lies at the core. The college has stood as a beacon of serious critical
engagement, a key enabler in developing competent professionals in the
field of design, management and information technology. Dezyne E’cole
started in the year 2008 with only four rooms and with a strength of 10
students enrolled in the fashion and interior design Diploma Programme.
In the year 2009 the school was granted Bachelor and Master’s Degree
in Fashion and Interior Design by the Mewar University, Chittorgarh.
Further the college was given the authority by the government of
Rajasthan in the year 2010 to use the word College and since then
Dezyne E’cole College became the name. In the year 2011 college
expanded further and was declared a regular college with the granting of
authority by the university of Ajmer. This led to the expansion of college
and addition of two more courses with Dezyne E’cole, the Department of
Administration(BBA), and Information Technology leading to award of
Bachelors Degree in Computer Application was added. From then until
now, Dezyne E’cole has scaled high academic standards. The faculty
resource of the college has grown into a community of leading

A house is a place where a person behaves in his natural form and is
mainly for providing shelter. Since prehistoric times, human beings
looked for shelter, For Example, The Caves or the meticulously Planned
Towns of Mohenjo-Daro Harappa.
To the present day houses which have grown up more luxurious and
beautiful.
For a man’s house is his castle, wrote Sir Edward Coke. This sentence
was coined by him in the 17th century and since then we have a beautiful
heritage of something known as a Period House, starting from or
beginning with the Tudor and the Jacobean Style from the year 1485 to
1625. This period let towards the development of Sophisticated
Structure and Classicized Decoration. This period saw the development
of the increased specialization of how a room functions within a house. In
the middle ages, the king would live in one big room where he would eat,
sleep and conduct affairs of state. Fabric Hangings was considered
inappropriate for the rooms in which people ate, as they tended to retain
the smell of the food. During this time Timber, Bricks and Stones were
used. The stone houses had less decoration than the timber one’s, as
stone was more difficult and expensive to carve. During this period the
Bay Window came into being along with the Oriel Windows.
People used built in furniture during this time. The Tudor and Jacobean
Period was followed by Baroque Period (1625-1714). This period had
the development of Courtly Style, this style had the development of
rooms as basement, the Piano Nobile (main reception floor) and Attic
(top floor). The Piano Nobile had pediment windows and very high
height. It was the area where the ceremonial works taken up.
This period had grand carved entrance with the use of acanthus leaves
and bulging fruits. This time period had the designs created by famous
artist Michelangelo. This period was followed by Early Georgian,
Colonial, British Victorian, Edwardian, Art Noveau, the Modern
Movement played an important role in the design industry with designers
like Walter Gropius, Le Corbusier, Louis Kahn and Frank Lloyd Wright.
There contribution lead to meticulously designed houses with proper
planning and consideration to functionality with well developed clean
uncluttered spaces, electrical wiring buried in the structure along with the
proper plumbing and water disposal.
Introduction

Metal Windows with large glass panes, health, hygienic and efficient
homes were developed. Sullivan‟s disciple Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-
1959), designed buildings which relied more on spaces and form. This
kind of design made the great impression on Walter Gropius (1183-
1969), Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe (1886-1969). The defined the
doctrine of Modernism in the 1920‟s.
Louis Kahn came up with the idea of design development of Interior
spaces focusing more on served and servant spaces. He believed that
the served space should have the servant areas near to it so that the
functionality of the room increases.
For Example - The Living room having the servant areas as kitchens and
toilets.
This concept of his along with the other ideas has been popular till today.
After the World War II In 1940 rational planning and economy were
combined with high standards of mechanical services in housing project
where the designers were more concerned with how a building perform
than whether it look modern. The modern movement sought to eliminate
extra detailing and focused more on simplicity with the advancement of
prefabricated materials like plywood, glass and other materials
developed a design area where more of fresh air and maximum sunlight
were prerequisite. One of the best characteristic which developed in the
first phase of Modernism was the elimination of the patterns and textures
on walls. People used smooth plaster, glass brick and room dividers in
apartments with open plan layout.
All this required a development of well educated work force that could
support the interior design industry and this lead to the development from
the Indian Government to take interest in the design field.
The Indian Government has formulated a body known as Indian Design
Council which plays an important Design Council at IIT Mumbai in the
year 1969 for initiating the Post Graduate Program in Industrial Design.
But prior to setting industrial design education the development of art and
design in India developed in the year 1840. The first art school Known
as the Bombay Art School (1857) now known as Sir JJ School of Arts,
the college of Arts Calcutta catered to the Indian Design Development.
In the Year 1913 Kala Bhawan, the Art College was setup as part of
Shanti Niketan by he Tagore family. Not only this, in the year 1922
Rabindra Nath Tagore met Walter Gropius and invited him for an
exhibition to India. In 1958, the Government of India invited Charles and
Ray Eames to train the small industries to develop the craft and small
scale industry which resulted in the development of India.

