SAMPLE BOARDS
Module 9
You are to choose four rooms from your renovation, for example, the kitchen, the dining room, the study and the living room. You need to furnish these rooms and upload four separate sample boards. Select furniture, artwork and accessories for your clients’ home that also complement the previous finishes selected. So be sure to tie in your scheme with your choices so far.
I chose an analogous scheme for the living room, as it creates a more welcoming tone to the space. The living room is a place that is frequented by guests and homeowners, which is why it needs to be more appealing and comfortable (achromatic and monochromatic schemes may be dull and boring).
The colour of the walls and ceilings are Resene White Pointer (N89-007-087).
The predominant colour in this design is Resene Fountain Blue (B72-053-208), with hints of beige, yellow, and whites. The blue used is complements the white curtains and walls, and the soft colours create a homely feel to the overall design, and it’s inviting to guests. The excess of white creates a somewhat calming environment, and also gives off a clean and crisp feel to the entire room. The added touches of yellow complete the analogous scheme.
There is a wall against the staircase that is filled with photographs of family, friends, etc. This adds a feel of home and familiarity. A stack of cubed shelves are stuck to a corner of the wall. This creates an aesthetic appeal, and also allows the client to add personal touches to the room.
The curtain I chose is Flirt (Christian Fischbacher fabrics). The floral patterns create a soothing, and the soft colours tie in with the rest of the living room. The designs on the curtain make it stand out against the neutral colour of the walls.
There are two type of light fixtures in the living room. The first one is a ceiling light, placed above the coffee table. The ceiling light is simple, and doesn't attract too much attention. The three bulbs will illuminate the entire area, and on top of the ceiling light, there is also a floor lamp. The floor lamp is intended to be place between the curved couch and the single chair. The single chair, as well as the cushions on the main couch, will have blue cushions to fit into the scheme of the entire room.
The coffee table is a neutral colour, with white legs & a wooden top. This ties in with the entire room, and makes everything more harmonious. There is also a vase of flowers on the coffee table, and the vase matches the colour of the cushions.
Finally, the television shelf will have drawers that are a similar shade of blue as the rest of the accessories in the room. This creates balance, and makes the room seem harmonious and eye catching.
Because the kitchen/dining room and living room is set in an open area, the colour scheme is the same throughout. This makes the entire area seem more eye-catching and easy flowing. The colour of the walls and ceilings are Resene White Pointer (N89-007-087). The predominant colour in this design is Resene Fountain Blue (B72-053-208), with hints of beige, yellow, and whites.
The dining room consists of a table that sits up to 6 people. The chairs all have an blue upholstery, and a single drop chord light hangs above the table, enough to illuminate the area at dinnertime. The dining table is made out of wood, which matches the countertops.
Since my design is an open living room/kitchen concept, I used the same curtain as the living room Flirt (Christian Fischbacher fabrics). The floral patterns create a soothing, and the soft colours tie in with the rest of the living room. The designs on the curtain make it stand out against the neutral colour of the walls.
The kitchen lights are a collection of built in ceiling lights. This provides sufficient light, since the kitchen is rather small. The splashback is made out of glass, and is coloured in blue to fit the rest of the design scheme. The fridge and ovens are built into the walls to save space, and all the larger kitchen appliance is stainless steel and silver, which complements the rest of the house's colours and designs.
The kitchen has a very calming feel, and the splashes of blue distributed throughout the area creates a sense of uniformity with the living room.
For the study room, I decided to use a monochromatic scheme, with an added touch of blue to fit the rest of the house. The colours of the doors, walls and ceilings are Resene Half Concrete (N91-001-126), and the skirting boards are Resene Double Concrete (N82-001-111). The study also has a feature wall, featured on the northern wall (behind the desk). The colour of the feature wall is Resene Foundry (N33-007-254). The dark colour of the feature wall is eye catching and makes the room stand out. Without it, the room will seem dull and boring.
The curtains are a shade of blue that matches the living room. The particular curtain I chose is from the Adobe collection from Zepel Fabrics. The curtains add brightness to the room, and blue is colour that's associated with wisdom. It also reduces stress, and creates a restful, calming and contemplative environment which is fitting for a study room.
Keeping with the monochromatic scheme, all the furniture in the room are in shades of grey. The desk is a darker shade of grey, and the chair is a typical office chair that's coloured blue to match the curtains. On the other side of the room, against the south wall, there is a two seater couch. The couch is predominantly used for guests, and there is also a small coffee table with a pot plant in front of it. The coffee table is made out of wood, and the vase that holds the plant has specks of blue to create harmony and balance in the room.
On the east wall of the room, there is a bookcase. The bookcase creates balance in the entire room and ties the whole area together. The study also has a ceiling fan attached in the centre of the room. The ceiling fan is white, which blends in with the ceiling as to not make it too focused to guests. There is a black wall lamp next to the couch, and there is a blue floor lamp next to the desk for when the sun sets.
The colour scheme matches the study room's, because it's connected to the study. Therefore, the bathroom floors and walls are both charcoal coloured, which fits most with the Resene Half Concrete walls of the study room. The only wall that is different from the rest is the wall that the bathtub is placed against. This wall features aqua coloured subway tiles, which contrasts against the rest of the walls. The ceiling of the bathroom is a pale shade of aqua.
The cabinet in the bathroom is a shade of grey that matches the tiled walls. This create a sense of harmony, and ties the entire bathroom together. Because the bathroom is rather small, there is only need for one artificial light source. The only light source is in the form of a ceiling light, placed in the middle of the room. When it's daylight, the window provides natural light.
The bathtub, toilet, and sink are all white porcelain, and the bathmat next to the bathtub is a shade of aqua that matches the rest of the colour scheme.
