Things To Consider While Designing A Guest Bedroom
by: Shrinivas Vaidya
A bedroom is a place where we relax. Depending upon the
age group normally bedrooms are categorized as master bedroom,
teen bedroom, child/kid bedroom.
But a home building may also have a provision for a guest bedroom
in it. If the architect of the building has taken enough care
while designing the building, a guest bedroom is located on the
ground floor.
I have seen home designs where a guest bedroom is deliberately
located on ground floor and used as a income source by
giving the room o rent. This is common practice in crowded cities.
Because of its location on ground floor it is easy to
give a separate access to the space without disturbing the privacy
of the entire house.
Ideally a guest bedroom should have a good natural lighting and
ventilation. A good view of the surroundings from the window is
also appreciated. It is like treating the guest bedroom just
like the master one.
Good quality furniture with easy access to attached toilet block
is also strongly recommended. The most important aspect according
to me is cleanliness. Since a guest has a very limited time span
to spend in his bedroom, it is extremely important to take care of
hygiene. A room which is easy to clean and maintain is preferred.
A bedroom, which is too small in area, will have restrictions as far
as experimentations in design are considered. By experimentation
I mean trying different furniture layouts or decorating ideas will
be somewhat restricted.
A good example to study, is to start with bedrooms in large hotel.
All rooms in a hotel come under the category of "guest bedrooms"
The only difference is, we "pay" to stay there, which is not the
case with a bedroom in our home. The architect of the hotel
takes good care of providing natural sunlight and ventilation and
a good view of the surroundings. Thought now a days most hotel
rooms have air conditioners to artificially control the internal
environment, a provision for natural control is a must.
Use of dark colors can be avoided. You can always try to be a little
creative while designing the guest bedroom. The reason here is, the
guest is there at your place probably to have a change in his daily
routine life and if a room in YOUR home gives him such a nice
feeling of "change" then he might visit again the next month.
As mentioned before in most cases the guest bedroom is located
on the ground floor. This can be used creatively to provide an
access to the landscaped backyard or an open patio with informal
seating. The space must have a provision for sliding or
folding door shutters so that can be easily closed if required.
So the entire success of the guest bedroom design project lies
in finding out how the guest feels when he/she lives there. Was she
comfortable there. Did she find things easily. Even small things like
light and fan switches, water taps in bathrooms, wardrobe shutters,
door and window hinges etc.. must be kept in well maintained and
proper working condition for the guest. Small thing add up and can become a reason for uncomfortable environment for the guest. That's
the meaning of the statement
"easy to maintain" which I mentioned
above in this article.
I hope this article was informative to everyone.

The Two Pillars Of A Successful Interior Design Project!
The Two Pillars Of A Successful Interior Design Project!
by: Shrinivas Vaidya
Dear Friends,
Whenever I think of any design, be it interior design or
product design, a few things very naturally come up in my mind. These are in the form of questions.
The best part is, answers to these questions can give rise to a very successful design in itself. Let's see how.
If I am planning to design a piece of furniture, let's say
a double bed, immediate I start relating to what I already know about double beds, some picture/image I have already seen, something I have seen in some furniture shop, etc... Then I start thinking about what material I should think about, the budget, dimensions, age group of people who are going to use it, etc... If you answer these questions one by one on a paper, you will get a blueprint of the design
process, so that you can convert in into technical drawings, with all the joinery...

How to Design a Child Bedroom?
by: Shrinivas Vaidya
Dear friends,
Children at age of 1 1/2 start to walk, talk and express themselves. Their parents are the role models for them.
They learn to perform action which their parent teach them.
Based on these teachings children very quickly learn a
taste about everything in life. This includes, the food
they eat, the kind of toys they play with, the kind of friends they will make etc..
For a growing child it is necessary to explore new things, apart from what his/her mom/dad teaches. A bedroom is a great place to do this. When planned properly, a child bedroom can greatly enhance his/her learning experience.
Children have a curious mind. Even a child which is yet to speak, this curiosity can be easily traced by looking at the broken toys, torn books, etc..
That's why as a bedroom designer creating spaces within the
structural walls, using...
