This week in interior design we created blogs. Our job was to visit 3 of the top 100 design blogs and determine which ones most appealed to us. I think interior designers would like to have blogs to show people what their styles are.
The blog that most appealed to me is called 20+ beautiful modern staircases by the design milk blog. I especially like the look of the stairs that are attached to the wall so it looks like they are floating, I have seen this kind of style called space saving, but I like it because it looks cool.
The second blog that I liked is called LikeModern Design.com Blog. I like the overall look of everything modern, I think in this new age modern is the best choice (for me).
Lastly, my third favorite blog is called Living With White. This blog shows interior design where everything is white, and sometimes with a little splash of color. I like this because I think the conservative splashes of color are even more vibrant, have more meaning, and stand out even more when everything else is white.

Mood Board

modern?
This week in interior design we are learning about how to use olioboard. Olioboard is a website that allows you to create rooms and express your own personal style using a large variety of items. I made a mood board using this website. A mood board is something that interior designers use to reflect personal style by showing things that you like, such as different color schemes or styles. I also took a “HGTV What’s My Style” survey. This survey asks questions such as what kind of home I would prefer, using multiple pictures. My end results were that my style is midcentury mod, Open, airy, organic spaces, all about form and function. Sophisticated and sleek yet approachable, and alluring. My mood board reflects my style because it is modern. I feel that I enjoy things that are modern. I also like the look of mostly black, white, and glass look, but with a few very bright, almost/sometimes neon colors splashing bits of excitement into the room. I relate this to my personality because I like to do new exciting things. My mood board virtual room would cost about $10,503 in real life. In conclusion, I feel that the mood board is a good way to express, display, and see what your style would cost.