Design Report. In the year 1960, based on the Report of Charles and
Ray Eames, the Government of India setup the National Institute of
Design (NID, Ahmadabad). In 1987 the Ministry of Textiles setup the
National Institute of Fashion Technology in Delhi (NIFT). In the year
1997, the full fledged department of design with Bachelor in Design,
Master in Design and the Doctoral Degrees came up at IIT, Mumbai.
Form the year 1999 the private design schools along with the state
universities started developing students with the formal design education.
For Example - Kohler, Duravit, Kitchen World, Hacker Kitchens,Etc.
We would see the development of a specialized market being developed
for the customers like Bathroom solutions, Kitchen solutions, Bedroom
and Closet Design Solutions. These solutions provided by the Industries
are not tailor made. To make the design as per the Indian Client the
Interior Designer has to study the Indian Environment, the Client, his
Needs, Budget and then device a design which is customer friendly at
the same time functional as per the Indian needs. After all house is a
place where by the end of the client should be able to relax and be fresh.
It is not a zone to be developed to show off the neighbours.

Residential Design
“A Good surrounding makes a person love life and live better.” He
becomes more concentrated and his efficiency increase as the space
makes all this difference and this is what we need to pay attention to in
the homes too that is the residential spaces. It is a space where a
person relaxed after a day‟s hard work and wants to be charged, fresh,
confident for the next day. All this can be achieved if he has the house
designed as per his needs that is a space that nurtures a human being
into a more efficient person this is what is interior design or design of
spaces “where a man does not adjust the house but the house adjust
with the person” very correctly said by a very well known designer of the
world Le Corbusier (the person behind designing the city of Chandigarh),
machine for living.
In earlier times the designing was done by painters like Michelangelo
who worked with Golden mean but human dimensions were not
considered. Then later designers worked on the Principal of
anthropometrics (human dimensions) and ergonomics (study of human
dimensions to create any design) of which they got idea from furniture
designing.
A Quote by a Scottish Architect, Darcy Braddell attempted, in his 1932
book
“How to Look at Buildings,” to help people understand why some building
seem to “feel right” while other do not. He felt that proper and considered
proportions were much more important than anything else. Further, he
held that “every part must make up a whole that no one thing is beautiful
in itself, that restraint is superior to excess and that selection is the key to
design.”

The Work of Interior Designer
Interior Design is a practice of bringing in best visual appeal and best
utilization of a space keeping the clients views and needs in mind.
1. The work of Interior designer is manipulation of spaces keeping
Manipulation of spaces keeping in mind the Orientation of the Building,
Building Envelope.
2. Emphasis on Planning.
3. Making a Green Building so as it can contribute to the Environment.
4. Create spaces which means “Machines for Living” said by
“Le Corbusier” (The person behind designing the city of Chandigarh.)
5. Connectivity Between the spaces, space which increases the efficiency
of a Human Being.
6. Focuses on Working Drawings, Specification, Orthographic Projections,
Axonometric views and Perspective Drawings etc.

