BEDROOM SPACE PLAN

THE BUBBLE PLAN
 THE WAY TO START A SPACE PLAN IS BY ROUGHLY DRAWING
OUT A MAP OF THE SPACE AND CREATING A BUBBLE PLAN. A
BUBBLE PLAN IS SIMPLE DIAGRAM THAT WILL SHOW YOU
WHAT ACTIVITIES TAKE PLACE IN THE SPACE AN THE
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THERE ACTIVITIES.
ZONING A BEDROOM
 WITH HIGH CEILINGS, YOU CAN MAKE QUITE A PEDESTAL ON
WHICH TO PLACE THE BED, THUS FREEING SPACE FOR THE
ORGANIZATION OF THE WORKSPACE OR STORAGE CLOSET
 THE BEDROOM FROM THE LIVING ROOM CAN BE SEPERATED
BY MOBILE PARTITIONS, WHICH ARE OFTEN USED IN THE
CONSTRUCTION OF BUILT-IN CABINETS.
 NO LESS AN ORIGINAL SOLUTION MAKE A BEDROOM IN THE
ORIENTAL STYLE. IN THIS CASE, THE BED IS REPLACED BY
THE STOVE BENCH WITH PLENTY OF PILLOWS AND BED-
TRANSFORMER, WHICH IF NECESSARY, CAN EASILY PICK UP
AND HIDE IN A SPECIAL CABINET.
 WHEN PLANNING A BEDROOM, FIRST OF ALL, THINK ABOUT
THE LOCATION OF THE BED, THE HEADBOARD IS BETTER TO
MOVE UP CLOSE TO ONE OF THE WALLS. A SUCEESSFUL
DESIGN METHOD PUT A BED IN A CERTAIN NICHE, WHICH
SHOULD BE FINISHED WITH A CONTRASTING INTERIOR
FABRICS AND MATERIALS. BEDROOM IS BETTER TO CHOOSE
MATTE WALLPAPER, IF YOU WANT TO SEPARATE THE
FUNCTIONAL AREAS CAN BE CLOTH, WOOD OR CORK.
LIGHTING IN THE BEDROOM SHOULD BE BRIGHT AND
UNIFORM, BECAUSE THE ROOM IS MOST OFTEN USED IN THE
EVENING AND NIGHT HOURS.
SPACE PLANNING ACCORDINGLY:

SPACE PLANNING IS A FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENT OF THE INTERIOR
DESIGN PROCESS. IT STARTS WITH AN IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS OF HOW
THE SPACE IS TO BE USED. THE DESIGNER THEN DRAWS UP A PLAN
THAT DEFINES THE ZONES OF THE SPACE AND ACTIVITIES THAT
WILL TAKE PLACE IN THOSE ZONES. THE SPACE PLAN WILL ALSO
DEFINE THE CIRCULATION PATTERNS THAT SHOW HOW PEOPLE
WILL MOVE THROUGH THE SPACE. THE PLAN IS FINISHED BY
ADDING DETAILS OF ALL THE FURNITURE, EQUIPMENT AND
HARDWARE PLACEMENT.
DIMENSIONS AND ROOM SIZES

BEDROOM SIZE FOR A TWIN (SINGLE) BED
MINIMUM / STANDARD BEDROOM SIZE (TWIN/SINGLE) BY
CODE
 MOST BUILDING CODES REQURE A MINIMUM FLOOR AREA OF
70 SQUARE FOOT (EG 7FT X 10FT BEDROOM) WITH A CEILING
HEIGHT OF 7FT 6INS OF CEILING HEIGHT FOR A ROOM TO BE
‘HABITABLE’.
 THIS MATTERS BECAUSE A SINGLE BEDROOM COULD FIT
INTO A SPACE SMALLER THAN THIS BUT IT WON’T MEET THIS
REQUIREMENT AND WON’T BE ABLE TO LIST IT AS A
BEDROOM ON A REAL ESTATE LISTING.
MINIMUM BEDROOM SIZE (TWIN/SINGLE) – SMALLER
THAN CODE
 IF YOU’RE GOING TO FO SMALLER – JUST BE AWARE THAT IT
WON’T BE RECOGNIZED AS A BEDROOM – AND MAKE SURE
THERE’S A PLANNED FIRE ESCAPE ROUTE.
 A TINY SINGLE BEDROOM 6FT 6IN X 6FT 6IN WOULD FIT IN A
SINGLE BED, SMALL WARDROBE AND DESK BUT WOULD BE
VERY CRAMPED AND WOULD NOT COMPLY WITH BUILDING
CODE. THIS ROOM WOULD ALSO BENEFIT FROM A POCKET
DOOR.
 ARRANGEMENT WHEN A CLOSET (WITH A WINDOW) WAS
CONVERTED TO MAKE A SMALL BEDROOM WHEN TWO
CHILDREN WERE SHARING A ROOM, COME TO THINK OF IT
THE DOOR WOULD HAVE SWUNG OUT INTO THE BEDROOM.
CLEARANCES BETWEEN WALLS AND

