Design and Function of Interior Space
Unit 5 Interior Design
Measure Up!!!Measure your room. Get the width, length, height,
furniture, and other items. This information will be
used for a later assignment so get it done early.
1. 3 Basic Interior Living Zones
a. Living and Social Area
Used for activities and entertainment
Living room, dining room, family room, game room, great rooms, entry ways, porches, dining etc.
b. Sleeping/PrivateArea
Quiet, comfort, and privacy Bedroom, Bathroom,
Closets, and Dressing rooms.
c. Service/Work Where household work is
done. Kitchen, Garage, Office,
Basement, Utility/Laundry room.
Circulation - the route that people (Family, Work , Service, and Guest) follow as they move from one place to another throughout the home. Generally 3-4 feet in width of space is allowed for major circulation paths and
2-2.5 feet of space for minor circulation paths.
Circulation Frequency - refers to the number of times a route is repeated in any given period of time. Generally routes with high circulation frequency are short and direct
in a good floor plan.
THINK Frequency of use, Location, and Length – whendeciding which pattern will provide the easiest access from point A to point B.
2. Traffic & Circulation Patterns
of the Home
Can the cook prepare a meal without worrying about constantly walking into someone going by?
If you spend a lot of time grilling outside on the patio, is it convenient to the inside food prep area? Do you have to walk through to the other end of the
house to reach the outdoor grill? Can you bring the groceries right in from the
outside without having to go through the living room?
Ask yourself these Questions
Ask Yourself How do guests travel to the living room when you are
entertaining? Do they have to go through private areas of your home? How do they get to the powder room (1/2 bathroom)? Is the kitchen handy for serving food and drinks to your
guests when you are entertaining?

Traffic pattern.
(You will learn more about circulation on your own while you work on assignments!)
Dictate how functional a space will beBathrooms should be located close to
bedrooms for convenience and privacy**
Kitchen by garage and the service entrance**
Kitchen area adjacent to the dining room for ease in serving food.
Dining area adjacent to the living room for convenience in entertaining.**
Plumbing lines located near one another** This will save you money, water, and fuel.
Room Relationships
Related rooms should be close to one anotherFireplaces/closets back to back or stackedEasy access from garage to kitchen and
storage areasLaundry room close to bedroomsBathroom near guest areaCoat closet by living roomClothes closets between sleeping and activity
areas provides a good sound barrier.Storage should be incorporated throughout the
home**
Room Relationships Cont’d
Room sizes will be set bythe number of rooms needed the cubic footage possible for a certain amount
of money that the rooms fit into.housing type of construction and style.amount of furniture and its arrangementactivities that will go on in the roomnumber of people to use or occupy the room.
5. Sizes and Shapes of Rooms
SEE THE INFORMATION IN THE STUDY GUIDE FOR THESE
MEASUREMENT GUIDELINES
1. Storage should be incorporated throughout the house – not just in one area.
2. Storage space needs to be adequate—10-15% of the home
Food, kitchen utensils, clothes, linen, laundry, misc
3. Should be convenient and easily accessible
Easy to clean, to see into and to reach4. Storage Types:
Built-in—cannot be moved around the room, an architectural detail of the roomCupboards, closets, pantries, etc….
Furniture—can be moved from one room to anotherDesks, chests, dressers, trunks, armoires, etc…
6. Storage Adequacy and Considerations
1. An effective floor plan consists of useable wall space that is not broken up with windows and doors.
2. Consider location of electrical outlets, television cables, phone plugs, etc…
3. Enough wall space potential furniture arrangements.
4. Wall space for using and hanging interior decorations
