hello and welcome to this week's um Junior cycle home economics and live on exam average and YouTube channel where we'll be looking at designing the home and Associated exam questions with Amy Cohn follow us on social media we're on Twitter insta Tick Tock Facebook and of course our YouTube channel where we have a variety of videos from Junior to leave insert and across all subjects which are released on a weekly basis and check out the YouTube and to see what is already available so today's plan we're going to look at designing the home part one designing the home part two and exam questions this is a topic which only came up as part of a tiny little short question this year and has come up in sample papers again we can't predict anything and but it is a topic that some students can find hard but it's quite a nice topic and um you know includes elements of interior design so designing the home one our learning intentions include distinguishing between the home and shelter discussing shelter is a basic need identifying how a home makes an individual's basic needs discussing different types of Housing and shelter explaining how to choose a home defining design listing characteristics of a good design and describing features of design the fact that there is currently a housing shortage could mean that you know this is more topical area then previous years and but nothing can be guaranteed so first of all what do you know about home design or interior design write it down first is what I always get my students to do do it in one color and then come back at the end of the chapter in another color and you'll be able to visualize how much you've learned it's also very good study technique or Vision technique so home versus shelter you need to be able to distinguish or tell the difference between a home and a shelter so a home is basically comprises of people and their possessions which occupy it and it makes it warm and comfortable you feel protected and secure whereas a shelter protects you from the weather so the rain the wind and the Sun a house provides shelter so homes who you live with what's all around it whereas the sheltered you know keeps you warm and dry functions are purpose or job of a home so physical needs emotional needs educational needs social needs so it provides for all of these different needs now you should be able to state for example physical and then elaborate on it so for example physical needs it keeps you warm okay keeps you dry and gives you somewhere to stay that you are safe okay and emotional needs so for example you know all your stuff are around this you're nice comfortable bed and sofas and your gaming chair educational needs gives you somewhere to study to use your laptop to watch exam revision videos social needs allows you to you know chat away to your friends to parents have people over so types of housing there are varieties so we have apartments and flats so basically apartment and flat you know it's the same thing it again is one of those things that tomato tomato it depends on where you're from okay you won't get dark marks for if you say apartment or Flash it's a home within a larger building which has many floors and it's called the black flats or an apartment building so you should be able to name all these and explain them most people should be able to do it pretty easily number one is particularly easy a studio is a small very you know a very small one room flat it's you know usually associated for students and artists and people are living by themselves a penthouse is right up the top of the apartment complex and the car apartment pump complex is just quite tall quite luxurious it will be the most expensive place um in the apartment to buy Terrace House you know or common in cities a house which is joined to other houses on two sides or a house which is a part of a line of houses whereas a semi-d or a semi-detached is a house which is joined to one house but only on one side a detached house um it's a house that is freestanding which means it doesn't have any houses connected to it on the left or the right a cottage is a small little house and in the countryside a bungalow is a small house with no stairs and it wouldn't have anyone on the left or the right connected to it and a palace is you know for very rich people and so for example like the king in England and how to choose a home there are certain ways that you can choose a home so for example cost is a big factor at the moment uh the price of apartments and houses is extravagant location so do you want to be near to home do you want to be near to um where you work do you want your kids to be you know near to you know family members to good schools availability so what is actually available so at the moment there's not much to choose from in Ireland and so I see you want one bed or do you want a three bed are you thinking of future needs like style what type do you like do you prefer Bungalow or do you prefer an apartment Energy Efficiency so there's the Burr racing certificate which you will learn more about in our sustainable uh videos which were uploaded um a while back onto YouTube you can also see it on the exam revision website so for example an A2 would be really good whereas a g means that you want to be wasting a lot of electricity to heat up the house special needs for example if you have a grandparent living with you and will they be able to get up and down the stairs or will they for example need a bedroom downstairs with a rec room so it's just stuff like that and even thinking of you know later on in life you never know what's going to happen and all houses have to have like and doors are big enough for wheelchairs fitting because you never know when or if someone's going to need one so the housing crisis in Ireland at the moment it's really bad so there's lots of people being affected okay there's a lack of housing there isn't enough houses being made it's in the media all the time which makes this extremely topical okay it's causing