Basic knowledge
Components of a Building- I have studied about Components of a
building. A building can be divided in two parts.
(i) Sub- structure
(ii) Super structure
The portion of the building below the surrounding ground is known as
sub structure and the portion above the ground is termed as super
structure. The components of a building are- foundation, plinth, walls,
doors and windows, stairs, roof etc.
 Foundation- Foundation is the lowest part of a structure below the
ground level which is in direct contact with the ground and transmits all
the dead, live and other loads to the soil on which the structure rests.

Elements and principles of design
The elements are point, line, form, shapes, movements, colour, pattern,
texture. They are very important for designing. I have deeply studies about
colour and texture. In colour and texture I gained knowledge about colour
schemes, colour key, colour wheel, texture wheel etc. I created assignments on
elements on design.
After the elements of design I have learnt about principles of designing. The
principles are concept used to organize or arrange the structural element of
design.
The principle is balance, proportion, rhythm, emphasis, harmony and unity.
They
have a very important role in designing without using principles of design we
cannot create any design.
Radiation

Plinth- I have also study about the plinth, the portion of the building
between the ground surrounding the building and the
top of the floor immediately above the ground is known as plinth.
Walls - I have also studied about walls, the cavity walls which act as
a Thermal Insulation as well as the Sound Insulation. It consists of two
walls with a 5cm to 8cm cavity between them.
Exterior wall
Interior wallCavity wall

Doors and Windows- I have also studied about the various types of
doors and windows and to understand them better. A door define as a
barrier secured in an opening left in a wall to provide usual means of
access to a building room or passage and A window purpose of providing
day- lighting ,and ventilation.
I had learnt about different types of doors and windows where they are
used And what materials are used to make a doors and windows.

Roof- I have also studied about roof , It is the upper most components
of a
building and its main function is to cover the space below and protect it
from rain, snow , sun , wind etc.
Bricks- I have studied about different types of brick bonds like English bond,
Flemish bond, stretcher bond, header bond etc.

Cement- I have also studied about cement, types of cement , uses of cement.
“Cement is considered as the best binding material.” Cement is available in
various types which are used for different purposes. These are :-
(i) Ordinary Portland or normal setting cement
(ii) Rapid hardening or high early strength Portland cement
(iii) Low heat cement
(iv) Quick setting cement
(v) High alumina cement
(vi) White cement
(vii) Coloured cement
(viii) Calcium chloride cement
(ix) Portland pozzolan cement
(x) Supper sulphated cement.
Mortars – I have also studied about mortars, the engineering structures like
walls, columns, arches, retaining walls, etc. are usually constructed of stone
blocks or bricks laid with suitable binding agent, known as mortar.
Mortars are usually named according to the binding material used in their
preparation. They are essentially required for masonry work, plastering and
pointing etc.
Concrete - I have also studied about Concrete , An artificial stone resulting
from hardening of a mixture of a binding material, fine aggregate , coarse
aggregate and water in suitable proportions is called concrete.
A good Portland cement or lime, clean sand and strong coarse aggregates are
necessary for making a good concrete.
Concretes are classified as given below:-
(i) According to binding material,
(ii) According to design,
(iii) According to purpose.

Art and Architecture History - In this I had studied how the planning and
designing came into being first of all design started in ancient period of the
Stone Age where people felt requirement of residence.
Time to time many new changes and improvements were bought along with
the age Mesolithic and Neolithic time period. A good water drainage system
was also used in those houses.
The houses were built with soil and stone and the roads crossed each other
at ninety degree.
With this I have studied about Indus Valley Civilisation, Egyptian Civilisation,
and Temple Architecture and also about different Artists and Painters and
studied how they had been built and what materials were used and what was
the purpose behind and how the Art was added with the Architecture.
Pyramids of Giza
Indus valley civilisation

Style of Interior Design - I studied about different types of styles like
Colonial style, Eclectic style, Gothic style, Minimalist style, etc.
Minimalist Style Interior
Eclectic Style InteriorGothic Style Interior

