FAH Co., Ltd. Hiroki Sueyoshi's serial blog 19
19th time.
Starting now, I'm going to change the style of my blog and write using photos and text.
[Capture the space.]
Along with a photo of a pre-built and model home.
We were asked to coordinate the interior of a very simple and stylish home.
"It's stylish, but not too quirky. The main focus is the home."
We take this into consideration when coordinating our model homes every time.
At the same time, it is the coordination concept of our company.
"Capture the space."
Since this is my first blog post with photos, I thought I'd write about that.
First of all, what does it mean to "capture space"?
It's a given, but...
The size of the space.
The color of space.
The purpose of the space.
I believe that as long as you don't make these three obvious mistakes, you won't make any major mistakes.
Size of the space
First, the size.
This is really basic.
But many people fail.
First of all, "fitting into a space" and "fitting into a space" are completely different things.
Here's a question.
Q: Do you know how many centimeters of wire is needed for an average home?
If you don't know this, you'll probably just have to guess at the size.
It's a big house so you don't have to worry about that.
Certainly, if the space is large, it won't be too big to fit in.
However, in many cases, the size is too small for large spaces.
"Just right" does not mean being too big, but also too small.
This is the answer to Q.
In an average household, it is 60-70 centimeters.
In large spaces, 100-120 cm.
*However, in large spaces, it depends on the overall balance.
Is it something like this?
In addition to the pathway, there is space to pull out chairs. It's not an aisle, but it's wide enough for people to pass through.
First of all, the route to get it into the space.
In fact, the size of the furniture is determined by the size of the space (house).
I want a big sofa.
But there is a set "just right size."
Color of Space
Next, the color of the space.
The space has colours used.
Some spaces are pure white, while others are colorful.
Colour has the power to determine the impression of a space.
I think it's no exaggeration to say that color creates a space.
I think it's very important that the color of the space matches the color of the objects that go inside it.
The important thing to remember here is that the furniture you like and the furniture that matches the image of the space may be different.
A cool sofa on its own = fits in the room
This is not necessarily the case.
Many people are not used to buying furniture.
At first, you may be thinking about the whole room, but before you know it, you'll be thinking about whether you like or dislike the sofa in front of you.
I think it takes a certain amount of experience to be able to look at things from a bird's eye view when choosing something.
When you live alone, feeling alone = feeling of unity
This is usually not a problem, but it is more likely to happen when buying with a couple or family.
My wife is in the dining room.
My husband is in the living room.
When drawing lines like these, be careful not to forget to create a sense of unity in the room.
If your main goal is to choose something you both like, then I think that's OK.
This is only when you want to create a sense of unity throughout the space.
If you want to create a unified space, don't forget to use a common color (atmosphere).
Purpose of the space
Finally, the purpose of the space.
This is a very simple matter, but don't forget how you spend your time in this space.
If you want to lie down on a sofa, then this is the sofa for you.
If you want to enjoy a leisurely cup of tea at the dining table, choose a comfortable chair.
As you can see, purpose and furniture are linked.
When choosing an item, I would like you to imagine yourself using it in that space.
Unlike clothes, furniture is something you see and use every day.
To avoid failure,
The size of the space.
The color of space.
The purpose of the space.
I hope you will keep these three things in the back of your mind.

Representative Director of FAH Co., Ltd.
Born in Hiroshima in 1985, raised in Kyoto, and lived in Canada for one year.
At the age of 20, she entered an interior design shop and was so impressed that she decided to work in the interior design industry. From the age of 23 to 35, she worked at an interior design shop in Hiroshima. She strives to be a "chameleon coordinator" who can materialize the client's ideal lifestyle and interior design, rather than catering to her own preferences.
FAH Co., Ltd. was established in 2020.
I am constantly challenging myself to make interior design fun, whether it be for private homes, model homes and rooms, or commercial (hotels, restaurants, etc.) product development.