more and more people in Ireland to become homeless due to Poverty rent has gone up extortionate national disasters so there's certain places in Ireland that keep getting flooded out of it insurance won't cover or even like the mica to Mica and cement and the way it's degrading the cement and the Houser basically just crumbling away addiction so copies you to gambling or drugs or alcohol Rising housing costs so the houses are so super expensive lack of housing in their area so you could actually have saved up but there's just nothing in your area which is you know a very common thing so you need to know the difference between a community and immunity so a community is the people who live in a locality or area services our organizations are a group that do something for us these are provided by the state which means they're statutory they're also voluntary groups which do they're provided by people who are not getting paid to do it just you know to do it to the goodness of Their Own Heart an immunity is a place of facility and our communities where we can spend our share time okay so it can be public or privately owned which means that it's owned by company and so for example an immunity could be like um a swimming pool there are statutory Services voluntary services and amenities so your statutory services in the community would be for example education like schools colleges and Health social welfare and your public libraries your voluntary services in the community will be like you know Saint Vincent De Paul youth club sports club and particular like freuda and amenities you'd have like Parks swimming pools Cinemas and sports Fields okay you need to be able to know the difference between all of these so stage explain and then your example part would be here so you need to know an example for each so design and a design basically is a plan or sketch for the production of making something so it could be a house or you know in CBA 2 or sorry CBA one it could be like to know your plan of how say if you're making a cushion what are the what's it going to look like what are the dimensions how many centimeters is the wharf of the and the weapon all that so if you're looking at design here of the home you might have seen these before and so an architect designs these they draw them up and basically it gives the builder then an idea of do you know where everything is and so that everything is exact so this would be the design okay is made up of lines and shapes which form a pattern and you can see there and it's all you know very very intricate and very very detailed so characteristics of a good design so these are features of a good design so they should be functional so functional I.E and everything should work um you know you want to have space if you have a kitchen you want to make sure that everything is location in the right place so that you have enough space for everything it should be safe so if you know you're designing a home from scratch you might not want a veranda in the kids room okay and durable you want to make sure that all the materials and everything you use in the house are going to last so for example the mica crisis at the moment and making sure the materials you're using are durable attractive you want something to be you know functional safe drivable but attractive so that on the outside it looks nice as well environmentally friendly so for example you might use more and sustainably sourced woods and less concrete and cement because that uses a lot of carbon dioxide in the production and and that's just characteristics of a good Design Within design we have two key areas so we have features which are also known as elements of design we have principles of design as well within our features or elements of design we have five key areas and they are function color form which includes shape and line texture and pattern in our design uh the principles of design there's a second area with six key areas so we balance proportion emphasis Rhythm Symmetry and repetition and you would have to learn this off by heart and emphasis they come up as part of a short question this year for the 2022 exam and it will be an area that students would kind of struggle to it can be sometimes particularly hard to relate to and asked to know your age and but you know once you come up with examples and realize that it does is actually relevant to you and makes it a lot more interesting to learn so I learned this this slide off by heart so you'll be able to State and then explain and give examples of each so we're going to look at features of design first so we're going to look at function color form including shape and line texture and pattern So within color we're stating the word color and then we're explaining and giving an example so for example the color affects the emotions of the occupant in the room so greatly influences the atmosphere in a room so if you go into a room and it's painted black compared to a room that's painted and maybe white do you know it's going to be a different atmosphere in that room primary colors include red yellow and blue so this is stuff you'll learn in primary school and if you do Irish as well uh secondary colors include orange purple and green so these are colors that result from mixing your primary colors tertiary colors is when you mix the primary a secondary color and you're mixing blue and green and it gives for example turquoise now you don't need to know all these primary second and tertiary off by heart just be able to explain how color affects room so it affects the atmosphere give an example of say your black versus white walls think back to your own houses or you know a house you've ever been in so categorizing color so we have warm colors which give a cozy effect including your Reds oranges and pinks these are best suited in small amounts as two matches just a bit overwhelming or else you're gonna go towards the inside of the color wheel there and you want lighter colors and cool colors are you know relaxing