Ask yourself how it will be
used, and by how many people at a time. What do you want those room to be?
It is often best to
consider the whole house first. There is no need to be conventional about
allocating room to particular locations. BE FLEXIBLE in your thinking.
Consider using downstairs rooms for dinning and family room. Upstairs, the
main bedroom could be used as an adult's sitting room. And if your house
is getting too small for a growing family, you may think about extending
and enlarging your house, although planning an extra space needs careful
thought. If your has an integral garage, you could convert it into a work
or play room.
Planning rooms too needs
thought and analysis. You need to consider the basic characteristics of
each room, its size, shape and orientation, the way it faces. Aim to
create a COMFORTABLE TRAFFIC FLOW in each room, avoiding awkward
obstruction, providing good storage space, and creating an environment
that is positive and workable according to the purpose and function of the
room.
In today's homes, with
restricted space, you may need to plan some rooms to be MULTIFUNCTIONAL.
You may need to be flexible, especially when choosing furniture, storage
and surfaces in order to make sure that they will suit the different
activities taking place.
Planning space also
involves THINKING AHEAD. What begins now as a nursery may over the years,
have to evolve into a bed-sitting room for a teenager. Your kitchen may
now only contain basic items, in the future you may be adding more
equipments as your needs change. Think carefully before knocking down
interior walls and creating a vast open plan space.
