dresser, and other small pieces of furniture. A
large bedroom has over 175 square feet of floor
space, Figure 7-8. A room of this size provides
space for additional furniture. A desk, chair, or
television set may be included as bedroom
furniture. The largest bedroom is usually
considered to be the master bedroom. It may
have its own private bath.

furniture size and arrangement. First, deter-
mine common furniture sizes, Figure 7-9.
Then, design the bedroom with a specific
arrangement in mind. Figure 7-10 shows using
CADD to plan a bedroom based on a specific
furniture arrangement. The steps are simple:

(2) Draw or insert an appropriate symbol to
