Interior Designed Room

Hello, I'm Aria Beard! I am currently a senior attending Norwalk High School. This is my first year learning Fusion 360, but I take time out of school to learn more. I want to learn more so I can improve my skills in CAD. In my instructable, I used CAD and I have created steps on how to interior design a bathroom. Some of the reasons why I have chosen to enter this instructable is because I want to study Interior Design at University. I feel if I learn how to use CAD before University it can give me a jump start for my future. The picture above would be the space I will be working on interior designing.

Some of the materials that I used were a measuring tape, pencil, grid paper, and Fusion 360.

The first step that I always do when recreating a new space is to ask the client what they would like to have within the space (try to get very specific details about what they want the room to look and feel like). Next, take measurements of the existing space. I then take those measurements and put them onto grid paper. Your want to take measurements of the walls, thickness of the walls, measurements of the doorways. Some other measurements you want to keep in mind are the objects within the space that are permanent or that the client does not want to be changed. In my case, the toilet is the only object that needs to stay in its space.

The next step is to take those measurements and transfer them into CAD. I started off with a sketch of the length of my four walls and then extruded it to the height of my walls. After I created a box, I used the shell tool to create the thickness of my walls. I then extruded downwards the thickness of the walls on the top, front, and right view.

Now that I have my base done, I can put in some of my permanent features. In this photo, I put in the window and toilet. I created the toilet by creating a sketch of a rectangle and extruding it. Then I created a sketch of a circle and extruded that which gave me a cylinder. So, to create a more bowl look I put a fillet on the bottom edge. Next, I moved the full component up 3 inches because we have a floating toilet. It's weird in my opinion. ***Make sure for every new item you make to use "new component" when extruding ***

After adding the permanent objects I then customize it to the client's objectives. In this case, they wanted a long counter, a big shower with no bath, more storage, and a modern barn feel to it. In the shower, they also wanted a building rest and shelves. One of the hardest things in meeting these objectives is also making the room feel not small. You have to use the space very well. So, for this room, I put the shower against the back wall, even though there is a window (but you can make those waterproof easily). I put it there because they wanted a large shower area but it's also a smaller room and it would be an awkward fit to go between the wall (on the right or left) and the shower. To give it a modern barn feel I want to use 3/4 walls that are made of glass and have black steel for support for the door and where it meets a wall. The storage area in the back is not all drawers that way it gives more depth to the room and not make it feel as small. The

Now, that all the major parts are included in the space and the client's requirements are met we can decor it a bit more. Here I added the mirror, sink, mason jar light figures, rug, half wall, and storage areas.
