INTRO
Thank you for this job. I enjoyed working on it very much. Please find the additional details about the project below.
BOOK STORAGE
The bookshelf is located on the east wall. It is under-window height. This way it won’t stop any light coming through. The finish is burgundy (Carmen A40 Dulux). It has a built in look but it is made in units and you can easily move it around and change its look. Now it is arranged to make the back of the kitchen counter feel as a part of the design and the living-dining room. In future, this can become a part of one-sided waterfall kitchen counter and hold decorative kitchenware. On the other hand, it can easily be removed and placed in another location. The light in the bookshelves is a variety of decorative lamps. Alternatively LED strips can be placed at the bottom and back of each shelf. I have contacted a carpenter regarding this job, but feel free to go with your choice. The production file is included so you can easily make it.
COLOR SCHEME
The color scheme is different for living and dining space so it forms two unities. The living space is blue – yellow and the dining space is red – burgundy.
I didn’t want to include too much of the dark color since this would make your living space look smaller and not as bright. The north wall is dark blue. The blue fades out on the west wall wallpaper which was custom designed for your wall. The banana leafs scale down from north to south making whiter space between. The effect contributes to fluidity and unity of space. It also adds an interesting feel of change. Additionally, you can decide if you want to invest into a wallpaper in the entrance area. The banana leafs scale up around the walls starting from the living room wallpaper. The design of the wallpaper is a modern architectural parametric design mixed with traditional banana jungle wallpaper design. The other walls are natural white.
LIGHTING FIXTURES
Lighting fixtures are modern and classical. Please see the lighting floorplan for further information
DINING AREA
Keeping your table. In this arrangement, there are four chairs. I propose to use two extra chairs from the balcony when needed. Once you decide to get bar stools the table can be rotated (90 degrees) or even diagonally (45 degrees). It will look great and also this is another way how to refresh the look of your living space.
ENTERTAMENT AREA
In this design, I am including your sofa and coffee table, carpet, one armchair and ottoman. Feel free to get one more chair of the same kind or different kind as proposed in the furniture floorplan. On the wall behind the sofa, there is a design accent frame that holds the pull-down projection screen and a small easily removable shelf with an object of importance to you, something you bring from a trip, or a plant. More important, the removable shelf enables you to watch movies on both east and west wall – place the projector on the bookshelf or on the small removable shelf. I have included the production file and contacted carpenter regarding this job.
The wallpaper and plants are giving a sense of nature to this area.
CURTAINS
Are in two different colors to add to the playfulness of the space.
DECORATION / PLANTS
The plants are located in the dining are on the plant holder and on the floor. It would be great to put tall plants along the longer side of the balcony to hide the view to the building and get some privacy.
In this design, there are two big painting frames. However, feel free to keep placing more paintings on the west wall.
ENTRY WAY
There are a shoe cabinet and a stool. Additionally, there is a print on the entry way floor to distinguish between living space and entrance. This should remind your guests to take off their shoes. Above the cabinet, there is a stylish mirror. The items are a light color to light up this space.
BALCONY
On the balcony, there is storage with DIY and arts and crafts corner. There is a stool, coffee table and two chairs to enjoy warm days. There is a rug to keep your feet warm even in cold days. It would be great to put tall plants along the longer side of the balcony to hide the view to a building across, get some privacy and fresh air.
AC MASK
The AC is hidden behind the light perforated mask. The pattern for perforation is modernized parametric floral regency pattern. This will allow the air to go through. However, this will for sure reduce a bit the effect of AC. For this reason, the middle part of the mask has an opening mechanism allowing you to lift it up. With the perforation, this is the perfect place to put the light behind. I have included the production file and contacted carpenter regarding this job.
SUMMARY
Thanks for your time and for going through this! Hope it was as fun as it was for me.
Enjoy!
