The Concept of Positive and Negative Spaces in Interior DesignWhile talking about positive and negative spaces it is important to first understand the term "space" in itself.
In interior design any volume which is being contained within masonry walls and are habitable is normally termed as space.
The volume that gets enclosed in an architectural structure is just a tiny fraction of the vast amount of "universal space".
By universal space I mean the cosmos or the gigantic vastness in which our planet and all other planets, starts etc.. survive.
The volume, which gets contained in a building, varies according to the use of the building.
A cinema theatre and a bedroom will surely have different purposes and hence volume.
Volume gets defined by three factors, length, breadth and height of the habitable room.
A typical bedroom will have certain architectural elements attached to it at the time of construction of the building and certain "imposed" later for the sake of proper function.
Also it is important to note that no one builds bedrooms in isolation.
A bedroom is always a part of the entire home plan.
The architectural elements already present in a bedroom would be attached toilet and its entrance door, attached terrace or backyard entry, attached study room.
