Analysis of the Brief
Analysis of Brief:
Throughout our unit of Design a Space, we are required to
determine a client and re-design a space which the client wants to
re-design. After talking to the client about their needs and wants,
we are required to re-design the space into a more suitable living
space that meets the requirements of the client.
My client is , she is a mother of two and would like her daughter’s
room to be re-designed into a sunroom/living room. Since her
daughter wants to move into a different room, she would like to
make the front room a sunroom because of its sunlight. She
requires that the design of the sunroom is simple and that she is
able to socialize with friends and family in it. She would like it to be
a comfort area, with a television and sound system.

Client Profile:
Name:

Children:
Address of space: George st Sydney
Room of space: Daughters room, which is going to
become a sunroom.
Basic information:
lives in Sydney with her two children. is in year 12
and is in year 6.
As her daughter’s room is at the front of the house, a
lot of sunlight comes into it in the mornings. There is
also a view of the water and harbour from the room.
Therefore has decided to move her daughter into a
spare bedroom, and making the front room, a nice
simple sunroom. Since is an artist, she already
knows what kinds of colours compliment each other,
and what kind of trends she wants.

Analysis of colours, trends and concept boards:
Colour Boards:
My client has decided that the best colour board to go with the sunroom
was the brown colour, the first one. The inspiration picture on this
colour board is what has inspired my client’s colour choices. She also
liked the aqua colours on the second colour board. She didn’t really like
the green and yellow colour board as the colours were too bright and
too vibrate for a simple sunroom.
Trend Boards:
Out of all the trend boards my client, liked the second one. She said
that this was because of the simple designs and that there were only
one or two main colours. She also liked this trend board better than the
other because they suited a sunroom better, and since the children are
going to move out soon, she thought it wouldn’t be appropriate to have
the fun, kiddy trend board.
I also think that this trend board is the best one, but I also like the third
one. The third, Mix n’ Match one, is a lot more colourful and using
different materials that all stand out.
Concept Board:
After I showed my client the final concept board, she really liked it. She
thought that the neutral colours went really well with the aqua colour.
Out of all the materials I showed my client, she chose the one that is on
the concept board because they mix both the aqua colour with the
neutral brown colours. The two buttons that are on the concept board
are two colours that my client really liked. After I showed them to her,
she decided that she wanted some cushions made out of material with
these two buttons used. She especially likes the blue and white checked
one.
I think that the ribbon on the trend board really goes with the theme of
the room. I like the idea of having a sunroom with neutral colours, and
have a couch with different patterned cushions, like in the photo at the
top of the concept board.

Design Specifications:
Considerations:
The budget – Since the budget is $5,000, we have to consider what kind of furniture we are
going to use and how expensive it will be.
The amount of furniture – if it will fit in the room and if people can move around the room
easily.
The colour and furniture compliment each other – we do this by researching and looking
around for different designs and colours that suit each other and also by asking the client
what kind of trend they would like.
I have to consider the amount of space that we have – eg. We can’t put a bed, couch and big
dining table in the room as it won’t fit.
Design
Consider who the users of the space are going to be – if a little baby or
toddler was using the space, then you would have to make the space baby Specifications
safe by putting
locks on the drawers and cupboards.
Amount of light and sunlight coming through the windows – we have make sure that the
curtains are light and that they can let enough light in to make the room complete.
Constraints:
Function:
The furniture has to all function properly, and the furniture needs to be able to access, for
example a
couch can’t be put in front of a chest of draws, as you wouldn’t be able to open it.
Electrical power points – I have to make sure that they are properly connected and that all the
electrical appliances that are going to be in the room, are close to the power points, so that
we don’t have extension power cords everywhere.

Materials:
The materials should be durable and strong.
If I was to have carpet, the carpet should be a dark colour, so
that if something is spilt on it, you can’t see it.
The materials must suit the client’s wants and needs, and must suit the trend that you are
going for.
We can only use the materials that we find, eg. we can’t use materials that are only available
in America
Appearance:
Should have good aesthetics and suit the client’s decision.
Must go well with the wall and ceiling colour – comparing the colour
schemes to the furniture colours
Safety:
Make sure that everything in the room is child safe, as the client has children
Nothing should get in the way of people’s entry and exits – We can prevent by testing for a
clear pathway, also by making an invisible path where no furniture is allowed to be placed.
Opportunities:
Personal Opportunities:
I will develop better skills in interior design. I will also be able to better my skills in drawing
floor plans, measuring building space and then drawing the existing furniture. I am also aware
of finance and the cost of different materials and furniture.
Product Opportunities:
A new space will be re-designed for my client. This new room will allow more living area and
family space. I think that this new room will let a lot more sunlight in and the contrast of the
room will match so that it looks simple but elegant.
