INDIVIDUAL PROJECT SUMMER INTERNSHIP 2019 LOCATED IN DAVENPORT, IA OBJECTIVE Commercial client of Conceptual Designs Inc. asked for interior design help with giving a modern update to his dated full bath. He asked that we maintain a masculine feel, but add clean, sleek finishes. Budget is a focus, but quality finishes are expected.

CONCEPT The mixture of wood and cool tones with both concepts exemplifies the client's interest. Option A follows a more simplified approach, and is budget friendly. Option B grants additional color and pattern variation, as well as a larger vanity.
