Definition Functional criteria ---How well the layout support human activities Visual criteria --- concern the perception of the layout as a visual composition

Clearance A = {(1, 0), (0, 1), (0, −1)} B = {(0, 0), (1, 1), (1, −1)} (1, 2), (1, 0), (0, −1), (1, 0), (1, −2)}

Clearance Many furniture items need open space around them

Circulation Circulation --An effective furniture layout must support circulation through the room and access to all of the furniture.

Circulation

Pairwise relationships Human physiology affects how objects should be positioned with respect to each other.

Pairwise relationships

Pairwise relationships

Conversation the seats within a conversation area should be roughly four to eight feet apart

Conversation

Balance The principle is to place the mean of the distribution of visualweight at the center of the composition. The visual weight of an element is its perceptual saliency. A common assumption is that larger objects carry more visual weight.

Balance

Alignment In furniture arrangement, alignment primarily concerns the orientation of the furniture items relative to each other and to the walls of the room.

Alignment

Emphasis It is generally desirable to have a dominant focal point in the interior, so that the eye can rest without suffering competing demands for visual attention.

Emphasis
