Interior Design
>> Well-designed open-concept living spaces are a delight
to occupy. They offer flexibility of use and an airy, open feeling
that fits a lifestyle that is a little less formal and a little more un-
derstated.
Kim Schroeder, principle interior designer
at Charisma, the Design experience says
whether the space is large or small, it must
be appealing, comfortable and functional.
and the keys to those three concepts are
flow and proportion. your space must sensi-
bly accommodate everything it is meant to do.
Schroeder says the right questions will guide you when map-
ping out a floor plan with flow, regardless of the size. every as-
pect of use needs to be covered.
