Posh Palettes Presentation Panel: Teenage Boy's Domain

Jul 10 2012 · 0 comments · Posh Palettes Presentation Panel ·0

If you are familiar with my blog, you know that one of my favorite things to do at the outset of a large design project is to put together a Presentation Panel. Whether virtually (as I showed you last week) or on an actual inspiration board using real materials (my Posh Palettes Presentation Panels), I love pulling together inspiration as I begin to design a space.

Today’s Posh Palettes Presentation Panel is for the same teenage boy I’ve introduced you to over the past few blogs. Last week I shared the mood board for his en suite bathroom, today I’m sharing a peek at the design for his Bedroom.

The catalyst for the entire suite was a collection of posters my client acquired last summer. These bold, graphic posters, which will be framed and hung artfully in one area of the room, provided us with the inspiration point for the design. Once this decision was made, the color palette and other finishes fell easily into place.

This section of the panel gives you some idea of the red and black values we are working with:

I love the richness of the Kravet fabrics we’ve selected!

When I put together a Presentation Panel, I try to add every element we might consider using in the design such as trim and coordinating fabrics. While not everything will end up in the completed space, it helps reinforce the mood and style of the design.

Finally, I always add details that reflect the client’s life and personality. On this panel you can see that there are pencils and pens, a notebook, a calculator, computer cords etc. ~ my effort to capture the technology savvy side of this young man.

This is going to be a vibrant, striking and unique space, I am so looking forward to seeing it come together ~ and of course sharing it here!

“Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That’s because they were able to connect experience they’ve had and synthesize new things.”
