Emma and Jorge Rodriguez First Apartment
Embedded Files
CLIENT PROFILE:
Emma and Jorge are moving into their first apartment as a couple. Located in Midtown, it's an urban area with places to explore within walking distance and attractive to young professionals.
The apartment features neutral walls, white trim, and dark wood floors. They can paint the walls but should maintain the transitional style of the dark cabinets, contrasting light granite countertops, and matching small pendant lights over the kitchen peninsula.
Emma likes a bohemian style and modern furniture. He prefers a more traditional style, but has a print purchased in Guadalajara, Mexico, that he wants to use to highlight his family's heritage and culture. Their styles should integrate to create a space that represents both.
DESING CHALLENGES:
Bohemian, Modern and Mexican Vibes Similarities:
Both styles embrace rich textures through woven fabrics, rugs, and handcrafted decor.
Use of Natural Materials: Wood, rattan, clay, and other natural materials are key elements in both aesthetics.
Both styles draw from cultural inspirations and craftsmanship, celebrating art and tradition in their design.
Both styles prioritize creating spaces that are visually dynamic and full of personality.
Handmade Elements.
TERMS
Hues and Color Temperature:
A harmonious blend of hues, warm browns in the wooden furniture, soft beiges in the wicker pieces, and vibrant greens from the plants. Splash of multicolored hues, from the textiles, trying the palette together.
Value:
The values vary across the pieces, balancing lighter tones, with darker ones. This variation creates depth and visual interest in the arrangement.
Chroma:
There's a spectrum of chroma with vibrant and high-chroma elements like textiles, which energize the scene, while muted, low-chroma items like the furniture and geometric rug ground the composition in earthy tones.
Color Schemes:
The overall color scheme combines complementary and analogous relationships. The cool blue hues harmonize with warm wooden tones, while the green accents provide a natural complement. The interplay of stripes and geometric patterns further enriches the scheme.
Contrast or Tone on Tone:
Contrast is evident in the juxtaposition of the dark sofa against lighter furniture. Tone-on-tone is subtle, showcased in the wicker and rug's similar hues, blending smoothly without overpowering.
