An inspiring corner to pause, breathe and relax

The Visualisation

Once the inspirations were in place and the decision to take an indirect approach to crystallise it was firmed up, out came the trusty 3D software design. The design team, given the intent and mood that they wanted to set in this little corner of the bedroom, chose to pick out the pinks and blues from the original inspiration and create a soothing space that played up the comfort and intimacy. This activity, of mood-boarding and visualising, becomes even more significant when the original inspiration transforms and changes as your ideas evolve.

The Render

The renders that popped up in the 3D visualiser had multiple options for the pink couch as well as the patterns that were in keeping with the original inspiration. The design team went with a more muted option to get the right vibe and leaned more towards the blues than the oranges from the original wallpaper. The side table and lampshade were in keeping with the D’Souza’s space and the plant pots too mimicked the cylindrical shape of the original lamp, building a subtle but cohesive design element. The flooring chosen was wooden and, going beyond the brief, floating shelves were to bring some organisation and storage potential to the space to complete the look.The Final Outcome

Armed with the 3D plan, the design team zeroed in on a wall opposite the bed in which to carry out their unwinding space. The wallpaper with the hints of blue warmed up the space and balanced out the pink couch. The lampshade and potted plants were recreated from the source while subtle, almost inconspicuous frames were added to complement the easy vibe. The floating shelves served as décor-enhancing storage and blue accents made their way into the mugs and vase as well. And it was tied together with the rug.

For the design team, this inspiration played a more suggestive role; they took the idea for an unwinding space, chose to go with a more laidback mood and picked out the colours, patterns and furniture pieces that would complement the look they wanted to achieve. While orange and pink were the shades at the start, the inspiration slowly evolved as ideas coalesced and morphed into this outcome—pretty, muted and a subtle symphony of pink and blue.
