Sign Me Up #3

This week in Interior Design we learned about the different housing styles that are out there. the physical needs a house needs to meet are shelter, sleep, food, storage, and safety. the psychological needs for a house are love and belonging, privacy, identity, and creativity. The life style is the stages of life from infant to old age, and they include: young adult, young families, launching, and empty nesters.

The house for age 20 would be this: 

It would be an apartment of some sort or town home because young people just getting their families started cannot afford a house or other situation. 

The house for age 33 would be this: 

It is what people this age can afford, while still having money for other things. They probably would also be starting their first families. 

The house for age 42 would be this: 

It would be a modern, sleek, large design because people would have the money to support it, and want that in their lives. 

The house for age 75 would be this: 

It would be a cottage or small home because it makes it easier to clean, and also is easier to maintain. 

There are many different housing styles to choose from, but these would probably be along the lines of what I would choose.

This week in interior design we started blogging, as well as looking at other blogs. All of which were interior design orientated. We chose to have a blog because it was required for interior design class.



The first blog I visited was at http://freshome.com/ I found  (http://freshome.com/2015/02/02/charming-log-residence-in-colorado-unveiling-spectacular-contemporary-style-rooms/) this casual log house that was cool and snazzy looking. Every room looks really cool and flows nicely.




Another blog I visited was http://deardesigner.co.uk/ . They have modern things that are more much snazz. They also use a lot of black and white which is a sign me up situation.











The last blog I visited was http://decoratorondemand.blogspot.com/ and they have some really cool ideas including copper sinks.

These are some of the first blogs we are exploring and so far its off to a great start.

This week in interior design we learned what a mood board is (a way to share your design ideas and create rooms), and also started playing around with olioboard. Olioboard is an online, interior design, mood board creator where users can create 2D and 3D room designs using real products from all their favorite brands. Olioboard is cool because they are real products that you can go buy right there. Interior designers use mood boards because telepathy is not an option, and it shows the designer what they are thinking. We just played around with the different tools and different objects.
