Just like any other discipline, interior design, too, comes with its own set of rules. But, of course, the pros don’t stick to every single one religiously as the design process comes to many of them almost instinctively – however, one that most interior designers swear by are the 3 Fs of interior design, even if the designers might not necessarily refer to it as such.
The 3 Fs stand for function, flow and feel – these are the elements of a room that need to be considered and figured out at the start of any designing, arranging and decorating of the said room. And while I hadn’t heard of this rule before the start of this year, it’s one that I’ll be sure to remember as it’s one of the most useful design tools I’ve come across ever since the likes of the 4-inch seating rule and the 18-inch rug rule, both of which I now swear by.
