In that planning process, the relation between the room as a whole and its elements like furniture was focused by analyzing the home planning guide books between the mid-nineteenth century and the mid-twentieth century. Since the house was recognized as the intimate space for the modern private family, the rooms have been aimed to a right place for family activity.
