I have a: bed, dresser, nightstand, lamp (temporarily because the overhead light is nonfunctional), a closet with no doors, and a cat station (food, water, litter box). Thus, I don't need a big room with lots of stuff in it. From the time I get dressed and leave my room in the morning until the time I go to bed, I rarely ever set foot in my room. The purpose of my room is: sleep, take meds, get dressed, clothes and suitcase storage, and kitty "safe" room. Decide what YOU want the purpose of your room to be. Once you know what the room is supposed to be, it makes it so much easier to design, organize, and decorate it!Ī bedroom can have many purposes: a place to sleep, study, read, watch TV, have intimate relationships, eat, store clothes, a dressing room, nap room, escape from other people in the house, and on and on and on.but the one thing it shouldn't be is an afterthought. When Joy and I help people organize their homes, we make them talk through, then write down, the purpose of each room. So let me ask you this: what is the purpose of your bedroom? I know it sounds obvious, but bear with me. And I wanted Joy to have a nice sized room that's her own space. I chose the smallest room because I work from home and wanted to make the master BR into a library. I just bought a manufactured home fixer upper and my adult daughter and I are still unpacking/sorting/figuring it all out. It also serves to make the space feel wider, much like in the plan shown here.Hi vuvimoic! Welcome to my world! Haha! My bedroom is 10x7.5. It just makes for a more pleasing, harmonious layout that feels more comfortable in the room. In this case, I would prefer the tiles not look so long, instead appearing in more of a brick style (just like when you look at a brick wall, the long sides of the brick are running horizontally, across the wall). So in a kitchen that is 10’ x 20’, for example, I would lay the longer side across the 10’ length. However, when working with our now ever-popular rectangular tiles (12” x 24” is currently a popular size), I like to run the tiles in the exact opposite direction I would a wood floor, regardless of whether it’s laid in a brick pattern, 1/3 offset or stacked.īecause I like for wood floorboards to appear long, and I want them to run the length of the room or in a house (front to back so that it draws you through the house), I like to lay these rectangular tiles in the opposite direction, perpendicular to the length of the room. If you’ve got square tile, or tile to be laid diagonally or in a herringbone or Versailles pattern, the direction isn’t an issue. In many cases, where tile is used in a room, it’s located in the heart of the home or in an isolated space, usually in the kitchen or bathroom. And, really, these are two different materials, so the direction needs to be considered in a different manner. The same general rule that applies to laying wood tile can’t be applied when laying tile. Most people don’t have tile all over their house, from the front door all the way through. Will the same principles used when laying your wood floor apply to how you lay your tile? Now that we’ve gone over the most appropriate direction to lay your wood floor, (and if you have wood look tile you should go to that post too, as really the wood floor direction is a more appropriate answer then) let’s now consider… However, many people have questions about it. You’d think this would be easy, figuring out which direction to lay your rectangular shaped tile floor.
