वास्तू, मग ते घर असो किंवा कार्यालय; ते सुंदर दिसावं यासाठी इंटीरिअर डिझायिनग हा महत्त्वाचा टप्पा आहे. तरीसुद्धा अनेकांच्या मनात इंटीरिअर डिझायिनग का करावं, त्याची गरज काय, कुशल इंटीरिअर डिझायनर का निवडावा याविषयी एक किंतू असतो. तुमच्या वास्तूच्या अंतर्गत सजावटीला एक नियोजनबद्धतेची जोड असावी असं वाटत असेल, तर इंटीरिअर डिझायिनग करून घेणं गरजेचं आहे. नियोजनबद्ध म्हणजे काय तर आपल्या गरजा, आवडीनिवडी, आपली वास्तू मला कशी सजवलेली बघायला आवडेल याविषयीच्या कल्पना इत्यादींची अभ्यासपूर्ण आखणी.
अनेकजण आपल्या मनाप्रमाणे घरात फíनचर, बाजारात आवडलेल्या वस्तूंनी घर सजवतात. पण अशी सजावट आकर्षक, एकसंध दिसत नाही. रंगछटा वेगवेगळ्या होतात. हॉलच्या आकारमानापेक्षा सोफा, इतर फíनचर बोजड दिसतं. हॉलची जागा अशा बोजड वस्तूंनी व्यापली जाते. यामुळे वावरण्यासाठी जागाच मिळत नाही. तीच गोष्ट बेडरूमची! इथे बेड, कपाटं, मुलांचं स्टडी टेबल याची इतकी गर्दी होते की, ही बेडरूम स्टोअरेज रूम दिसायला लागतं. पडद्यांचे रंग, िभतीचे रंग इतके विसंगत होतात की, त्या रूमचा लुकच बदलून जातो. असं होऊ नये यासाठी या शास्त्राचं ज्ञान असलेल्या तज्ज्ञ व्यक्तींच्या मदतीने विचारपूर्वक, अभ्यासपूर्ण आखणी करून अंतर्गत सजावट करावी.
घराच्या संदर्भात विचार केला तर हल्ली अनेक विकासक घरं बांधताना काही सोयीसुविधा देतात. जसे की, मॉड्युलर किचन, वॉर्डरोब, बेड इत्यादी. पण या सर्व गोष्टी देताना तिथे राहणाऱ्या व्यक्तींच्या गरजांचा र्सवकष विचार अंतर्भूत नसतो. एक सरधोपट डिझायिनग ते करून देतात. म्हणूनच असं सेमी फíनश्ड घर घेण्यापेक्षा रॉ फ्लॅट घ्यावा. म्हणजे आपल्याला आपल्या आवडीनुसार, गरजांनुसार मनाप्रमाणे घर सजवता येतं.
इंटीरिअर डिझायिनगमध्ये महत्त्वाचे दोन भाग आहेत. १ रचना , २ सजावट . यातील रचना किंवा प्लॅिनग हा भाग अत्यंत महत्त्वपूर्ण आहे. सजावटीची रचना आखताना खालील गोष्टींचा अभ्यास करावा लागतो.
१. वास्तूचं स्वरूप, म्हणजे घर आहे की कार्यालय, बुटिक, ब्युटी सलोन, क्लिनिक इत्यादी.
२. वास्तूची जागा (एरिया).
३. घर असेल तर त्या घरातील लोकांची संख्या आणि त्यांचा घरातला वावर. घराप्रमाणेच कार्यालयातल्या व्यक्ती, कोणत्या स्वरूपाचं काम तिथे चालणार आहे, अशा गोष्टी विचारात घ्याव्या लागतात.
४. डिझायिनगसाठीचं बजेट हा अत्यंत महत्त्वाचा मुद्दा. कारण यावर इंटीरिअर किती दर्जेदार, टिकाऊ, आकर्षक करता येईल, हे ठरत असतं.
५. ग्राहकाच्या गरजा, त्यांची जीवनशैली, त्यांच्या आवडीनिवडी व त्यांच्या सवयी, व्यवसाय.
६. सजावटीसाठी वापरण्यात येणाऱ्या मटेरिअलचा ताळमेळ.
७. मटेरिअलचे रंग, टेश्चर व प्रकाशयोजना.
सजावटीमध्ये रंगसंगती, पडदे, चादरी, कुशन्स, दरीज, गालिचे, विविध शोभेच्या वस्तू उदा. फ्लॉवर पॉट्स, कलाकुसर, फ्रेम्स यांचा समावेश असतो.
