CREATING A COLOR SCHEME:

1. Choose a main color which pleases you and use this for a dominant furnishing item.

2. Choose an accent color from the opposite side of the color wheel, as complement or contrast.

3.  Link these two together with any neutral color like off-white, cream, beige, grey, fawn, ecru, etc.

4. Different colors create different moods. Warm colors (red, orange, yellow) and cool (green, blue, violet) colors describe the visual temperature created by these groups. However, it is important to stress that we are generalizing for

a color is a personal thing; color means different things to different people; for instance, red maybe lively or threatening.

GENERAL MOODS CREATED BY COLOR

A.  RED - rich, welcoming but can be over-aggressive B.  PINK - (red and white) - retains the warmth of red but it is also

delicate and dainty. C.  BLUE - tranquil, used to calm down but may need contrasting

warm touches to prevent a chilly feeling. D.  ORANGE, TAN, GOLDEN BROWN - warm cozy colors;

deeper brown needs offsetting with brighter colors to avoid drab effect; bright orange is admirable for color accents but tiring if surfaces are large.

E.  YELLOW - has good light reflecting qualities; used to brighten dingy rooms.

F.  GREEN - cool, spacious color except when they veer towards yellow shades, when they become warm.

G.  PLUMS AND VIOLETS - have a formal, almost regal association which makes them difficult to apply in homes but the paler versions, the mauves can be pleasantly delicate

In planning for interior spaces, the following have to be considered: 

1.  Purpose of the room 2.  Requirements of the structure 3.  Character of the structure. 4.  The interior design concept. 5.  Availability of materials and existing furnishing 6.  Budget 7.  Trends and fashions 

LIVING ROOM 

Planning Considerations: 

1.  Provision of area, adequate floor and wall space for furniture grouping.  

2.  Maximum flexibility. 3.  Segregation of traffic ways from center of activities. 4.  Ease of access. 5.  Doors in constant use should be placed so that the traffic between 

them will not interfere with furniture groups. 

FURNITURE GROUPINGS:  

1.  Primary conversation group (around a fireplace maybe)  2.  Secondary conversation group (usually at the end of a room or at      a corner) 3.   Reading groups 4.   Writing or study groups 5.   Music group 6.   Game group 7.   TV group 

DRAWING REQUIREMENTS 

1.  Schematic Design of floor plan showing furniture arrangement on bond paper 

2.  Schematic (elevations, maybe rough perspective) 3.  Floor plan (final) @ scale 1:80 m (tracing paper) and reflected 

ceiling plan 4.  Three elevations 5.  Furniture details, at least 3 and 4 (plan, side views, front view) 6.  Perspective, 15”x20” illustration board, rendered in watercolor with 

any convenient scale 7.  Design Criteria and Swatches (15”x20”)
