Each space will have a different set of elements or characteristics that create that space. A kitchen will have a different set of values or needs or characteristics than a bedroom. A bathroom will have a different set of values or needs, or characteristics than a family room. And so on for all the spaces. The space, room, and area elements are separated into three groups: enclosure, functional areas, and decorating decor. The ENCLOSURE is the basic structural items or outside perimeter of the space. The FUNCTIONAL AREAS are where the activity occurs: cooking, cleaning, food preparation, sleeping, bathing, seating, and so on.
