BEDROOMS | An Architect Explains

A bedroom is the space in a house where you spend the maximum amount of time in a day because sleeping takes up approximately one third of your life. The Bedroom is the private place, where you can unwind, retire after a hard day’s work and sleep. It is a space where you need to have sound sleep to gain energy for the next day. Therefore the energy in the bedroom must be positive, snug  and relaxing.

As an Architect, practising in India, while designing a house I have to keep in mind every room’s furniture arrangement to decide the size. So when it comes to a bedroom, I have to consider the type of bedroom, the number of bedroom furniture pieces, the storage and the style desired by the client. Listed here under the following headings, are some of the guidelines for the design and planning of a Bedroom:
