Colour.


This was a client based brief in which I created a coordinating interior collection for a clients home. As the project name suggests, It incorporated a lot of colour exploration, such as colour mixing, creating colour palettes and dying fabrics to a specific shade. Designing the appropriate colour palette for the client was the integral aspect of this project.

The fictitious client I worked for - 'Sophie' - loved mixing antique objects and vintage items with contemporary designer pieces. I took a lot of inspiration from a wide range of interesting objects I sourced such as vintage perfume bottles, jewellery, ornate picture frames and even an old sewing kit. I used this initial vintage inspiration but added a contemporary flare. I took on quite an illustrative style for this project, producing highly detailed, intricate, quite whimsical drawings, but incorporated bold geometrics and graphic kaleidoscope prints to bring the contemporary edge. The final colour palette for this collection comprised of a rich selection of metallics, jewel tones and soft pastels reflecting the initial inspiration, but incorporated flashes of bright red to give it a twist of modernity.
