INTERIOR DECORATING: DESIGN-A-ROOM
15 points
1. Choose a focal point. It may be a picture, fabric covering, accessory, et.
Plan your room around this item. Consider the function/use of the room
along with color scheme and your taste.
45 points
2. Use the pre-drawn room and sample furniture to create a pleasing
layout. Consider and keep in mind:
Scale: large to small size
Proportion: size relationship
Traffic pattern: coming/going to destination/direction
Function: purpose/usage of an object or furniture
Experiment with different arrangements by moving the furniture to different
spaces in the room. This is called space planning and will help you find the
most pleasing arrangement. Neatly glue down or draw in your final/best
arrangement for your great room. Label the furniture/parts of your room.
40 points
3. Color your room. Use one of the following color schemes taken from
your focal point.
Triad: three colors, equal distance on color wheel
Complementary: opposite on color wheel
Analogous: next to each other
Monochromatic: all the same color, varying shades/tints
Accented Neutral: mostly neutral colors with one color from the color
wheel to accent the rest
Budget
for your
Dream Room
You will have to follow a budget for your room. Since this can be any room of your choice the budget
will be a little high. You will record all that you spend on this sheet so you can keep track of every cent
you spend. When looking online, don’t forget to include the tax and shipping of that item. If you find
something in a magazine, then look up an item like it or that item on the computer to find the nearest
cost. Have fun and be creative!
You will ALL start out with $25,000. If you want to get a loan from a friend who will not use their
entire budget, you may do so; just indicate the amount you are being given on your chart below.
