An Entryway

So I should mention that I am moving in about a year, I have no idea where to, and all I can do is dream up a design for basic rooms that I might find in a new apartment. How big rooms are and where windows will be is up for grabs of course, but I still like to design little arrangements of furniture that will do nicely.

Here's my first little quick photoshop of the front door area. And yes I know it looks quite big, that's because I've skewed the perspective part so it's easy to see. I'm sure the room will be much smaller and more compressed together.



And yes I know the colors are very bright, I'm sure the real thing will be much more toned down but I still want happy warm colors. The wall color could be anything warm, not necessarily baby pink, and I wouldn't mind a nice wallpaper. So we have little cubes (there are some cubes found here but I'm sure there are cheaper ones out there and in America) that will be a shoe storage area underneath (I never have shoes worn in my house, keeps it much cleaner), and on top it can be a mail table and small bookshelf. Near that is a coat and leash rack (for my future dog), and a framed round mirror to check your look before you leave the house. I'd like a pretty stripey round rug to offset the angularity of the cubes. And then on the other side, I'd like to make the planter bench from the book I have, Handmade Modern. Here's their version from the book:



I'd might like to have a short flowering plant but I love their rainbow stripe fabric. Anyway, more rooms coming later!