Planning Considerations
To design any Residential Area, proper planning and brain storming needs
to be done. The planning phase of a residence is the most important phase
because this leads to the development of the structures of the house based
on the shape and form chosen. The residence design should be planned
based on the needs of the person extent similar. When we see magazines
and books showcasing beautiful image of decorated rooms, a person feels
happy to see them. But Interior Designing is not so easy like the attractive
image of the book for designing a space we have to feel, analyse and
summarize the space. The design has to be functional so that the person
can feel the space, express him and at the same time enjoy a space.
In India we have a climate which is hot and dry throughout the year and
the sun shines brilliantly the whole year with winter months being less.
Hence it is this surrounding inside which the residence of a person would
exist. To device a proper interior design one must see the outside building
envelope along with the interior space so that we can achieve the client
requirements. A room which is more sun filled makes a person
happy than a space which is dull and dark. It is seen that the spaces with
less light (natural light) suffer from a condition known as SAD (Seasonal
Affective Disorder), characterized by depression, lethargies, fatigue and
other symptoms. Studies show students do better when the classes are
held in natural light such is the power of sun. I have here utilized daylight
factor while planning. As I said earlier in India the climate is dry and humid
at times throughout the year and the house is enveloped by these factors,
hence my main consideration of the project has been followed keeping into
mind the climatology of the place.
My Client’s house is situated in Mumbai and to device a proper Interior
Design I began with the factor of climate of this place also with that I
considered how much area is I am getting for designing a residence area for
my client.

The case study given to me is: -
You are supposed to design for an Interior Designer who has a 10
years of working experience as an entrepreneur. His office is
located in the posh locality of “Mumbai”. He is in age group of 35
and designs more of residential spaces. You are supposed to
design the residence of this interior designer who stays in a
studio apartment.
Name: Mr. Rao singhaniya
Age: 35 Yrs.
Sex: Male
Family Status: Single
Profession: Interior Designer (As a
Entrepreneur)
Living Style: High (As he lives in a Posh
Locality)
Climate: Out Side is Moderate
Hobbies: Listen Music, Cooking Food.
Case study
The space given for the working (planning + designing) is
20’x20’ i.e. 400 sq. feet.

Climatology
Climatology is the branch which deals with the climate and the
changes throughout the year of the weather.
The Design, execution and success of a project mainly depends on
the environmental factors enclosing the building and affecting its
internal and external environment as well as the inhabitants.
My client is situated in Mumbai ad to device it in a proper planning I
began with a factor of climate of this places.
Location of India
The location of India in the world is ‘North East’ direction.
Longitude: - 88°E to 98°E
Latitude: - 8°N to 37°N
Climate of India
The whole of India has Tropical Monsoonal Climate. Since the
greater part of the
county les within the tropics and climate is influenced by the
monsoon.
Location of Maharashtra
The location of Maharashtra in India is in ‘South East’ direction.
Longitude: - 76°E
Latitude: - 20°N
Climate of Maharashtra
The Maharashtra faces a tropical monsoon climate and with that it
also faces humidity

The climatology of the place is divided into two parts: -
Macro Climate: -
• The site is located in the city Mumbai in Maharashtra in India.
• The region lies near the Arabian Sea and in the zone nearby to the
Coastal Areas.
•Weather is tropical monsoon type with some amount of dryness and
•humidity and has tropical wet and dry vegetation.
Micro Climate: - Dealing with the micro elements of the site, it is found
that
• Summers are moderate and winters are quite cool.
•Both in summers as well as in winters, there is very less difference in
day and night temperatures.
• It has an average precipitation of. The mean maximum average
•temperatures in about 32°C in summer and 30°C in winter, while the
•average minimums are 25°C in summer and 20.5°C in winter, Mumbai
•experiences four distinct seasons: Winter (Dec-Feb); Summer (March-
•May); Monsoon (June-Sep); and Post Monsoon (Oct-Dec).
• High or more amount of rains with dryness and humidity.
• Apart from the micro climate which is in our control, which we can
change according to the place.
For Example – if south direction is a zone from where wind
prevails or which the direction of wind is, then if the water body is
situated in south, the wind entering in the house will be cool.
Beside this we can see that micro climate can be changed by
landscaping because when the rays of sun light fall on the green
grass it radiates the light and in a very little quantity it bring out the
heat back, therefore it makes the place less hot.

