INTERIOR SPACE: MEANING AND TYPES

We all dream of having a perfect home that allows us to feel safe and ease, while also dazzling our friends and family with a space that welcomes them in. The dream would be to invite them to stay awhile. There are tones of decisions to make when it comes to picking up your choice of furniture and colors.

It can be overwhelming for many people to grasp interior designing skills.  I know that you guys must be excited to grab your seats and learn HOW TO EASILY BECOME AN  INTERIOR DESIGNER. So let's get into our boats and start sailing form the beginning of our journey 😃.

In this blog I'll knowledge you with amazing facts and information about the true essence of interior spaces which can help you to begin your journey to become a basic designer.

The foundation of an interior; space is a fundamental concept to understand, ensuring that we are best equipped to take advantage of what is available to us. The available ‘space’ usually can’t be easily changed (though sometimes a designer may have the luxury of doing so), so we need to work with what we  have within the physical boundaries of the room.

Space can be split into two categories: positive and negative space. Positive space is space containing objects, where as negative space is the open/empty space (including any space between objects). Striking a balance between the negative and positive spaces of a room is essential to avoid overcrowding, or on the other end of the spectrum, sparseness. 

This balance will be influenced by the client’s needs in the specific area/room and its required functionality. For example, negative space is required for traffic paths.

It is also crucial to consider the scale and size of the furniture and objects placed in a room, as this can be used to make the space appear larger or smaller given the desired outcome. A tall object such as a book case can give the illusion of height.

Different design styles will lend themselves to different uses of space – for example, a minimalist design will have far more negative space than your average eclectic design. However, no matter what is your design brief, how you use and balance the space available to you, can be the difference between hitting the mark with your design concept or missing out on your next commission.