वास्तूमध्ये काम सुरू करताना अनेक गोष्टी बघाव्या लागतात. सिव्हिल वर्क करून घ्यायचे आहे का, कुठे खूपच आवश्यक अशी तोडफोड करावी लागणार आहे का किंवा फक्त कारपेंट्री वर्कच करावं लागणार आहे? काम कसंही असो ते एकाच वेळेस करून घ्यावे. कारण असं केल्यानं कामात एकसूत्रता राहाते. सजावट सौंदर्यपूर्ण व अर्थपूर्ण होऊन पशाची बचतही होते. ही सगळी कामं वेगवेगळ्या व्यक्तींकडून करून घेण्यापेक्षा तज्ज्ञ व्यक्तींमार्फत करून घ्यावी. इंटीरिअर डिझायनर हा क्लायंट आणि कॉन्ट्रॅक्टर्स, वर्कर्स यामधील दुवा असतो. आपलं बजेट, गरजा (रिक्वायरमेंट्स), आपल्या कल्पनेतील वास्तू या सगळ्याविषयी इंटीरिअर डिझायनरशी मोकळेपणाने चर्चा करावी. मुळात कुशल डिझायनरसुद्धा प्रथम तुमच्याकडून याच गोष्टी जाणून घेतो. असं केल्यानं त्याला रचना व सजावट करणं अधिक सोयीचं होतं. तुमच्या वास्तूच्या सजावटीला तो अधिक चांगल्याप्रकारे न्याय देऊ शकतो. डिझायनरबरोबर चच्रेला बसण्याअगोदर घरातल्या व्यक्तींशी तुमची चर्चा होणं आवश्यक आहे. नंतर तुम्ही डिझायनरशी चच्रेला बसावं. घरातल्या व्यक्तींनी आधी आपापसात चर्चा केलेली असल्याने डिझायनरला तुम्ही तुमची मतं, मनातलं वास्तू विषयीचं चित्र, तुमच्या गरजा या सर्व गोष्टी कमी वेळेत ठळकपणे मांडू शकता. ही पायरी झाल्यानंतर बजेटविषयी डिझायनरला पूर्ण कल्पना द्यावी. इथे आणखी एक मुद्दा स्पष्ट करावासा वाटतो की, प्रत्यक्ष काम सुरू केल्यानंतर बजेटच्या बाबतीत कमी-जास्त होत असतं. डिझायनर याची तुम्हाला आधीच कल्पनाही देतो. कामात अनेक अडचणीसुद्धा येत असतात. अशावेळी तिथल्या तिथे निर्णय घ्यावे लागतात. त्या अनुषंगाने रचनेमध्ये बदल होतात. अर्थात याची संबंधितांना पूर्ण कल्पना दिली जाते. या सगळ्याचा विचार करून देखणं इंटीरिअर करून घ्यावं.

Building Attributes
Regardless of their location, size, or budget, all hospitals should have certain common attributes.
Efficiency and Cost-Effectiveness
An efficient hospital layout should:
Promote staff efficiency by minimizing distance of necessary travel between frequently used spaces
Allow easy visual supervision of patients by limited staff
Include all needed spaces, but no redundant ones. This requires careful pre-design programming.
Provide an efficient logistics system, which might include elevators, pneumatic tubes, box conveyors, manual or automated carts, and gravity or pneumatic chutes, for the efficient handling of food and clean supplies and the removal of waste, recyclables, and soiled material
Make efficient use of space by locating support spaces so that they may be shared by adjacent functional areas, and by making prudent use of multi-purpose spaces
Consolidate outpatient functions for more efficient operation—on first floor, if possible—for direct access by outpatients
Group or combine functional areas with similar system requirements
Provide optimal functional adjacencies, such as locating the surgical intensive care unit adjacent to the operating suite. These adjacencies should be based on a detailed functional program which describes the hospital’s intended operations from the standpoint of patients, staff, and supplies.
Flexibility and Expandability
Since medical needs and modes of treatment will continue to change, hospitals should:
Follow modular concepts of space planning and layout
Use generic room sizes and plans as much as possible, rather than highly specific ones
Be served by modular, easily accessed, and easily modified mechanical and electrical systems
Be open-ended, with well planned directions for future expansion; for instance positioning “soft spaces” such as administrative departments, adjacent to “hard spaces” such as clinical laboratories.
Cleanliness and Sanitation
Hospitals must be easy to clean and maintain. This is facilitated by:
Appropriate, durable finishes for each functional space
Careful detailing of such features as doorframes, casework, and finish transitions to avoid dirt-catching and hard-to-clean crevices and joints
Adequate and appropriately located housekeeping spaces
Special materials, finishes, and details for spaces which are to be kept sterile, such as integral cove base. The new antimicrobial surfaces might be considered for appropriate locations
Controlled Circulation
A hospital is a complex system of interrelated functions requiring constant movement of people and goods. Much of this circulation should be controlled.