fresh atmosphere so do you know like um your blues and greens but like light colors your neutral colors so these use a shade of both black and white they're used as a background for more colorful elements of the room your pastels are soft gentle shades of blue green yellow and pink again they're like towards the inner circle of the color wheel they're using nurseries and bedrooms and easy to look at under soothing pastel is you know something that's coming out more you'll see it more on clothes and pennies as well our second area then is texture so if you look at this picture the first thing you're drawn to is to know the textures in the room so you see the circle Timber things if I was in that room now if we go straight over to touch it okay because it draws me into it so it refers to the touch or the feel of an object the object will be smooth warm silky rough okay and it could you know comply with the function of the room for example do you know a smooth surface of a ceramic tile in the kitchen is hygienic so you wouldn't have those round circular and Timber things in a kitchen because you get splashbacks you know every stuff we Splash and open it it's also you know it catches a lot of dust and everything so it is more cleaning but you know it is quite cool to go over or even when we're talking about texture if you had like say fluffy cushions on the sofa you were going over and touching and feeling it so it make you know it draws you to it so to do with the senses when we come to texture and line if you look at the pictures there you can see there are not lots of different lines and how do you know what kind of makes the room look um longer so lines usually create an optical illusion by changing the way something appears if you have a really small room you might put lines and so you're dying diagonal makes it look kind of more dramatic so you see the black and white there on the top right picture it suggests movement as well see the way there are a black and white carpet there and it's kind of like zigzag it looks like it's moving horizontal makes things look wider curved as a gentle and relaxing and vertical makes things look and appear taller so this would be something that also applies to um when people are making clothes they think about these things as well so your shape if you look at the shape of the room the top right one is you know uh kind of like a rectangle at the bottom right one is circular so you see how that affects the shape of the room and you want to have your specialized um furniture made as well so shape refers to the outline of an object the usual ones are diagonal horizontal curved and vertical so shape if you have your diagonals you see there on the top right and it's kind of dramatic and I suggests movement if you stare at that too long you're going to see double and horizontal it makes things look wider the same you know the same principles apply when making clothes curved kind of adds a gentle and relaxed feeling so if we go back here and you look at this over there it kind of looks you know relaxing the colors add to it suggest that you're going to sit down talk to someone or else you're going to look out on the nice view your vertical makes things look taller and that's why you know and they would do it in like garments as well and to make people look slightly taller as well so you know it works both ways for designing a home and for designing clothes so your passion and just like most things too much of a good thing is not really you know is not good so if you look at the top right picture there there's loads and those patterns it could you know stimulate sensory overload because there's just too much local at once whereas the one down the bottom is a bit more discreet done so you'll see that there's two couches or you know armchairs and they're striped as opposed to the couch which is white and it just creates a pattern but it's not you know overloading there's another one there you can have a pattern there um on like you know furniture or cushions a little bit is fine too much you know never is very good so it adds variety and contrast makes things stand out should be used carefully in a room design so that is easy to look at overuse makes the room look smaller and cluttered no Patcher will should appear boring if it's boring it shouldn't be used so so far we've looked at designing the home part one and now we're going to look at design in the home part two so design in the home and part two learning intentions include explaining the principles of design outlining factors to consider when planning a room knowing what a floor plan is constructing a floor plan for a room in the home so for example a bedroom and a kitchen discuss the work sequence a work triangle when planning a kitchen so again referring back to this design is categorized into features or elements of design and then principles of design so we've looked at the features or elements of design so we looked at function color form which includes shape and line texture and pattern so at this stage we're able to State explain and give an example for all five of those features or elements of design next up we're going to look at the principles of design so we're going to look at balance proportion emphasis Rhythm Symmetry and repetition and this would be a slide that I'd be learning off by harsh and because that if you know the slides you'll be able to explain drill the whole PowerPoint essentially so principles of design when you're designing a project there are certain rules okay sometimes rules are needed because if you don't follow the chaos can you know result so in the case of principal design your rules include balance proportion emphasis and Rhythm now there are more and there's symmetry and there's also repetition so balance first thing I like to teach this topic using videos because it just makes it easier to relate so if you think of balance you think even of your own room at home if you look at this the balance is this room balance so is there