THE "MAKE IT FIT" SERIES 3: PROPER PORTION

 

THE "MAKE IT FIT" SERIES 3: 

PROPER PORTION!!


Hello folks,

Trust you are doing great and having an awesome weekend. I assume the love from valentine's day πŸ’ž is still in the air 😍

Still on The "MAKE IT FIT" series, and with the same intention to share insights on how to make things fit within your space, I hope to help you identify and understand basic principles that come to play when making things fit within your spaces.

The first principle, which is Form/Shape was addressed in my last post and you can follow through using this link πŸ‘‡

Taking it further, I will be addressing another principle known as PROPORTION, and to simplify this principle I thought to use a blend of two words "PROPER" and "PORTION", hoping my ingenuity will go a long way to help my audience grasp the role of proportion in making the best of spaces.

And here is what I mean πŸ‘‡


#1:

PROPER 


It's question and answer time, so let me ask


Is a bed proper for a bedroom?


Is a sofa proper for a living room?


The answers are obvious right, and that's because the general functions of these spaces are very clear and direct.

But on the flip side, if I ask,

Is your bed proper for my bedroom?, then chances are high you will respond with a question. 

This therefore validates the fact that the first hurdle you would have to cross when applying the principle of proportion in your space is the hurdle of PROPRIETY, that is what's proper and most suitable for your space based on the peculiarities of the same.

And how well you identify what is proper for your space will determine how well you maximize the concept of proportions to your advantage.


# 2: 

PORTION 

Let's just assume you now have an handle of what is proper for your space, there is still one more hurdle to cross, and that's knowing how much of what's proper.

For instance the idea of two beds in a bedroom for two kids is valid, however the size of the bedroom should inform the choice between a twin bed (which is more ideal for a spacious bedroom) or a bunk bed that's just suitable where there is challenge with space.

Getting portions right is a key factor to bringing the best out of your space, and allow me say that it helps you achieve so much result with relatively little input.


#3: 

PROPORTION 

The merger of proper with portion therefore simplifies the concept of proportion and I hope you find it helpful.

So in summary, it's important you always remember:

- Proper is largely a function of the purpose your space is serving


- Portion is the measure to which proper remains proper 😊


- And lastly, in case it gets all twisted in the process of trying, you are never alone on this, just click

It's perfectly okay to ask for help!!!

In my next post, I will be addressing the concept of BALANCE and how it applies to your space.

Please ensure you follow through.

  THE "GET IT RIGHT"  (G.I.R)  SERIES 2: PRONOUNCE IT  RIGHT!!! Hi folks, Trust you are doing great and I guess September is coming on well. It's back to school and I'm pleased to have my esteemed audience in class ☺️ I introduced a new series in my last post, highlighting a course outline that will help the Consult Kenny audience and subscribers brush up their interior design prowess. G.I.R 101 was first in line and the objective of this course is to help you with the right pronunciation of interior design terms. Just as it is with every other profession, there are terminologies peculiar to interior design. While you may be familiar with some, there are others you need guidance with, especially terms that originate from other languages like French, Chinese, Latin, Italian and others. Here are a few examples of such terms, their pronunciation and meanings πŸ‘‡ #1:  FRENCH Γ‰TAGÈRE πŸ—£️/ etaΚ’Ι›r / A freestanding or hanging set of open shelves, designed to display trin...

THE "1ST IMPRESSIONS" SERIES: POINTS OF ENTRY

THE  "FIRST  IMPRESSIONS"  SERIES: POINTS OF  ENTRY Hi peeps, Trust you are doing great and I guess you are getting down on your goals for the year. As I take up the series for the month, I sympathize with victims of the California wildfires, I pray that peace abounds within your walls πŸ™ Now to the subject of the day; First Impressions I'm quite confident the concept of first Impression is not alien to my ever intelligent audience and at some points you have all impressed and have been impressed in some ways. If I may ask, at what points do impressions happen? Of course multiple answers will suffice and they can all be correct, however one answer we would all agree with is "POINTS OF ENTRY" Ask well travelled executives or diplomats and they would reveal that points of entry like airports, hotel reception etc goes a long way in helping them predict the potential outcomes of their endeavors in an environment. So how do you maximize points of entry to create a go...

  THE "ABOUT THIS TIME"  SERIES 2: THE SEASONS YOU KNEW  NOTHING  ABOUT! !! Hi there, Trust you are doing great and making the best of this summer. As for me, I'm trying my best to connect with my audience beyond the scope of my job as an interior designer and project manager by referencing cycles of seasons that spans 2 decades of my life, ranging from year 2004 to 2024. Hence, The "About This Time" Series  Going by my age, the seasons of my life you knew nothing about would likely exceed 3 decades (if you are not a relative, a friend or a colleague), but then I should ask myself; at what points did I become conscious enough to identify seasons of my life and their peculiarities? Looking in hindsight, the answer would be at points where I was plagued with BOREDOM, and here is what I mean πŸ‘‡   #2004: FROM  BOREDOM TO EXPOSURE  About This Time 20 years ago πŸ’­πŸ€” Photo: Ayodeji (left) | Yours sincerely (right) πŸ™ˆ Location: College of Technology, Yaba...
