The Entry Sequence

The entry sequence is the first impression that visitors have of a home, and it sets the tone for the entire experience. For this reason, I paid particular attention to ensure that it was both functional and aesthetically pleasing. This included creating a clear and unobstructed pathway from the entry to the main living area, selecting finishes and lighting that complemented the overall design aesthetic, and incorporating storage solutions for coats, shoes, and other items.

The kitchen and respit spaces are also critical areas in any home, as they are often where people spend the majority of their time. I focused on creating a functional and inviting kitchen space that would be both practical for cooking and entertaining, as well as aesthetically pleasing. This involved careful consideration of the layout and flow of the space, selection of high-quality materials and finishes, and incorporation of storage solutions to maximize functionality.

I created comfortable and welcoming spaces that would promote relaxation and well-being. This involved selecting materials and finishes that would contribute to a calming atmosphere, designing layouts that were both functional and visually appealing.

Considerations For An Accessible Adu

When designing for accessibility, it’s important to consider not only the immediate needs of the occupants, but also any potential future needs as they age or their abilities change. This means incorporating features that will allow them to age in place and maintain their independence for as long as possible. For example, I may include lever-style door handles instead of knobs, which are easier to grasp and manipulate for those with limited dexterity.

In addition to physical features, designing for accessibility can also include creating a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere. This could involve using color schemes and finishes that are easy on the eyes, selecting furniture and fixtures that are ergonomically designed, and incorporating art and decor that reflects the personality and interests of the occupants.

Overall, designing for accessibility requires attention to detail and a commitment to creating a safe and comfortable space for all occupants, regardless of their age or abilities. As an interior designer, it’s my responsibility to ensure that the space not only meets their functional needs, but also enhances their overall well-being and quality of life.

Bedroom Color Schemes

When working on a design project, it’s not uncommon for clients to have different preferences and ideas for how they want their space to look and feel. To address this challenge, I came up with a solution to create a few schemes that were based on shared color desires. This means that I identified colors that both clients liked and used them as a starting point for the design.

However, I also ensured that each scheme included the same base elements that had been approved for the design. By doing this, I was able to create a few design options that both clients could potentially be happy with. This approach also allowed the clients to see how different color schemes could impact the overall look and feel of the space, which may have helped them to make a more informed decision about which scheme to choose.

Overall, this approach shows that as a designer, I was able to be flexible and creative in finding a solution that met the needs of both clients, while still adhering to the constraints of the approved design elements. The schemes are as follows

A - Monochrome Green, B - Complimentary Navy & Beige, & Finally C - Split Complimentary Orange & Purple.
