Please make notes on this and keep together with your samples in envelopes.
Specifications for COLOR BOARDS
Each student will draw an envelope with a picture of a piece of furniture.
You will also be given a room and a theme of sort. You might need to
research out the theme.
What is a color board? It’s up for interpretation.
The client can come to you with an idea, and you then in return (trying to
land the job or make the sale), make a color board. Why they are called
color boards is a mystery. It really is a sample board. You are trying to show
the different colors but also the feeling and theme of the room.
Basically it shows the client (Me the Teacher) what you have in mind or
options.
You don’t need a lot of pictures, but you can do a lot by the presentation.
You will need to find one other picture, which is an accessory or accent. Like
a vase, candle sticks a statue. It should reflect your theme.

Mount/ mat samples on crescent mat board. If you need a different
color than what I have in class, you’ll need to buy it yourself. Don’t
paint the boards, it makes them buckle. The color of your board
should be chosen after you have all your samples. The color of your
mat board should enhance, not detract from your overall effect.
Samples:
should reflect your, theme, feel, color scheme, but also
contain neutral colors. Samples should be grouped together in some
organized way.
You need the following samples:
a.
Wall coverings: Paint, wallpaper, ceilings, trim (molding),
borders. These are just examples, but not limited to. You will
decide what combinations to use. You will need a minimum of 5
samples for the walls.
Example:

2 colors of paint (neutral) for the wall
1 faux paint sample for a popout over fireplace
1 textured wall treatment

Crown or floor molding
b.
Floor coverings: carpet, tile, rugs, wood, stone etc. A
minimum of two.
c.
Window treatment:
drapery, blinds, shutters etc.
Minimum of 2.
d.
Furniture finishes:
wood, metal, plastic, hardware.
Minimum of 2. One of these should match your
furniture picture.
e.
Upholstery fabric: furniture, pillows, place mats,
napkins, bedspreads, etc. Minimum of 5. Remember
that they can be mixed or matched, they can be the same
color, but different textures. If your picture has fabric
you will need to use one of your samples to match it.
f.
1 item of interest. A rock, branch, shell. You don’t
want to over do it, but make it bring out your theme.
Title: each board should have a title and created or designed by……
Legend: each sample needs to be labeled simply. You decide how you
want to label.
Affix materials firmly to the board so they do not fall off. Tape and
rubber cement does not work. Glue gun will hold some, but will not
hold heavy tiles. Wire or screw odd size objects. Double-sided sticky
foam tape is the best.
Balance out your board. Look at what stands out, then make
placements.
All samples must be either mounted on mat board with a bevel cut or
cut a hole with the mat cutter bevel. This includes your picture,
accent, title and your legends.
Back your board to cover all the adhesives.
On the back of your board glue on a typed paper with your name,
address and phone number.