anything that looks you know too much in the room it does everything blend in properly does it all complement each other so it occurs when all the parts of the design work well together okay so it means that the colors patterns and textures used in the room are in harmony with each other so if you look at the cushions they're like pale blue they match in nicely with the slightly darker blue and ultimately call it curtains and the wall and there isn't any crazy kind of colors there is a brown and white um fluffy kind of like blanket over it which kind of adds a little bit of contrast to it but it still kind of balances out because you can see the brown in the three picture frames behind you and there's like a plant pot so it does all kind of blend in together so I would say this is a perfectly balanced room but you know an unbalanced room would be like say if there was I don't know like red cushions in there it just it just wouldn't work and it would be you know a bit of an eyesore to the eyes and it wouldn't look good at all okay so balance your staging you're explaining and you're given a nice little example so well balanced room is much more attractive okay especially in bedrooms and hotels so emphasis if you look at this picture the first thing your eye is drawn through is like it like brings you straight bam smack into the middle of the picture and it is that picture that is in okay so like the painted picture there so it involves drawing attention to a particular feature in a room so in general like in interior design it shows they often have one wall which is painted in a different color or a stronger color and it draws your attention or it could be something like you know like um a picture over a fireplace or a mirror and or copy a different colored sofa in the room just to make Joe a pop of color to make it stand out can be done using Color lighting pattern or shape so in this room also if you look up to the top you'll see the floor and lights and they're quite unusual so they do stand out also achieve true color because you have your picture and which is painted which is different colors from the restroom stands out but doesn't you know doesn't look shocking and doesn't look like really bad in the room it kind of complements it it has passion so because it's painted if you were all you know close to it you'd see all you know the paint brush strokes and the shape of the room and they kind of have like looks like the shape of a fireplace chimney but it's not the wash and it draws you to it so this would be good use of emphasis it has interest and gives a room a focal point you could also say if you had shape like for example this picture back here and with the curved room gosh adds emphasis there because you're drawn into the curve of the room a lot more than you would be up here in this room and so just kind of stands out and because it's unusual but it actually suits the room [Music] so emphasis is all you know about creating something that's slightly unusual and stands out in the room and so it gives it a focal point so that'd be like your key point there is that it's a focal point in the 2022 exam this was part of short question question eight it was worth a total of eight marks in general most people would have achieved between two and four out of eight marks it was an easy enough one to get the marks for but most people didn't go into enough detail so first of all this is question eight it says explain how the design principle of emphasis is achieved in the room pictured above so key points there would be explain underlying that means it is a long question so it's going to need a lot of details to explain and give an example I know it's talking about design principle of emphasis so I'm going to you know Circle or emphasize the word emphasis and then achieved in the picture so I know it has to be relating to that picture above and not Joe I can't give a random example so if I look at the picture there there's a couple of things like it's a plain colored room there are two like little um arm chairs that have a pop of color the vertical lines pink and white to the right of that there is a sofa with like black and white and kind of geometric shape which pops out there's a TV above the fireplace there are lights on either side to make the TV stand out and the white sofa kind of just Blends in with the wall there is a shiny kind of poofy thing for your face there's a table that's brown so there's a couple of different things that stand out there and so in this case I've talked about how the pink and white striped chairs they're just the thing that stands out to me the most they immediately draw my attention as they stand out against the plain white colors in the room okay which achieves emphasis so you have to say that you have to you know give your how do you know your example then you also have to relate it back to the question again and see how it answers anything that emphasis just stands out okay so it provides a focal point for the room this came open this year's exam and it was part of a short question so you never know if you know designing the whole come up this year or as part of the long question and there's no no guarantees in this type of thing but [Applause] um it has come up in a sample paper as well so proportion so if you look at that picture there what I see is a very big brown table in a smallish room I have a huge big chandelier there and I have what looks like statue of do you know a sailor or something I have books I have these quite unusual quirky chairs that are white when I see those chairs in those table I'm thinking that's out of proportion it does not fit the room the table just looks completely out of character there especially like when you look up at the chandelier and just to me it makes no sense so when the pieces of the furniture in the room relate to one another in size okay so when one thing for example is far too big for the room so if you've ever been in a house and they've had a like a sofa and it's