Lesson 01: Introduction To Furniture And Furnishing
Importance Of Furniture
For Storage: A common architectural fault found in the modern houses is inadequate storage space. Built-in drawers, cupboards, and closets are expensive and so are often reduced to a minimum. Without adequate storage it is almost impossible to be orderly and this disorder makes it very difficult to do the cleaning. Family tensions and frictions are an inevitable result when one has no time to hunt for equipment that has no established storage place. In consequence, people you will find that furniture with good storage features is important to for comfort living and happiness.
As a Space dividers: Personal privacy becomes difficult to attain as contemporary architecture wins the economy-minded builder’s approval. Open-style construction will often make it necessary for the entire family to share in the use of the living areas for many varied functions. Screens, bookcases, and high cabinets will help solve such problems. For example, screens can be hinged together and anchored to the floor to divide a single large bedroom into two small ones. They can be attached to a bookcase, hutch, or breakfront to divide the dining area form the living area or to divide a living area from a study area so that both can be used simultaneously, with privacy.
For enhancement in personality: Built-in light fixtures are frequently inadequate or poorly placed, yet well-placed light is essential. Extra lamps for halls and stairways will add safety and beauty. To many people, reading in bed is one of the important comforts of life. A portable wall lamp that cab be installed at the head of a bed will mean solid, homelike comfort in each successive bedroom. Built-in bookcases may be hard to find. Wall shelves that can be hung over a desk or portable bookshelves placed within arm’s reach will provide convenient book storage.