FURNITURES
 A GOOD PLANNER HAS IN HIS MIND THE FOLLOWING
MINIMUM CLEARANNCES BETWEEN WALLS AND FURNITURE.
1. BETWEEN WALL AND FURNITURE - 5 TO 7 CM.
2. BETWEEN FURNITURE UNITS - 5 TO 10 CM.
3. ONE SIDE OR FOOT OF BED FOR DRESSING - 100 TO 110 CM.
4. BETWEEN SIDE OF BED AND SIDE OF DRESSER, OR CHEST - 15
TO 20 CM.
5. IN FRONT OF DRESSER, CLOSET AND CHEST DRAWER - 90 TO
100 CM.
6. IN ONE SIDE OF BED FOR CIRCULATION - 55 TO 60 CM.
7. FOR MAJOR CIRCULATION PATH DOOR - 60 TO 70 CM.
8. ON LEAST USED SIDE OF DOUBLE BED - 3 TO 40 CM.
SIDE OF BED
SINGLE - 90 TO 96 CM. X 230 CM. LONG (C)
TWIN BED - 96 X 230 CM. LONG (F)
THREE QUARTER BED - 125-135 X 230 CM. LONG (B)
DOUBLE BED - 135 X 230 CM. LONG
ROLL AWAY BED - 60 X 150 CM. ON EDGE, 8CM. CLEARANCE ON
WALL SIDE (A)
BED CHAIRS (G) - 35 TO 60 X 30 TO 60 CM.
BEDROOM CHAIRS (H) - SMALL 50 X 50 CM.
LARGER 75 X 85 CM X 80 TO 95 CM.
DRESSERS (3 DRAWERS) (D) - 90 TO 120 X 45 TO 55 CM.
CHEST OF DRAWERS (4 DRAWERS) (D) - 80 TO 100 X 45 TO 55 CM.
CHAISE LOUNGE - 60 TO 70 X 120 TO 165 CM.
DAYBED - 83 TO 97 X 185 TO 210 CM.
DRESSING TABLE - 37 TO 55 X 90 TO 125 CM.
EMOTION AND PSYCHOLOGY

WHAT IS ROOM COLOR PSYCHOLOGY?
 YOUR BEDROOM IS A PLACE OF PEACE AND RELAXATION, SO
BEDROOM COLORS AND MOOD SHOULD INCORPORATE
COLORS THAT BRING A GENERAL PEACE AND RESETFULNESS
TO THE SPACE. WHEN DECIDING ON A ROOM COLOR FOR
YOUR BEDROOM, CONSIDER THE ROOM COLOR PSYCHOLOGY
OF SUCH COLORS AS GREEN, BLUE, AND PURPLE FOR THEIR
RELAXING QUALITIES.
COLOR TO USE IN YOUR BEDROOM:
 GREEN IS BELIVED TO RELIEVE STRESS AND HELP WITH
FERTILITY, MAKING IT A GREAT CHOICE FOR THE BEDROOM.
 BLUE IS SAID TO LOWER BLOOD PRESSURE WHILE SLOWING
YOUR RESPIRATION AND HEART RATE.
 PURPLE IN LIGHTER SHADES, SUCH AS LAVENDER AND LILAC,
STILL BRING A RELAXING QUALITY TO THE BEDROOMS
WITHOUT THE RISK OF FEELING TOO COLD.
COLORS TO AVOID IN YOUR BEDROOM:
 ORANGE IS A BRIGHT COLOR OF ENERGY THAT DIRECTLY
CONTRADICTS THE RELAXING MOOD FOR YOUR BEDROOM.
 PASTEL BLUE CAN BECOME UNPLEASANTLY CHILLY ON THE
WALLS, ESPECIALLY IN A ROOM THAT RECEIVES LITTLE
NATURAL LIGHT.
CLIMATIC FACTORS
WARM AND HUMID
 THE HIGH HUMIDITY AND WARM TEMPERATURES REQUIRE
MAXIMUM VENTILATION, WHICH LEADS TO VERY OPEN
BUILDINGS. THIS IS VALID NOT ONLY FOR THE DESIGN OF THE
ELEVATIONS BUT ALSO FOR THE FLOOR PLAN. FREE PASSAGE
OF AIR FOR CROSS-VENTILATION THROUGH THE INTERIOR IS
IMPORTANT
HOT AND DRY
 THE ROOM AND LAYOUT DEPENDS ON THE BUILDING TYPE. A
COURTYARD DESIGN HAS CERTAIN ADVANTAGES. HEAT-
PRODUCING AREAS SHOULD BE SEPERATED FROM OTHER
AREAS OF THE HOUSE.
 NON-INHABITABLE SPACES SHOULD BE PLACED ON THE
WEST SIDE TO CHECK THE SUN’S IMPACT. INTERNAL HEAT
GAIN CAN BE AVOIDED BY A FUNCTIONAL LAYOUT.
 BEDROOMS SHOULD BE ON THE EAST SIDE, AND OUTDOOR
OR ROOD SLEEPING POSSIBILITIES SHOULD BE CONSIDERED.
LIVING ROOMS SHOULD BE ON THE NORTH OR SOUTH SIDE.
 THE DEPTH OF INTERIOR SPACES SHOULD ALLOW FOR
PROPER NATURAL LIGHTING.
APPLICATION OF THE ELEMENTS OF DESIGN