just huge and it takes or swallows over like the whole um of the front room or else like in a bedroom and someone has like a double bed in a room and they should have a single bed because it's taken up so much space then it's out of proportion if they had a smaller table it would be in proportion so Furniture should also suit the size of the room okay so I said there single bed in a small room double bed in a bigger room otherwise it's just it's just not gonna work and it just visually it doesn't look nice at all not one single bit so next up we have rhythm again looking straight at the picture there and what we have here and is a room in a hallway we have um what looks like stairs in the background we have two mirrors which is which are slightly unusual and there's two sets of tables but they kind of work well there's a white sofa completely white sofa but there are some cushions so there's cushions there that are green and white and there's part of a little iron chair of another sofa that's the same pattern this is a green and blanket there there's like some kind of green fruit in a bowl and the colors all kind of you know complement there's a bit of green in some aspects of each of the parts of the room so with rhythm it means you're using the same color or passion or Texture in a room so in this case they're using the green and and white and they're also using this and you know as General color in the room and as a pattern as well and because you can see in the mirror reflection there you can see that the the sofa or the armchair there complements same and pattern and colors used as the green and white cushions so it gives Harmony and unity to a room too much rhythm in the room as just overload far too much so they are the key ones that we are looking at today uh for your principles of design so you balance proportion emphasis and Rhythm so you should be able to stay explain and give an example for each of them now planning a room consideration so considerations are like factors or things you need to think about when planning a room so you need to think of the size and the shape of the room so you're going to use all the available space so if you have a small room say a bedroom you need to think about the shape of the room is it you know like square is it rectangular is it slightly curved and the size you're going to fit a double bed in that small room or is it only gonna fit a small little single batch function of the room so what is the purpose and how often will it be used so say if you have um say if you look at that picture in the bottom left if you have sofas there if you had the coffee table right in the middle of the room between the two doors would that be functional so would it work no it wouldn't because you'd have to go around the coffee table so it's you know blocking the the walkway and and it's also you know dangerous so you also but whether you know if that was a room that was used all the time it'd be dangerous if that was a room that wasn't used that often you know you might be able to put up with it and so position of doors windows and other fixtures such as the fireplace so in a bedroom you want to place the bed so that the uh you know your side lockers are beside plugs so that you can have a light and charge your phone at night if they're not beside that you need to move them the same like in um like for a child you shouldn't put the cup beside the window because to know there could be a breeze it also means that they can jump catch some of the like the fixtures but you know for pulling up blinds which would be very dangerous and in for example um a sitting room you want everything to be kind of angled in a way that it's around the fireplace and you're not blocking it so that you're not blocking any of the lights any of the radiators because the sofa will just you know absorb all the heat intentionally could go on fire and so it's all that type of stuff you can actually get these apps and where you can digitally design your room and it you know save you moving the sofa 100 times around the room and it works really well and a lot of them are completely free and so you're thinking of the aspect of the room this is a factor which um a lot of students wouldn't consider and it is something that they do like to ask anyway in the the old Junior search exam because it's one that people just don't think of so for example the aspect of the room is the direction in which the window faces and so this influences the amount of natural light EG rooms facing to the South will get more like the north facing so everyone will have rooms in their house which get more light and don't so when the house has been originally built this should be considered but if you've moved into a house that's already built you know pre-built and when you're designing your room you're going to have to think about these type of things so where do you want the bed where do you want the sofa is like going to hit off the the TV and then you will be able to see the TV so the different stuff like that will all affect us um and you know kitchen you want to make sure that there's more um light in there because you're going to be in there for a good bit of the day and so when you're cooking you have your breakfast stuff like that whereas you know in the bedrooms you might want as much slice you might mind it with Norse facing and so every room requires storage whether this is the bathroom the bedroom and office or the front room it needs somewhere to store stuff and it needs enough space for furniture so that the furniture can be used for caging for the family's needs you're going to think about stage of the life cycle if there's loads of kids they might need to know useful Furniture that's you know doesn't have sharp edges but that um can store like loads of toys if they've like teenagers they might need storage for you know school books for adults they might need you know storage for you know office files and stuff like that so the traffic flow of the room so if you