It is noticable that I don't tend to use much colour within my work. I usually opt for black, white and greys with accent colours. I do like this colour scheme alot, it looks very modern and effect however I feel it is important I challenge myself more by doing somthing different. This would involve using colour in my work which is somthing I find difficult. I am going to look at different colours and how they go together within an interior to compliment/contrast each other.
Another important feature I don't pay enough attention too is lighting. Lighting within an interior is key, it can be essential to create the right sort of atmosphere.
Here are some images of colourful interiors.
Different types of lighting
Downlighters - Usually used within kitchens, bathrooms, shops etc. They can be in rows and look quite formal. There not particularly suitable for use within bedrooms etc as the lights are very harsh.
Pendant lights- These usually hang from the centre of the room. Used alone, they're the main cause of the 'interrogation cell' look. Although they're a good starter for general lighting, they need a boost from other sources.
They tend to flatten shadows and cast a dim light. It helps to fit a dimmer or hang them on an adjustable flex so you can change the height or clip them out of the way. They come in a myriad of styles, from the ubiquitous paper lantern to chandeliers.
