How home furnishing can add personality to a space?

Dear friends, have you ever entered an empty room,without any furniture in it. Such a room always looksspacious, but lacks a "personality".

The moment you start adding some furniture, the spacestarts to attract a face on itself. Depending upon thevolume of the objects being put, the space gets altered ina dynamic fashion.

A typical home consists of a living room, bed room(s), kitchen,toilet blocks, family room, study room etc.. All thesespaces have their own specific function from the user'spoint of view.

When these spaces get furnished the previous identity ofan empty space get blocked by the objects being placed.The face of the furniture object, is the new face of theroom. Whenever you enter these rooms, you see the new facefirst, since the furniture occupies quite a bit of floorand wall space.

Any habitual space also has one more important aspectattached to it. Every habitual space always has windowsas a necessary functional arrangement. Depending upon thefunction of the room the space can have doors as well.

These openings in walls create a kind of attachment of theinterior space with outside natural world. This is a verypowerful aspect in any design project. If the outside floraand fauna is densely populated with natural elements suchas trees, water, mountains, this reflects clearly anddirectly on the choice of furniture the designer wouldmake in the inside spaces.

If the home is located in a crowd urban cityscape, the choice of design theme would be different. The choiceof furniture is directly related to comfort level of everyindividual. Selecting furniture which goes with theentire theme as well as satisfies the person on thecomfort scale can change the way the room feels.

So the personality of an interior space is largely dependanton what's happening outside the space, rather than the spaceitself. The outside events such a presence of seashore, flowing river, mountain ranges, snow falls, or even ahighway full of traffic can greatly alter the furnishing.

For example if your home is just next to a busy street, youmight want to use cane curtains on windows which wouldcut-off all the noise easily. So the use of curtains has altered the face of the room to some extent and thus forcesthe designer to make appropriate choices for other objectsin the room, which would easily merge with the texture,color, finish of the cane curtains.

On the other hand if your home is on a sea shore, youmight go in for curtains which block the heavy wind, butdon't block the beautiful view. Here again the room wouldhave a different face and the entire theme makes a shifton itself.

I hope this article was helpful for everyone.
