This space is accessible for objects that usually
remain scattered around a persons home. The use
of an inbuilt bookcase makes the room look more
open and looks tidy. The modern furniture in this
space looks very up-market and exquisite. The
simple portrait is eye catching but still sticks
to the simplistic theme.

Design Brief
Durability- the furniture must be long lasting When going to the furniture stores ask questions such as what materials and fabrics is this made from? If I drop juice on it will it stain?
Ergonomics- the space must be designed for comfort, safety, efficiency and productivity. The furniture being comfortable. Making sure the shelves are easily accessible. Making sure the passageways are noticeable and convenient.
Trends- be modern and original Not following current trends as they well become dated. Having an original taste and creating a deisgn from my own mind. I will look through old magazines and incorporate a modern taste to it. Draw sketches of what I want the furniture to look like, and get the furniture made.
Quality- it must be able to last long and the fabrics and materials must be high quality. Making sure the furniture is stain resistant, long lasting, not going to shrink or stretch. And not going to break in months to come.

it is a must that there be built in wardrobes.

Design Brief
Design Specifications CONSIDERATIONS- Time- we
only have 15 weeks to complete the project and
folio. Consider using time effectively and making
a time and production plan. Materials- what
materials am I going to use? Are they durable?
Are they stain resistant? Will they fade? Check
when purchasing materials how long they last and
there quality. Colour schemes- I will make
colour boards and check with my clients which
colours are best for the space. I will use a
whole range of colours so that it is not limited
of choice for my client and that they have more
control over the colours they want and the
variety. Function- the room must function. Take
measurements of the room make sure the furniture
is going to fit. And remember to take down
measurements such as height and weight of the
normal person for the size of the door and how
big the windows are so that pieces of furniture
are below the window and not in front.
Environmental Impact- If I am going to buy
furniture consider the environmental impact, if
it is possible use environmentally friendly
furniture as often as I can. Appearance- what
does the client want the room to look like? Do
they have a certain style they want me to
continue on throughout this space? How will the
design look to other people? The space should
look aesthetically pleasing, survey a range of
people from different ages and see if they like
my designs before I redesign the space. Cost-
how much do I need to spend on certain objects? I
want to use the money widely and only spend the
amount I need. What furniture looks best and why
should I spend the majority of the money on that
rather then a home entertainment centre for the
space.

CONSTRAINTS- Cost- I have a budget of 10 000
and must not go over it. Shape and size- I cant
change the size of the space, nor can I knock
down walls. Ii have to work around the size and
shape of the space. Time- I only have 15 weeks
so I have to stay organised and on top of my work
so that this room is successful.
OPPORTUNITIES- Skill development- this project
gives me a chance to improve my knowledge, skills
and to see how creative I am and to see if
architecture or interior designing is the right
path for me. A new developed room- an efficient
room will be made through this project and It
will look more modern and inviting.
