How Do You Design Furniture Using Arithmetic Progression?
All great furniture starts with a great design, but deciding on the size of a piece can be time consuming. There are shortcuts to finding the most aesthetically pleasing sizes though. If the piece you’re designing has drawers, use arithmetic progression to determine the right size for each drawer and speed up the design process without sacrificing quality. Using this method creates an eye-catching and well-proportioned piece of furniture. Decide on the size of the bottom drawer face height. This is the largest drawer in the piece of furniture. Choose an increment number to use for arithmetic progression. The number you use determines the size of each successive drawer for your design. Subtract your chosen increment number from the measurement of the bottom drawer height to determine the height of the next drawer up. For example, if the bottom drawer is 10 inches and your increment number is 1, then the next drawer’s height would be 9 inches (10 – 1). Take the height of the second drawe
