Design Brief

• I am redesigning a master bedroom for my clients
  and (age 40). The couple has three children and
  lives in the Sydney. This Sydney area prides
  itself on its natural beauty of parklands and
  spectacular water surroundings. The children are
  between the age of 15-20 and both parents work.
  They are getting prepared to put their house on
  the market and so I have been asked to generate a
  much needed update in order to make the space
  more aesthetically pleasing whist remaining a
  practical setup to entice future buyers and
  hopefully add value to the residence.

I will design and produce a 3D model which will
represent my clients space in response to their
needs and wants. I will also take into account
their budget and the time of 11 weeks in which I
have to complete it by. Regular interviews with
and will help me understand what they are
looking for and if any changes need to me made.
These will be recorded on a log sheet. I will
collect my inspiration from magazines and
research on the internet. In my design I will
explore the use of textiles, furniture, paint and
other materials.

Client Profile

• Name and
• Age 40- 40
• My clients are happily married, parents of 3,
  working couple .They currently live in Sydney.
  and both work and are an interest in art and
  design. The couple are currently preparing to put
  their house on the market and so therefore need
  some updating in the rooms of the house in order
  to boost the value of the house. the decided
  maximum budget for this make over is 10,000.
  this will include the costs of subcontractors,
  painters, materials, furniture and electrical
  appliances.
• Their existing bedroom is lacking style, they
  both want to achieve a sophisticated but pretty
  environment to spend time in. Some influences are
  Laura Ashley and Ralph Lauren. They also want
  their redesigned bedroom to fit well with the
  style of the rest of the house. The home was
  built in 1888 and is a sandstone two story house
  and the interior has been renovated over the
  years and currently a French provincial style.

Design Specifications

• Considerations and Constraints
• Time I have to consider the time of 11 weeks to
  completely finish my space. An action and time
  plan is necessary in order to arrange my time so
  I can meet the deadline.
• Size I must take into account the size of my
  space hen designing.
• Function my space has to function therefore
  people have to be able to wake through the space
  easily and all appliance must work as well.
• Budget I have to consider the amount of money I
  have been given to spend (10000) I have to
  construct a finance plan in order to manage my
  money responsibly. Purchase materials and
  appliances wisely and shop around for the best
  deals

Safety- the safety of the workers and clients is
very important. I will ensure this by checking
all workers are wearing safety equipment and
before the completion of the space I will get a
safety inspector in to check if it is not
dangerous to the clients. Clients wants and needs
I am redesigning a space for my client not me
so I have to cater for what they want and need.
The arrangement of meetings with the client is
very necessary in order to create a place that is
idea for them. Materials - I have to consider the
materials available and the materials that are
still within the budget. This means I have to
shop around and find the best deals for my client.

OPPORTUNITIES PERSONAL OPPORTUNITIES Skill
Development as this is my first time doing
interior design I have a lot to learn and skills
to develop. It is a great opportunity to lean
about colour schemes, managing money through a
finance plan and interacting with a client to
create an ideal space for them using their needs
and wants. I will also develop my skills on
sketching and perspective drawings. I am
interested in being an interior designer one day
so this is a good opportunity to see if it is
what I want to do. I will treat this as if it is
real like and deal with all the ups and downs
that are involved in this area of work. E.g.
sub-contractors, deadlines, budgets etc. PRODUCT
OPPORTUNITIES I was hired by the client to
redesign their space in hoping that this updating
would boost the value of their house as it is
going on the market soon. This will mean that
more use will become of the room as the
environment is more aesthetic and functional.

Analysis Of Concept Board

• After researching all different colours and
  trends I have a variety to show my client and
  when I did it was obvious which ones they liked
  and which they disliked. They favored the cooler
  blues, greens and aquas in combinations with the
  crisp creamy whites over the bold reds and
  yellows. As for the trends boards my client did
  not like the eclectic bold look or the ultra
  modern look instead my client loved the
  classical, elegant French - modern style as not
  only was it beautiful and feminine but it fitted
  in with the rest of the house.
• I will keep all this in mind when designing my
  clients bedroom to ensure that they are happy and
  satisfied with the final product.
