floor plans

So I know spring break I went back to the drawing board this past week for several rooms around the house. As long as I get the okay to do it my mother’s living room will be cream colored with and accent wall of a shade of brown, and will use a dark chocolate as the accent color around the room. My room will remain a white wall but with black accents (desk, shelves, frames, closet curtain, and bed spread); otherwise I’m using bright and fun colors. Also I’m using polka dots and some graffiti that a friend drew up for me. I will get a couple pictures up to see later on.
The one thing I can’t stress enough for myself is to sketch the mural you want and have the colors planned before going to actually do it in paint. It’s as well important to plan a whole room out that way you don’t start it and get it halfway done when you decide it doesn’t look right. When you make a floor plan it’s easier to know how much space you have to work with, how much material you need to get the job done, and experiment with colors.
Selecting a floor plan might seem like an easy process, until you move in and find that the foyer is too narrow or the kitchen island is too close to the refrigerator door. Among the factors to think about are the daily routine, the way you entertain, the age of any children, and the presence of pets. Furniture is an important consideration throughout the house, as it can dictate room size or configuration. Those with large pieces of furniture should think about where their prized pieces will fit. Is there a wall large enough for the entertainment center or the sectional couches? Picking the "right" floor plan is an important decision that sometimes is overlooked in the frenzy of house hunting. Take some time to think through the many variables that go into finding the perfect floor plan for you.

I chose interior design/decorating for many reasons. First I really think its something id enjoy doing for a large chunk of my life, and as well be happy while doing it. Also I just find it fun in general to design the insides of houses. First started a little my self by redoing my room and I’m still in the process working on it. Then I started to design my grandma’s house which she wanted done and in result I’ve done every room but the kitchen, which I’m planning on doing. I just find the job very entertaining and something that you’re not doing the same thing over and over again each time, day after day. I feel that in order to become one you want to make sure you get along with others, willing to change ideas to work with the customer, can draw, and are able to manage a budget. I got started by watching shows, such as, Trading Spaces and Extreme Makeover. I personally think there are advantages to both shows. Trading Spaces is more modern and could be done in any room and on Extreme Makeover the do rooms that fit everyone as well as some very creative rooms you probably wouldn’t see in most houses.
If you’re asking yourself like I am, what if it doesn’t work out then what? I have a few other paths I’m considering. If it didn’t work id probably do landscaping, photography, or cake decorating. I guess, in general if I really think about it I really like design and creativity. I enjoy helping others and I feel if I do interior design I can help with things some people wouldn’t do or have no idea how to do it. I know it won’t be an easy thing to accomplish, but I think about it as it’s something you want to do so you’re going to do it. While doing some research previously I’ve found that it’s possible to get into interior design without actually taking a program for it, but it’s required to have some type of formal education.
As well I highly recommend if you’re planning on taking interior design that you also get an education in interior decorating as well. You may think they are the came thing but its not. Interior designer job is to organizing a space to suit its function, making sure that designs match are in compliance with building and safety codes, managing the construction and installation of a design, and a few others. And interior decorator is primarily concerned with surface decoration -- paint, fabric, furnishings, lighting and other materials.