look at this picture here to uh the left this is what I've talked about earlier on the coffee table where the coffee table is allows for adequate flow in and out of the room between the two doors however if the coffee table was moved more centrally or you know more to the left you'd be obstructing it okay and which means that you'd have to go around it it also means you know kids running in and out rooms could hit their heads and stuff and it's just very dangerous and you want to make sure that you know you don't have say a sofa against the back door or something so like if you do need to have an emergency you know you can get out very easily you want to make sure that if you have plugs that you don't have a big heavy cabinet obstructing it so that you have to move the cabinet every time you want to turn on a plug or something so it's all these types of things that you need to consider when planning a room Bush and 0.4 be one that students do forget about and a lot so if you're able to put that down on an exam question you would you know kind of um stand out more to The Examiner so a well-planned room is something that is comfortable so if you're having to hop over loads of things to get in and out of the room it's not comfortable you're not going to want to go in there comfortable as well as in it's nice and warm and you know the sofa is nice to sit in and attractive so if you have a room that's really dark and damp you're not going to go in there whereas this attractive you're going to want to go in there you're going to want to bring family and friends in so it's going to be used a lot more functional so there's no point in having something that looks really pretty and nice unless it's going to be usable and functional as well it should last okay it shouldn't just break after a couple of weeks and and in that case you know you're relating back to the sale of goods and Supply Services act 1980 or the consumer protection act 2007 and which all the consumers stuff can actually be found on the exam revision website okay it's a well-planned room comfortable attractive and functional safe okay for everyone safe as in do you know if you have a fireplace you have one of those guards around it you know have like sharp edges for kids to hit their heads off you're able to get in and out of the place without tripping over you're able to access plugs in a safe manner that you're not pulling your back every time you're moving a shelves and stuff like that so you're thinking of all ages of the life cycle well-ish because if it isn't well-ish and you're going to have to turn on loads of Lights okay loads of Lights equals more electricity which means not being sustainable if you're not turning on lights you're going to cause eye strain okay so that's damaging health and well-being and so you're thinking of your aspects so is it Southern face or North Face well heated so a warm room you're gonna you know spend a lot more time in there if it's a freezing cold room you're not going to want to go in there you're going to spend a lot more money and trying to heat it up as well and which again is bad for the environment properly ventilated now this means these little white vents in the room whilst people you know don't really like the look of them they are necessary and so whether that's leaving those in the room or having the window slightly ajar open during the day it means the air is getting in and circulating o2's coming in CO2 is going back out it means that if you have an open fire you're not having a buildup of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide and it also most you know importantly means that you're not going to grow a load of mold all over your walls if mold is growing in on the walls and ceiling it means that the room is not well ventilated it's you know particularly important for front rooms kitchens and bathrooms so easy to clean so if you have a white sofa in a room of toddlers that's not going to work okay and Joe you're thinking of stuff that suits the stage of the life cycle easy to move around in as I said before you're not tripping over stuff and you know and hurting yourself every time you're trying to get at something because that wouldn't be a well-planned room fit for purpose that everything in there and works and so that if you have a nice looking siege that it's not just you know there for the sake of being nice and Brushy that you can actually sit and use it and it can you know withstand the test of time and have kids in around and all that type of stuff so fit for purpose also fits back to your sale of goods and Supply Services act 1980 and floor plan so this would be quite detailed and students could be asked to draw a floor plan so you could be asked to design a room for a teenager in this case you'd want to include stuff like um lighting fixtures you want to include Windows Doors radiators soft Furnishings beds you know you could have like a desk you could have a seat and storage for Books Okay so floor plan is a sketch of a room drawn to scale on graph paper no they wouldn't be expecting this level of detail in a junior cycle exam it shows permanent fixtures as I said your doors windows plugs lighting fireplace and all the windows so this is particularly important for Builders and to be drawn up by an architect and possibly interior designer would help as well and but it just means that the room you know everyone knows where everything is and say you're making sure that the doors are open in the right way and there's enough space to walk around and all that type of stuff and it shows other pieces of furniture like bedding character storage and seating so decorating a room this is an example of a mood board mood boards and are part of the CBA once so you're um creative textiles so mood board is essentially um what you visualize instead of writing down a big long list of everything you have pictures and it inspires you you're not going to use everything on the mood board but it'll help you narrow it down Pinterest is