Today I'm continuing working in my sketch book and developing my mood boards and then start converting the sizes for my scale model.
How are you going to be producing your work?
I am working in my sketch book now, so I will hopefully I will have finished mood boards, finished artist research, and starter sketches for floor plan.
What will you have by the end of the lesson?
Finished mood boards, finished artist research and scale model down scales.

I finally found the floor plans for the actual house which will make a lot of things so much easier. For example now I can convert the sizes down to scale, be able to see where I could place furniture and work out if they'd fit etc. I've also included the other rooms just so I can always see the structure of the house which for whatever reason helps me.

I really do like this combination because I think the contrasts are really good and work strongly together. I think the 'tangerine' is obviously a bright orange, which really brings out the bright tones in the turquoise. I also think the orange will go really well with the greys in the room, because with the greys being a mix of light ans dark slightly the orange will really help bring them out and make it stand out more.

I'm using the website, HGTV, for help and research into which colour's could mix well together. I am also using the help of colour wheels so I can see the contrast. I do like the teal and 'rust' combination but I think it's more a burnt orange than rust colour, I do think it works really well and I would definitely consider this colour choice. I think just the contrasts between them would be really good as it's not very dark but not to bright either. The only issue with this colour what I would say is that it's very hard to keep this continuous, there are similar colour's that will either be a shade lighter or darker next to each other, also I just think that the colour needs to be a tad lighter, to contrast better with the wall colour.

From my research of different styles and designs, I've learnt that for such a contrast between a dark-ish turquoise/teal colour on the surrounding walls, then a light grey colour for the large sofa's, I need a pop of colour in the room to really bring it all together, and make it feel smoother and a bit brighter. I'm researching different, unique colour schemes so I can have an idea on what colour's I could chose to go with my idea.

Because I've already got my 2 main colour's for the room, from looking at other designs etc. I know I need a tiny pop of colour to complete the room. Today I'm going to be comparing colour's to see which would go best with the style.
How are you going to produce your work?
I think the easiest way to show it is to gather images to compare different colour's to my already chosen ones. Then hopefully I'll find a definite colour to go with my work, then from there I'll create a mood board and start sampling.
What will you have by the end of the lesson?
Hopefully a colour that mixes in well with the turquoise and grey, a mood board of that colour, then hopefully I can start looking at some samples.

Like with the turqouise mood board, I wanted to make a board of images just to keep track of what images and objects I’ve been looking at and taking inspiration from.

I wanted to gather images that inspired me to chose the colour's for the room I'm designing. I wanted to have a mood board of patterns, colour mixes, objects and anything else that I've already taking for inspiration and other things that I can use for future reference.

Today I plan on starting and hopefully finishing my artist research. I've already choosing the 2 artists I'm researching and I know some smalls things about them already.
How are you going to produce your work?
Because it's only research, I'm making 2 separate columns with the research in and maybe some images I can use for reference and inspiration.
What will you have by the end of the lesson?
Hopefully by the end of the lesson I shall have 2 columns with information about the two artists I have chosen, the info will hopefully help me with my project and building my ideas.

Again I'm still unsure of what my final outcome will be as I would love to actually have an actual room for my final piece but due to being unsure on dates but even if I can't do that I'm still making a white scale model to present.

The original idea was to either create/design the room on Photoshop but now because I can actually design a room and actually decorate it it gives me more freedom to maybe actually decorate the room and see it in real life. I'm still unsure if this would actually be possible as I'm still unsure on dates for moving in, but I would still make a little white model with the colour schemes included in it. I'll also track my colour theme progression as I think it would be good to see where I got my inspiration from

I don't expect to learn everything about the ins and out of Interior Design but I hope to get some good practice in and just get an early feel for the basics of designing and creating a room into something beautiful and unique from nothing. Also it would be good to get a feel for approaching this in a professional way, I know I technically wouldn't be working with or for a client but I could do the research and the plans in a professional way.
