Interior Design

I have always been intrigued and fascinated by interior design, so I decided to take on a post-graduate course in the subject. I am finding the software 'autocad' quite challenging, but absolutely love the drawing side of the course, and have learnt how to create technical, perspective drawings of spaces. Here are a few of my pieces of work...


Below are some technical drawings of my living room design, I practised with a 4 different rendering medias.

This was quite a fun assignment, I had to design the ground floor of a client; one of the rooms being a child's nursery. So I decided to create a chalk board wall!

The Garden Room


During my time at Weald Rise Primary School, I had the opportunity to make over an entire room for interventions and SEN children. I absolutely loved the process from design, to sourcing items and painting.




I painted a variety of animals on the walls to give the children the feeling of being outside in a garden looking out onto a farm.







I added textures to the animals to make the room multi-sensory, this was especially popular with SEN children.



I bought strips of fencing to frame the entire room, giving the illusion that you were in the garden looking out to the farm.





I am so happy with the way the room turned out! Birds, insects and plants hanging from the ceiling, fake turf and real plants on the floor and painted walls with animals, plants and literacy vocabulary.
