Concepts, Standards and Trends in Interior Space Planning

Interior space planning is taking on a new stance altogether. Whether it is a home, office or commercial space – some degree of space planning is required. Professional advice enables you to make the maximum use of the available area. 

Why is interior space planning such a big deal today? It is obvious that everyone wants to use the space they have, in the best possible manner. Professional interior space planning enables you to get the most out of a room. 

Planning is an integral part of interior design. Space planning begins at the architectural level. If you want a room to be of a specific size it has to be built with those dimensions. To change the room size of an existing structure it would require structural modifications to the interiors. 

To quite a large extent, space planning constitutes designing the given area to meet the required specifications. Interior design and space planning go hand in hand. You cannot have one without the other. 

Why do you need interior space planning?

The importance of planning should not be undermined. Interior space planning is very critical for highly functional spaces. For example, your kitchen, bedroom, office workstation area, etc., are areas that have a lot of activity. These rooms have to be planned according to the functions they serve. A conference room or a guest bedroom, which is sparingly used, doesn’t need much space planning. The focus is more on aesthetics rather than the functionality of the space. 

The functionality of the room defines its interior space design. Using the available space in an efficient manner is the main crux of interior planning. Interior space planning allows you to define a room according to its appropriate function. It also ensures that you make maximum use of the available area. Interior planning is the end of clutter, chaos, and confusion in a room. It helps to organize your room to serve its intended purpose. 

Key elements to keep in mind

There are a few space planning principles that help a room remain organized. It is worthwhile considering these key elements when planning the interior design of a room. 

Be practical: There should be ample room for movement. A room should have a clear passageway to access the main focal points. Furniture should be placed in a usable manner. Considering the practical aspects of the room is of utmost priority when planning space utilization. 

Room Functionality: Every room has a function. The interior space planning should be based keeping in mind the principle purpose of the room. The interior design of a room should suit its function.
