Whenever you’re looking forward to decorate your abode, always start with space planning. Space planning is that skill which most often than not distinguishes a good interior designer from a mere decorator. Before buying the furniture – which should actually be the last step – you should measure every span between the walls. Every window movement should be recorded in order to avoid the interference between the moving doors/windows with the upcoming furniture.

It is also wise to measure every room twice. Note the ceiling heights and the wall heights, the circumference of the hinged windows and doors. Space planning is the first and foremost step towards interior designing. So, drawing a scale becomes very essential as the furniture you’ve purchased or are about to purchase should neither be small nor be big. It must fit the room precisely and this will help evoke the real beauty which is your primary concern.