Orientation
Orientation of the building generally used to refer to solar orientation
which is the sitting of building with respect of solar excess a thought any
building will have different orientation for it different sides.
The orientation can refer to a particular room or to the most important
façade of the building.
The building orientation can have a impact on heating, lighting and
cooling costs. By maximum southern exposure for Example One can
take advantage of optimal advantage of the sum for daylight and passive
solar heating this will result in lower pooling cost by minimizing western
were it is most difficult to provide shade from the sun the designer must
consider all factors and site condition on, building orientation for Example
a building might have to take heed of multiple orientation factors
depending on function requirement designing for pooling load or heating
load. To take advantage of north may be oriented along a east west
excess but this may be counter to street lines and other side consideration,
orientation of the building entrance may have 2 respect
street access activities and local urban design guidelines.
For most reasons optimum façade orientation is typically south facing
glass is relatively easy to shade with a overhanging during the summer to
minimize solar heat brain, the light also can work well higher sun in the
southern expose north facing glass received good day lighting but
relatively little direction isolation so heat gain is less of a concern.
East and west window orientation and horizontal orientation (sky
light) all result in more heat grain in the summer than glare is also more
difficult to control for comfort because of law son angels in early moving
and late afternoon.

Building Envelope
The primary role of building Envelope is to separate different
environments, the interior from exterior by managing the flow of air,
moisture and heat between them.
The building envelope directly influences the energy performance of a
building in the following ways:
• Resisting undesirable hear transfer.
• Allowing desirable hear transfer.
• Allowing daylight penetration.
• Preventing undesirable light penetration (glare).
• Ventilation.

Ventilation
Good ventilation is important to achieve desired comfort conditions in a
building. Ventilation is the change of air in the room. Ventilation is essential
as it remove the air polluted by respiration. Ventilation may be achieved
by natural or artificial means . In case of natural ventilation the circulation
of air takes place through doors, windows and ventilators.
In case of artificial ventilation the change of air is effected by mechanical
means.

Day Lighting
Day lighting is the practice of placing windows or other openings and
reflective surfaces so that during the day natural light provides effective
internal lighting.
Particular attention is given to day lighting. While designing a building when
the aim is to maximize visual comfort or to reduce energy use. Energy saving
can be achieved either from the reduced use of artificial (electric) be
reduces by simply installing fewer electric lights automatically in response to
the presence of day lighting, a process known as day lighting harvesting.
Day lighting is a technical tern given to a common centuries-old,
geography and culture independent design basic when “rediscovered” by
20th century architects. The amount of day light received in an internal space
can be analyzed by undertaking a day light factor calculation. Today, the use
of computers and proprietary industry software such as Radiance can allow
an architect or Engineer to quickly undertake complex calculation to review
the benefit of a particular design.
Light give life to the every object. Light brings every other design element
into perspective, from architectural details and decoration to all you
perspective. Although you can light your name with an artificial lights
source. Natural lights is so important that we could not live without it 20% of
the U.S. population suffers from a look of natural light studies house shown
that student do letter when their class are held in natural light. Glass
opening we include in our homes that how much light enters, where it goes
& how it affects the interior design. Glass opening increase the visual space
of room it makes, interior space seems larges.

