Likes and Dislikes

I had another meeting with my client to find out the types of colours and patterns she likes, designs that she doesn't like, and any ideas she had for the designs of any of the rooms.

For the Kitchen she would like the units to be light in colour as the kitchen is small but not white as they are too modern for her tastes and will get dirtier quicker. She would also like blinds for the window and the glass part of the door, preferably with a bright pattern on them with flowers or fruits to add colour accents to the room. Tiles around the top of the work surface is also a preference.

In the bathroom, she would like the colour scheme to be matched to the towels and curtains that she already has, so this would be pinks and browns. She would also like the room to be light in colour as the bathroom is a small room as well.

In the bedroom, she would like the curtains to be plain not patterned and a light colour on the walls.

Her favourite colours for rooms are pinks, purples, browns and creams in pale tones, and likes the modern country look. She likes rooms to look bright and spacious, but also to have patterns that give colour accents.

She doesn't like very modern designs, specific period designs or heavily detailed designs.



After looking at the client's likes and dislikes, I have researched some images that I think would match the type of rooms she would like in her maisonette.

Bathroom

         

Paler colours make the room look spacious, off-white tiles 

add a warmer feel. Wall radiator doubles as heat provider 

and towel rail.

Contemporary style, light and airy, floor to ceiling tiles help

bounce light around the room. Border can help create a wider 

horizontal illusion. Pale blind lets light in but keeps privacy.  

The bathrooms above are pale in colour and have pink and brown/cream colour schemes. They also have tiles on the walls like my client wants.


Bedrooms

Country style, calm atmosphere, floral feminine elements,

white furnishings, patterned bedspread, soft pastel colours.

Country style, light and airy, pale furnishings, dark 

colours create an accent, peaceful. 

Traditional, light, natural tones, white furnishings,

red/purple accent colours.

Contemporary, warm colours, relaxing, bright accent

colour in bedspread, texture.

Contemporary, purple accents, light walls, bright and 

spacious, texture, luxury.

All of the bedrooms above show the colour schemes my client likes, and have accent colours to create a brighter and more spacious feeling to the rooms.
