The Sleeping area includes bedrooms, bathrooms, and storage. The sleeping area should be easily accessible, but at the same time it should be possible to shut it off from the rest of the house to obtain privacy, quiet, and economy in heating.

In planning a bedroom you should consider the interests of the individual who will occupy that room. The bedroom furniture should be considered while the bedroom is in the planning stage, not after the house is built. Bedroom storage should be adequate and should be carefully planned. Additional storage space should be provided in the hall for linens and in bathroom for towels and bathroom supplies.

As a rule, the bathroom in the home should not be of the minimum size. The care of the ill or of young people, often requires occupancy by two persons. The multi-occupancy bathroom provides the advantages of two bathrooms, while effecting savings in space and piping.
