Residential interior design is the art of creating aesthetic and functional living spaces. ... Designers work with architects to ensure that physical features allow for the appropriate division of private versus public space and can also aesthetically divide or unify rooms through colors, textures, and patterns. A Guide To Planning Spaces is the industry-standard reference for all aspects of residential space planning, with a practical focus on accessible design, ergonomics, and how building systems affect each space. Packed with hundreds of drawings and photographs, this book illustrates a step-by-step approach to design that applies to any residential space, and ensures that the most important factors are weighted heavily in the decision making process.
