When designing any room whether it’s in a residential or commercial
setting, function is always one of the top considerations. In residential
spaces, this is often seen in rooms such as the kitchen or bathroom
where homeowners are looking to make maximum use of the space
available; products need to be practical and serve a purpose.
The look and feel of a room can have a huge impact on the way a
room is perceived. An aesthetically pleasing space, that fits in with
the client’s personality and character can really make a room feel like
home. Similarly, in a commercial setting there can be a real benefit
to designing a space that fits in with the brand or business that it
represents.
A well-designed space has the power to create an atmosphere or
a specific experience to fit the rooms purpose. For example, if the
homeowner is looking to create a social space for entertaining,
seating needs to be taken into consideration as well as logistical
factors such as layout to maximise the floor space. Does the room
need to be a family space and fit the needs of a busy home with hard-
wearing materials? Design can really alter the feel of an environment,
and it’s important to understand what the client is looking for.
Another design consideration that is increasing in popularity is
belief. This could range from a client demand for sustainable
manufacturing or vegan design, to ways of organising the room
such as Feng Shui. Designers, architects and clients will all have
their own personal beliefs and it’s important to weave these into
the design of a space - the room needs to represent the brief you
are designing for.
Making a space feel personal and creating a space that displays the
client or homeowner’s individuality is an emerging trend that shows
no sign of slowing down. kbb Birmingham will provide a wide range