extremely good for this so it helps you decide on a color scheme choosing your floor coverings remove all furniture and fittings in the room you carry out necessary structural repairs when you're decorating your room you wash down surfaces and allow them to dry you decorate in the following order so you start in the ceiling then the woodwork and then the walls lay the Floor Covering and arranged Furniture in the room so that's how you decorate your room some people do it themselves others get someone in and they pay for them to do it it all depends on you know the family's individual needs and experience so a bedroom options for decorating bedrooms so for floor you'd have sanded and sealed floorboards vinyl and carpet if you have kids you're going to look for you know Timber and vinyl floorboards whereas if it's you know like an older family carpet could be an option walls you could have paper or paint you can get paint that is um one that's like washable so the kid draws on us with crayons you can rub it off again your paint there's different paint for bathroom as opposed to front rooms Furniture you're looking at beds lockers desks chairs bookshelves you're looking at a chest of drawers wardrobes I mean they can be you know freestanding and if so they need to be um attached to the wall so they can't land on people and potentially Joe seriously hurt them or Joe it can be the built-in type and soft Furnishings we have curtains blinds carpets cushions rugs lampshades and your duvet covers so anything that's nice and fluffy and soft lighting you can have a central light you can have a bedside light you could have a desk light there's many other types you can also have lights in wardrobes as well ventilation so that's the actual Vents and your windows which are super important to allow you know oxygen and carbon dioxide to CO2 to go out oxygen to come into the room and you know getting rid of dust mites and making the room just generate better place to live in he thinks you could have a radiator it could be the one on the wall or could we do one that you plug in you could also have underfloor adhesion so a kitchen you're thinking factors to consider you need to think of the size and the shape of the kitchen so not all kitchens can be designed in the same way not all kitchens are the same size and shape the layout so you're looking at the work sequence and the work triangle which we will look at and in the next couple of slides the function of the room so in a kitchen the function is to be able to cook stuff in it's gonna you know be a room with a lot of traffic in it lots of people are going to be in there it's like usually the heart of the home hygiene and safety particularly food safety and hygiene so you're trying to reduce the risk of food poisoning preventing General microorganisms from getting in there in the first place you're looking back at food safety and hygiene chapter and ventilation lighting and heating so particularly lighting so you can see what you're cutting when you're making food and heating if it's not so that it's not too cold ventilation there's going to be strong smells if you're cooking fish you need to get it out of the gel you don't want the whole house to sink out you also want to know to stop mold growing you want you know air getting in and out so the aspect of the room so for example south facing is brighter it gets more light whereas your North Face and it's going to be dark which means you're going to need more lights in the kitchen you could you know need lights on the recliner tops you need enough storage and workspaces which is particularly important when you're in a kitchen because there's going to be a lot of different uh pieces of equipment so the work sequence this is what the work sequence look like so the work involved in the storage and preparation of food usually follows a logical sequence so first of all your food storage so you get say and I have a pepper I'll either take it out in this case I'll take it out of the fridge preparation I'm going to bring it over to the counter and I'm going to safely prepare it I like you know I'd wash it beforehand and then when I'm finished I'm going to cook the pepper in whatever way I deem fish and and then I'm going to serve it so Joe it follows a sequence which is logical [Music] so the work triangle is the one on the bottom right so the fridge the sink and the cooker are the three pieces of equipment that I use the most if you think about it they are and it makes sense that you have them all together in an invisible triangle so if you look at the top right the fridge the cooker and the the harbor oven the further to walk and it's stuck in between and you know two doors that means people are walking in and out the whole time whereas where it is on the bottom right it's not been obstructed by people walking in and out it just makes sense the way it is it's ergonomic so it's efficient and that's what humans want they want everything to be you know super efficient so there should be work services in between so let's walk this would be like really key one to learn off this chapter because there's one students commonly struggle with so today we look to design in the home part one part two we looked at some exam questions as well make sure to check out the exam revision website this was the junior cycle home Aqua looks like we have videos quizzes presentations and the homework one is laid out according to the specifications so there's three strands strand one food health and culinary skills around two responsible family living and that's where today's chapter will come from and then strand to textiles and craft so this would be the what the exam revision would look like if you were to go into a specific topic make sure to follow us on social media so on Twitter insta Tick Tock Facebook and then our YouTube videos thank you very much for listening and to today's Junior cycle home economics to an exam revision on design in the home with Associated questions and with Amy Cohn