Rain Water Harvesting
Rain water harvesting is also another important factor of building envelope.
Landscaping, water body trees, etc. do help to control air and heat we have
discuss about these things in micro climate.
This Rain Water Harvesting system is followed in my client house. This is the
picture of Rain Water Harvesting

Planning consideration
Every human being has different personality that consists one or more
characteristics. Their personalities react differently in different environment or
with different people, consider a space as a person . Every space has its own
personality with several spatial characters that differ by projects. These characters
cause the space interact with other spaces in a certain manner. These
characteristics can be categorised as seven expressions of human behaviours.
1. LEADING / FOLLOWING : A person with leader quality attracts people to
follow. As the term , the space with a “LEADING” character gathers spaces that
relates to it (following) and forms a group. The “FOLLOWING” space only follows
the space with leading character, there is no relationship between following
spaces. For example, living rooms plays a role of leader and followers are
bedroom, kitchen etc.
2. GROUPING : People gather for a certain purpose same objective, interest or
goal by imitating this characteristic, the spaces that carry the same “GROUPING”
character gather as a group . These spaces are related to each other using the
previous example living room , bedroom, kitchen. Bathroom are group.

3. LONER : This character affects the space distance from groups for a
person who prefers more privacy and avoids social conversation and stays
away from crowd.
In this case the loner can a proper character to keep a distance from
certain spaces : living room, dining room or even other bedrooms.
4. SERVANT : A space that serves other spaces in some way that needs to
be adjacent to them but prefers not to appeal visually , which is in reality,
servant needs to be near to the master while stay out of the sight. As
depected in the figure overleaf. In most of the cases rest room plays a
servant role .

5. WATCHER : This type of character causes a space to locate beside the
boundary of the project for attraction in the environment . It is based on
human nature that people like to watch or get close to certain incidences. the
attractions can be parking , parks, lakes etc.
6. OUT REACHING : The space with this character locates near the enterance or
corridor for meeting or activities that relates to out reaching . This space is
used for welcoming. For example , living room

Or
ENTRANCE

7. WORKER : A space that offers supplies to other spaces. It is not necessary for
the space with this character to be adjacent to other spaces, but it needs to be
near to second enterance Or service enterance . For example, garage ,kitchen ,
etc.

Human dimensions
Anthropometry (from Greek anthropos, "man" and metron, "measure")
refers to the measurement of the human individual. An early tool
of physical anthropology, it has been used for identificion, for the
purposes of understanding human physical variation.
Today, anthropometry plays aatn important role in industrial
design, clothing design, ergonomics and architecture where statistical
data about the distribution of body dimensions in the population are
used to optimize products. Changes in lifestyles, nutrition, and ethnic
composition of populations lead to changes in the distribution of body
dimensions (e.g. the obesity epidemic), and require regular updating of
anthropometric data collections.
The word "Ergonomics" comes from two Greek words "ergon",
meaning work, and "nomos" meaning "laws". Today, however, the
word is used to describe the science of "designing the job to fit the
worker, not forcing the worker to fit the job." Ergonomics covers all
aspects of a job, from the physical stresses it places on joints,
muscles, nerves, tendons, bones and the like, to environmental
factors which can effect hearing, vision, and general comfort and
health.

Final Space Planning Layout
(with elevation papers)
In this that I space planned after analysing all the needs and demands
of the clients and followed all the elements and principles of design
and also followed the principles of “Louis Kahn” and also followed the
anthropometrics and ergonomics to create maximum positive space
from the all negative space present in my space provided then I also
kept in mind when space planning that is connectivity between the
spaces.
Also the major demand of my client was that he wanted a
multifunctional house so that he can make him comfortable in all
situations hence I used movable furniture for that purpose.
In the plan below of my client I had space planned I have provided
following spaces:
A living room that can be used as per his requirement as it is
multifunctional for purposes like gathering, entertainment, studying,
relaxing, parties, etc. also my living room can be transformed into a
bedroom as I have used sofa cum bed in my living room.
The bedroom provides lot of free space as I have used studio bed
instead of normal bed so that my client can create more space siting his
dynamic requirements. Also I have given a study table that can be used
for working and it can be used for lots of hours as its overviewing the
beauty of nature outside and my clients don’t feel boring at the times
of long working. With that my wardrobe or dressing are is connected to
suit his personal requirements and it is also easily linked with the
bathroom.
My bathroom has utilised less space as I have given all the facilities like
a shower enclosure, water closet (W.C.), a washbasin with a shelf.

