Mood Board
Moodboard Reflection
This week in Interior Design we were learning about how to work Olioboard and be able to make our Mood Board that showed what our style was.
A Mood Board, it can also be known as an inspiration board for your designs. A Mood Board is a way to showcase or convey your design idea’s that you may have. Interior Designers are able to show furniture, paint/wallpaper, different kinds of fabric, and be able to show that to clients they may have, just to give them an idea of what the room or space could look like.
This board definitely reflects my personality and style. I love the plain colors and being able to add some little pops of bright colors in there as well. I would say my style is clean but yet has a little bit of fun colors in there. My style is Classic Elegance but at the same time i like to mix bright colors in with plain whites or grays.The total cost of my Mood Board room is $10,829.
In conclusion this board represents just a little piece of who I am and what my style conveys.
Blog Review
In Interior Design this week, we are working on our blog review. And that consists of looking up designers blogs and looking at what there style conveys. Interior Designers choose to have blogs to be able to show there designs or what there style kind of looks like. And also people have access to go and see the designs online, which is a benefit also.
The first blog I visited was houzz.com. Some of there designs are simple and elegant, but also some are quite creative. They have a lot of plain colors with a little bit of color added to them. They have very interesting lay out designs, and different stuff that they utilize with the rooms. There website gives you a lot of options to go see different rooms and they are very organized with the tabs for different things. I also absolutely love there kitchen designs that they use, and the unique ways they design things.
The second blog I visited was freshome.com. They have very modern rooms, but they utilize a lot of space in the rooms. Some rooms have very plain colors, but very unique furniture. Other rooms have a variety of colors and different patterns mixed together. I love there houses and the setups, because they are weird but unique, you never really see houses like the ones they had.
The third blog I visited was decor8blog.com. I loved this blogs designs! They are so creative and it adds a lot of character to the rooms. The rooms have more of a vintage feel to them, with all the old photos and antiques that they use. I could be in those rooms all day and never get bored because of how unique they are.
Out of the three blog sites I visited, I believe that the first blog was my favorite. It was more of my style, with classic elegance and a pop of color added to each room. The trends that I have seen throughout these blogs is the use of unique and cool items, they utilized very well.
