After light, size (mass) is the second most important element of design.

If you think that size doesn’t matter, go into a room with just one mosquito.

There are two design aspects of size that matter: aesthetics and function.

Are the sizes used the best for the function and fit of the activities and people that will be using the spaces and furnishings?

Is the relationship between the heights of the chair and table the most comfortable for eating?

There are not the choices available for mass-produced homes and furnishings as there are for the clothes we wear.

Windows, doors, fixtures, appliances, building materials, et cetera are standard sizes.

How tall is the ceiling? How wide is the doorway? What are the sizes and shapes for the windows?

Proportions, the sizes of the parts in relation to the whole, are the aesthetic aspect of design.

The proportions of most mass-produced residences, based on classics that have developed during the history of civilizations, are adjusted for financial, material, and construction aspects in our current environment.

There are times, usually rare, when these principles are not followed to manifest a unique aesthetic result.

The deciding factor for both aspects of size is whether it is functional and feels comfortable aesthetically where used?

As you go through the daily movements of your existence, are you aware of the results affected by sizes in the comfort and pleasantness of where you live and have your being?

Food for thought.