SPACE - “LENGTH, WIDTH, AND HEIGHT” THIS THREE-
DIMENSIONAL SPACE CAN BE FILLED OR LEFT EMPTY, DEPENDING
UPON WHAT YOU NEED TO ACHIEVE FROM A FUNCTIONALITY AND
DESIGN PERSPECTIVE.
LINE - VERTICAL LINES, CREATED BY FEATURES SUCH AS

WINDOWS AND DOORWAYS, EVOKE FEELINGS OF FREEDOM AND
STRENGTH.
FORM - FORMS CAN USUALLY BE DESCRIBED AS EITHER
GEOMETRIC OR NATURAL. FORMS CAN ALSO BE OPEN OBJECTS
THAT CAN BE LOOKED INTO OR CLOSED SELF-CONTAINED.
LIGHT - BEYOND ITS FUNCTIONAL PURPOSE, LIGHT HAS THE

ABILITY TO SET THE MOOD AND ATMOSPHERE OF A SPACE WGILE
DEFINING COLOUR, LINE AND TEXTURE.
COLOUR – WHEN CONSIDERING THE COLOUR OF A ROOM, FIRST

THINK ABOUT WHAT THE ROOM WILL BE USED FOR. SECONDLY,
CONSIDER HOW BOTH NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL LIGHTING WILL
AFFECT YOUR SELECTED COLOUR ACROSS THE DAY AND NIGHT,
GIVEN THAT LIGHT CAN ALTER OUR COLOUR PERCEPTION.
TEXTURE – TEXTURE COMES IN TWO FORMS (VISUAL TEXTURE

AND ACTUAL TEXTURE}. VISUAL TEXTURE REFERS TO TEXTURE
THAT IS PERCEIVED BY THE EYE. IN OTHER WORDS, THIS IS THE
IMPRESSION OF TEXTURE ONE GETS BY ONLY VIEWING AN OBJECT.
ACTUAL OR TACTILE TEXTURES CAN BE SEEN OR FELT AND HAS 3D
CHARACTERISTICS. FOR EXAMPLE, A FLUFFY, COLOURFUL
CUSHION CAN BE APPRECIATED NOT ONLY WITH THE EYE BUT
ALSO WITH TOUCH.
PATTERN – HOWEVER, AS DISCSSED IN THE ELEMENT OF LINE,

PATTERNS THAT CREATE VERTICAL OR HORIZONTAL LINES CAN BE
USED TO GIVE A HEIGHTENED SENSE OF SPACE. COMPLEX PATTERN
MADE UP OF CONTRASTING COLOURS AND LINES CAN LIVEN UP A
ROOM, HOWEVER THEY ARE BEST USED IN THE FORM OF A
FEATURE WALL. LARGE SCALE PATTERNS CAN FLOURISH IN A
LARGE SPACE AND BECOME A DISTINCT FOCAL POINT TO THE
ROOM.
