Great Gatsby Room

This week in Interior Design our task was to create a room inspired by the the movie the Great Gatsby for a client using the website http://www.polyvore.com/. For my first board I chose the colors black and white and used red and gold for a bold pop of color. According to the website https://us.farrow-ball.com/the-great-gatsby/content/fcp-content the sophisticated glamour effect is created through light colors balanced with bursts of bold colors. I also incorporated the gold arches on the wall the create the effect of a high ceiling constructing a high glam feel. The addition of the arches and the curves in the furniture add a sense of elegance to the room.(http://www.hollestewartdesign.com/add-sparkle-and-glamour-to-your-home-interiors).             

For my second board I went for a homier aspect displayed though out the room. I added a busy textured pattern for an accent wall and balanced it with a bold mirror centerpiece. I used the curtains, candles, and vase to accent the mirror. This design relates to the Great Gatsby because of the neutral colors (black and white) blended with strong colors of gold (https://us.farrow-ball.com/the-great-gatsby/content/fcp-content). Also because of the addition of standout pieces balancing with the textures (http://www.hollestewartdesign.com/add-sparkle-and-glamour-to-your-home-interiors/).
