Size and dimensions
Proportions and sizes of your furniture should be in scale to your home. The Ergonomic factor should be employed when designing the items. A reading table and seat as an example should be at a level that is comfortable to the user to avoid health implications such as back pains. Same goes for Kitchen worktops. Furniture dimensions as a rule should bare the relationship with the user in mind.