Outpatients visiting diagnostic and treatment areas should not travel through inpatient functional areas nor encounter severely ill inpatients
Typical outpatient routes should be simple and clearly defined
Visitors should have a simple and direct route to each patient nursing unit without penetrating other functional areas
Separate patients and visitors from industrial/logistical areas or floors
Outflow of trash, recyclables, and soiled materials should be separated from movement of food and clean supplies, and both should be separated from routes of patients and visitors
Transfer of cadavers to and from the morgue should be out of the sight of patients and visitors
Dedicated service elevators for deliveries, food and building maintenance services
Aesthetics
Aesthetics is closely related to creating a therapeutic environment (homelike, attractive.) It is important in enhancing the hospital’s public image and is thus an important marketing tool. A better environment also contributes to better staff morale and patient care. Aesthetic considerations include:
Increased use of natural light, natural materials, and textures
Use of artwork
Attention to proportions, color, scale, and detail
Bright, open, generously-scaled public spaces
Homelike and intimate scale in patient rooms, day rooms, consultation rooms, and offices
Compatibility of exterior design with its physical surroundings
Security and Safety
In addition to the general safety concerns of all buildings, hospitals have several particular security concerns:
Plywood
| Raw Material |
|
Plywood board is made by glueing the thin sheets of wood layers at high pressure. It is easily availbale in the local market has very good strength. It is very widely used in making furniture and for other purposes. There are three styles of plywood available as follows:
|
| Style/Finishing |
| Plywood is used in both for home as well as for commercial purpose and it is less expensive and flexible. This can be used for home décor, paneling, roofing, lining, flooring, and furniture. The plywood does not have grains so it is finished with paint. In case you wish wood grain finish and polish style then you would need to put veneers or teak ply on it |
| Maintenance |
|
Plywood due to its structure is inherently more resistant to termite, moisture but if you finish it with veneer and polish then the same can be damaged by moisture.
|
| Advantages |
|
| Disadvantages |
| Buy plywood from a good vendor otherwise lower quality plywood may peel into layers after extensive use |
Sunmica Finishes
| Raw Material |
| Sunmica is another name for decorative laminates and it is primarily used as a surface finish pasted on top of another wooden or board members. . |
| Implementation Raw Material |
| To implement a sunmica or decorative laminate based design in your home, you work with the designer to get the drawing of the furniture item and purchase the required block boards or MDF/HDF or similar wooden members. The sunmica or decorative laminates are then pasted on top of the wood member. You do not need to polish the sunmica based furniture. |
| Maintenance |
|
Sunmica based furniture requires less maintenance compared to veneer based furniture.
|
| Color; Design |
|
| Advantages |
|
| Disadvantages |
|
| IS Designation |
|
Sun mica finishes/ decorative laminates should be according IS 2046-1995
|
| Uses |
|
| Size Availability |
|
Sun mica finishes/ decorative laminates are available in size of 2.44mx 1.22 meter.
|
| Installation/ fixing |
| The Sun mica / laminates are fixed on the supporting base of ply wood, block board, particle board etc by adhesives. The supporting base should be sanded and free from dust, wax, grease etc. After applying proper adhesive the sheet of laminate is spread and hand rolled from centre to edge and remove all air bubbles. To ensure adequate bond, sufficient pressure should be applied over the entire area of assembly. |
| Thickness |
|
| Finishing |
| Decorative laminates come pre-finished and do not require any additional finishing. |
| Durability |
|
The laminates are durable and are used as surface materials and improve their resistance to wear, scratching and domestic stain etc.

Decorative Veneer
| Raw Material |
| Decorative Veneer is a thin covering of slices of wood that are typically pasted on top of another wooden member. The beauty of the wooden furniture or wood-work comes from the rich grains of wood. This makes the wood with rich grain expensive. The technology of Veneers prepares thin slices of wood so that the grains of the wood are obtained. These slices are then pasted on top of less expensive wood blocks which are available in abundance hence achieving the desired finish at low cost.. To make Veneer, wooden logs of specified species of valuable timbers or rich grain timber in length varying from 2100- 2400 mm are peeled in to thin veneers either by rotary cutters or veneer slicing machines. |
| Implementation Raw Material |
| To implement a veneer based design in your home, you work with the designer to get the drawing of the furniture item and purchase the required block boards or MDF/HDF or similar wooden members. The veneer is then pasted on top of the wood member. After the veneer based furniture is completed, it is polished to give a desired shine. |
| Maintenance |
|
Maintenance of Veneer based furniture is essentially dependent on the type of polish done on the furniture.
|
| Color; Design |
|
| Advantages |
|
| Disadvantages |
|
| IS Designation |
| Veneered decorative ply wood should be according IS; 1328-1996. |
| Uses |
|
| Size Availability |
| The general sizes available are 3’x 6’and 4’x 8’. The maximum size available is 4’x 8’. |
| Installation/ fixing |
| Decorative veneer is fixed in the manufacturing unit. Decorative veneers that require to be joined to form a ply shall be edge jointed before assembly. |
| Thickness |
| The thickness of Decorative veneers are less than 3mm. |
| Finishing |
| Decorative veneers are finished by doing polishing on the surface.
