Interior Design Inspirations

I chose mostly interior blogs which showed furniture that couldn't necessarily be duplicated. Most of the interior inspirations I found from these blogs were recovered furniture or antiques that were found and refinished. I like projects that seem "unfinished", as my design inspiration states. Therefore, I liked how these designers took it upon themselves to create pieces of furniture instead of just buying them. 

Color Options

Extra Implied Pictures

Since I didn't use a "coffee table" space for my first implied space, I used this coffee table space to show implied space.  

There is implied space between the people as well as the around the "hammock".  

Redesign A Room

Above are picture of the dining room at my house. It is a small space, but it is one room I have always thought it had so much potential! I tried to edit a few of the picture, but there were always elements that seemed to disappear in the room. Therefore, I left the pictures in natural lighting.

Texture

Actual Texture 

1. The ostrich skin of this chair has raised spots and a leather feel, giving the chair an actual texture. 2. This burlap pillow gives a hard, rough texture to the interior space. 3. This shag rug gives texture to the wood floor. 4. This exposed brick wall gives a hard, rough texture to the walls.

Implied Texture 

1. This leopard pillow appears to have a fur texture but is actually needlepoint.  2. This potted plant has faux-dirt, meaning what appears to be dirt is actually plastic in the pot. 3. This table appears to be made of real wood  but it is actually linoleum. 4. This counter top appears to be granite but it is actually Formica.

 

Variety

Variety 

1. The pool table mixed with the poster-like artwork and high back chairs add variety to this sitting space. 2. The wooden tv stand with wicker baskets is an overwhelming piece in the room. It is offset by the variety of smaller scale elements such as the music stand and modern lamp. 3. The old apothecary jars of different sizes are off-setting to the stainless steel new age refrigerator. 4. This table is made using a variety of materials: granite and recycled wood. It is placed among leather couches with burlap pillows.

 

Unity + Harmony

Unity + Harmony

1. The way these benches are set up to have the cross as the center creates unity. They seem to unite people under one common element. 2. The trees are planted in rows along this mall of this campus. It seems to create harmony and lead the eye along to the chapel. 3. The simple backdrop of this picture with the farm life and the skies represent harmony through evoking that emotion. 4. The simple color scheme of light blues, greens, and red create harmony in the decor.
