Room Spotlight | Corner Retreat 🌿✨ Happy Wed

Room Spotlight | Corner Retreat 🌿✨

Happy Wednesday! Let’s dive into a room design breakdown, shall we?

Imagine sinking into plush cushions, surrounded by soft textures and warm hues. This cozy corner was designed to evoke a sense of calm and relaxation.

🏡Key Elements 🏡
•Furniture : simple poofs create a seating area nestled between the wall and the dresser

•Colour Palette : Notice how the room is painted grey and other neutrals are found in the space, allowing for the yellow cushions and bright green plants to stand out and add personality to the room

•Texture Variety : Faux furs against the simple fabrics of the cushions creates a textural contrast. Each element adds tactile richness and enhances the overall coziness

•Natural Elements : Plants! Integrate nature with potted plants or botanical prints to bring an organic touch, adding tranquility to the room

•Ambient Lighting : Highlighting the importance of lighting, the room has a large window (not shown) and strategically placed hanging lamps that cast a warm glow, contributing to the inviting atmosphere

From the carefully curated decor to the inviting layout, every element in this Cozy Corner aims to create a haven of raxation✨

What’s your go-to element for creating a cozy space in your home? Is it cushions, warm lighting, maybe furniture? Share your cozy essentials below! 👇🏻🏡✨

☀️Motivation Monday | Design Edition ☀️

Architecture and Interior Design is the journey where creativity meets purpose. Remember that it’s not just about picking colours and patterns; it’s about crafting experiences and telling stories through those spaces.

Embrace the learning curves, relish the challenges, and savour the little victories. Each project you work on, big or small, brings you one step closer to becoming the designer you aspire to be. ❤️

Industry Insiders 💡

January is always crunch time for new students looking to pursue architecture as a profession (please get some sleep before submitting your portfolio).

Whether youre fresh out of high school or entering masters, there are 5 types of architecture related jobs you should know about before taking the plunge:

1. Residential Architecture
2. Commercial Architecture
3. Landscape Architecture
4. Interior Design
5. Urban Planning

Each job has its own focus and key features that are worth exploring. It’s important for you to know which one resonates most with you as they don’t always have the same academic or careers paths!