The kitchen I space planned; I choosed a L-shaped kitchen so that his
working efficiency can be increased. Also the kitchen provided is not so
big as my client prefer take aways and sometime uses its kitchen like as
a satellite kitchen and uses it when there is a party or guest
appearance In the house.
I had attached a dining table that is linked with the both living and the
kitchen also the dining table created is built-in so that more free
circulation area can be provided and it can be used whenever my client
needs.
In addition of all these I had provided two vestibules for proper
circulation and in one vestibule a closet has been fitted and also I had
provided three windows in my structure so that adequate light and
ventilation is possible.

Style: COLONIAL STYLE
I choosed colonial style for my client’s house because as my client
wanted a higher end design layout where an elegant ambience could be
developed with an addition of sophisticated and at the same time
freshness in the studio apartment so that he recharges himself that’s
why I decide to reincarnate the Colonial time period in this modern
world and to create a timelessness design that is making a design which
is evergreen and does not get obsolete with passing of time.
Colonial interior design ideas can be sourced from American colonial
style or British colonial style.
American colonial interior design became popular throughout North
America during the early 18th century. The design replicates many of
the traditional European homes of that era and is heavily
influenced by early American farmhouses mixed with grand homes of
Old Europe to provide this sensational American decorating style.
There are two ways to go with this design concept as it can be both
rustic interior design or sophisticated. Rustic is the ‘everyday man’s’
home from that period and the alternative is a more luxurious look that
was then only available to those who could afford Influences of design
and architecture were brought to America from the England when
immigrants settled during that period and decorated their own homes.
Their lifestyle was reflected in their design simplified and practical.
The simplicity created light, spacious interiors with elegant clean lines.
There are several key characteristics of colonial interior design that can
be adapted to suit your home.
Woodwork: - Extensive handmade furniture and cabinets carved from
pine, birch or maple represent the colonial concept in a way that the
design itself was “honest” and remained simplistic. In other words, not
over complicated or over styled. Wide baseboards (or skirting boards)
are distinctive and look great with this concept.
Handmade quilts: - Quilting is such a beautiful way to celebrate
Americana decorating and family life. Quilts were used to decorate the
walls, laid on top beds and placed over sofas. You can recreate this look
by having a quilt made of your favourite fabrics, or add some interesting
throws and cushions into your finished look. The images

Uncluttered spaces: - Try to combine your objects and items with enough
free space so that you can enjoy looking at the ornamentation and
beautiful colours captured in you accessories. Otherwise your room(s)
may become overcrowded with pattern and colour. This is what we are
looking to avoid so make sure you allow yourself plenty of good storage.
Walls: - Commonly whitewashed with crown mouldings or dado rails.
Occasionally timber panelling was fitted. Sticking to muted paint colours
for walls and ceilings were ivory white. Wealthy homes had borders and
murals which had natural motifs of fruit and flowers much like those from
the arts and crafts style. This can easily be replicated by simple stencilling.
However walls are generally best kept simple so as to that wooden
furniture, handmade cabinets, antiques and ornamentation take the
limelight. Remember not to over fill room so that you create enough
spaces to enjoy your new design.
Floors: - Walnut, mahogany, and cherry are the main types of hardwood
flooring, accessorized with colourful hand-woven rugs. Those include
oriental style rugs. The rooms are nothing short of classical and
magnificent.
Note: the walls which are painted white however, the wooden panels
create a rich finish that you would expect to find in this design style.
Lighting: - Cast iron floor lamps, candle holders, wall fittings and beautiful
chandeliers similar to the one shown above are all used to create this
timeless style. There is a huge variety to select from so have fun browsing
for the perfect fittings.
