BRINGING IN NEW OPTIONS - NEW SCHEMES, CONCEPT BOARDS

So here we are weeks later into our search for the perfect Design Scheme & many phone conversations and emails later we were able to pin down on some finishes and looks and proposed 2 DESIGN OPTIONS to the clients. Both had many likeable characteristics in them and we were very excited to present them.

But before all that let’s take you to the Pinterest Board we all collaborated in! We started with few neat Pins and it grew very quickly into a multitude of ideas! Visit HERE to view the Pinned Board. Or better click on the images below

THE MOOD BOARDS … AKA CONCEPT BOARDS

We presented our mood boards and explained our vision of what we as Designers envisioned and came up with by putting together our clients’ input, our research and our own creativity as well.

At this point we have to tell you (our audience) that MOOD Boards or CONCEPT Boards are not the ultimate Design Scheme. This will change quite a bit and we knew that. And a Project like this is always a journey. We give ideas, we look at it from different angles, bring together finishes, present, discuss and then transform via selection and elimination. We were up for that and hence … went ahead with brave hearts and fearless voices!
