Project 2: Sneak Peek!

So my second project for my city and guilds level 2 in Interior Design is a home based office come craft room.

I am SO excited about this one, my last project  was quite minimal and 'trendy' with lots of white gloss and high pigment colour pops, so with this one I'm really excited to create a light tonal scheme with lots of soft furnishing and more rustic & vintage style furniture.

These are my samples :]

I started collecting them when I was doing my loft project as I was craving a room with more obvious comfort and plushness. For details see the shopping list at the end.

 I really love the Moroccan feel of the pattern in the wallpaper and love the pale turquoise with the metallic edge. The rest of the fabrics were chosen to coordinate with this and add depth.

The embroidered silk next to the wallpaper is what will be used for the curtains. I love that it brings in other colours to the scheme particularly the yellowish green which I will pick out in other places of the project. The rest of the fabrics wont all be used but some will be used for throw cushions.

The other fabric that will feature is the small sample right in the middle. This bead pattern in duck egg pewter and natural will form the pin board I will place on the papered wall in front of the desk. I feel this is a nice contrast to the paper and will add interest and depth.

Here is a mini example of the pin board I made. I hope to bring in some other small accent colours of the room in the pins.

This is my furniture story board for the craft room

With this project I'm setting a more real budget of between £2,000 and £4,000 I haven't quite decided! But really want it to be obtainable and realistic !

I really can't wait to do the rest of my mood boards and my sample board and elevations 

and well all of it! I actually want to have this room myself. 

Stay tuned for more to come :)
