Room planning - this is how the interior design works

 

Regardless of whether you want to plan the entire apartment or just one room: Room planning and a makeover of your interior are best achieved with the appropriate apps and tools, for example on the tablet. But: a pen and a piece of paper are sufficient for the beginning.

Before spatial planning: needs analysis

Clarify your needs before planning the space. Good room planning is based on the individual lifestyle and attaches importance to the three components function, arrangement, and style. It often also helps to work withdrawn floor plans during room planning, to go through room by room individually, but always to look at the rooms in context. Everyone should ask themselves these questions at the beginning of successful spatial planning.

Do I buy small portions for dinner one or two weeks every day for myself and my family, so that I have to consider enough storage space for groceries when planning my room?

Do I collect books? Shoes? Stamps?

Are the rooms in my apartment all cut similarly or are there serious deviations that have to be considered when planning my room?

How much light falls through which windows at which time of day?

Should the room take on one or more functions (living and working, cooking and eating)?

Which advantages should the spatial planning emphasize, which disadvantages should be as invisible as possible afterward?

Space planning for the kitchen

Shopping habits, the way of cooking, the preferred style, but also the layout of the room all influence room planning in the kitchen. Place storage cupboards close to the work area, make sure that items you use every day are not stowed so far up or down in the cupboard. In the case of small kitchens, you can also use color for tricks, because once you have considered the room planning, light tones make the kitchen appear much larger. The restrained decoration of the windows and the avoidance of excessively dark curtain fabrics during the room planning have a similar effect.

 

Room planning for the living room

The room planning in the living room depends on how you spend your free time, how many functions the room has, and whether you like it cozy, patristic, modern or colorful. If storage space in the living room is only to be used for books or your hobby utensils, your room planning will turn out differently than if a dining or work area also has to be integrated into the room during your room planning. A free-standing bookshelf is often sufficient to separate the individual functional areas in the room from one another. Combined use should be considered in the context of room planning because then the demarcation usually creates a not only visual calm but also more storage space in the room.

Room planning for the bathroom

A bathroom that is only intended for adults requires a completely different spatial planning than a bathroom that you share with your children or that guests should also use. Children must be taken into account when planning the height of the washbasin, mirror, or toilet. Besides, successful room planning takes into account storage space at a height that is inaccessible to children, where medicines or razors can be found. Important: the bathroom makes its grand entrance in the mornings and evenings when time is short and the light is still or already sparse. Take good lighting into account when planning your room. After all, "woman" doesn't want to put on make-up in the dark and no man wants to shave on luck. Wallboards for small items such as soap or toothbrushes keep the edge of the sink free.

Storage space for the bedroom

Practical jeans and t-shirt guy or shopaholic? Fan of pillows, blankets, and decorations or a straightforward purist? Answering these questions will influence the room planning in the bedroom, because here too the motto is: what is allowed is allowed, but with little tricks and good room planning, storage space can be conjured up where you would not have expected it before. Likewise, with good room planning, you can iron out any disadvantages in the layout of the room or a lack of daylight. If you pay attention to harmonious and calming colors and simple blackout options, for example by using different opaque curtains, nothing stands in the way of pleasant nights in your new bedroom.

Casual and minimalist: the kitchen without wall units

Old building walls, pipes, windows, or sloping ceilings: If it is not the desire for a more airy feeling of space that allows you to do without wall units, but these are simply not possible from a structural point of view, the design issue of the kitchen is all the more urgent.

The opportunity: especially when windows or sloping ceilings are in the way and you, therefore, have to do without extractor hoods or tall cabinets such as those for fridge-freezers, the kitchen looks like a long sideboard and is automatically calm and tidy. Especially when it is designed in a somewhat minimalist way in terms of the color and shape of the fronts.

Besides, the kitchen mirror, here made of metro tiles, comes into its own even more if it is not half covered by the wall unit.

And does the extra-long dining table fit in well between the door and window? 3D room planners help to clarify these questions before you buy: They can be used to set up entire rooms, view them in three dimensions, and walk through them - virtually on a PC, iPhone or tablet.
