Design Project- Mid Century Modern meets Nature

For my Interior Design class, I combined the raw natural elements of the great outdoors with the clean crisp lines of mid century modern design.  I played with textures and patterns creating a warm and inviting interior.  

The Great Room

White walls contrasted with deep velvet couches and chairs and a beautiful wood plank ceiling.

The Dining Room

Black lacquer walls with natural tones in the draperies and a great basket weave floor.

The Floor Plan and Reading Room.

The Reading Room combines all the mid brown tones mixing textures and patterns.  I used a great herringbone textile wallcovering that warms up the room.

A Finished Floor Plan

For my rendering class I created a floor plan for a house located in the Arizona desert.  Since it was a floor plan I wanted to focus on putting different textures onto the floor.  I was really excited to experiment with terra cotta tiles.  It was fun using a handful of markers and blending them together to create the various hues of the tiles.  I kept the color scheme in neutral tones and contrasted it with the white walls and pops of blues.  For the exterior I brightened up the desert landscape with bright pops of tropical plants and deep blue planters.  And no desert house is complete without a blue tiled pool to cool off in those hot summer days.

Be Bold in your Designs.
