The concept of dynamic space in bedroom design.

Dear friends, can you define the term "space". By space I don'tmean the universe or the astronomical point of view. A spaceis the area which is enclosed between walls, floor and ceilingand which can be used as a habitual room.

Any empty bedroom space has certain parameters attached to itthe moment it gets created.
What are these parameters?

First of all the length, width, and height , the physicaldimensions of the bedroom. These three have a unique relation to each other. Rooms with less length and width and too muchheight or too broad length and width and less height are notproportionate and tend to create discomfort.

But there are special cases where too much of height is anecessity. Some examples are church buildings, cinema halls.Here it is necessary to accommodate large group of peopleand project a kind if grandness through design.
That's why the space gets altered depending upon the use or"function" of the space. Hence in a bedroom the space takesa form of its own depending upon inners activities of the space.

Let's see how.

Any bedroom space has certain leakage points attached toit. By "leakage" I don't mean rain water or any other kindof stuff coming in. The bedroom space is likely to have exitpoint attached to it, like following,

1)Exit to backyard.
2)Exit to attached toile block.
3)Exit to attached walk-in closet
4)Exit to balcony or terrace.
5)Openings of windows.

Depending upon the location of these, an imaginary travel pathgets fixed starting from the entrance door of the bedroom. Thisimaginary travel path forces the user to arrange the furniture,in a way which will not create obstruction in the path.

After the furniture has been arranged, what remains is the spaceused for circulation inside the bedroom. If the bedroom has asmall area and too many exit points (as mentioned above), thenthe room is left with a fixed furniture layout.

At such times the success of the bedroom decorating projectlies in detailing. By detailing I mean small things such asupholstery materials, color schemes, furniture textures and finishes.

But with bedrooms which have large areas, the moment you change the furniture layout, the circulation space takesa new form and the entire room looks a new one. This iswhat I mean by "dynamic space" which takes a new shape.

It's like that example of the glass half filled with water.The moment you change the quantity of water space alters and the glass looks different.

Here we have come to an interesting conclusion of this article.From the above discussion one thing is very clear. The "personality" of a space can be easily altered by allowing the empty circulation space to take a new form.
In interior design everyone talks about furniture, colors, textures,paints, wallpapers, etc... but no one talks about "Empty Space"which is equally powerful. Finally it is the empty space whichremains and is a measure of the comfort level for the user.If there is very less empty space remaining in a room after the furniture is placed, it is considered uncomfortable.

I hope this article was informative to everyone.
