Living Space Design

My lounge space was one of the least dramatic spaces I created, as I figure that it is the least personal space, the space Is more sophisticated and muted compared to various other bold installation spaces around the house. I think that Gretchen’s work is very solitary, and I want my spaces to be experienced solitary, to be fully absorbed in the large scale colour installations.

If guests were to visit, this is where they would likely be situated, so I kept it relatively simple, as it bleeds on to various other bold spaces, such as the yellow reading nook. I chose to create this teal stained herringbone wall, featuring panelling too cast shadows creating a tonal shift across the wall, where one colour becomes multiple.

I have utilised the back wall space to allow plenty of light in, and also created a sliding door composed of tinted green glass to reflect the use of this material in the reading nook, as they are positioned parallel to one another, I also wanted to add colour to the space with a sense of layering, and I think transparency and glass is a great way to create layering and the bleeding of colours together.

This space is intended to be a comfort space as it is the living room, but is entirely adaptable as there are no fixed items defining the space and fixing them to a room type. Because the space is currently a living space I have intentionally raising it as I have done with various other spaces in the house, this compressed the space, and allows the bold teal wall to occupy more of the view and area, through its form and reflection of colour across the space.📷📷
