Oh what fun !!! Mood boards are here!!!

Design & Designing is very interesting but sometimes it tends to get confusing, thanks to zillion options of colors, textures, materials in the market  . Out of the many things you see around how do you pick one for yourself, for your home or your space. Mood boards / inspirational boards play an important role. A look, concept can be explained with the help of pictures, swatches. They act like a medium between the designers mind & the clients. There are many themes that a space can be done. We at Kaamya design studio, at start of every project, go through this small exercise of going through different thematic mood boards. This helps the client to figure out what he likes, or doesn't. Here are few glimpses of mood Boards, each one following a particular theme. (Image courtesy: Google, Collage Composition : Kaamya design studio)

"Life at the beaches" Sometimes some conversations, sometimes silence. A beach has it all. In the hustle bustle of life, we surely find some peace at the foot of the vast ocean. This is for all the beach lovers.
"The Chronicles" We are by many means related to our past. Kudos to the sculptors we had in the times when there was nothing to motivate, inspire, still they created master pieces. Direct from the "kanheri" caves,Mumbai, around 20 feet high sculpture carved with utmost abstraction.

'Amplifier' look a like-storage wall



Project details:
Project: Residence for Mr. Raj Nair Location: Mumbai
Project Area: 670, Sq. Ft.
It was a challenge designing this typical sized Mumbai apartment situated in hustle bustled north Mumbai region. The columns were hindrances in the wall elevation, as we were falling short of storage of kid’s toys & stuffs. This wall offset was utilized as storage spaces in the form of amplifier. Thus this wall became a musically interesting one for Kids room. It acts as storage for toys now.
As design can have endless possibilities, further hypotheses can be derived in terms of utility, Shape, size etc. It can serve as an interactive wallboard for kids, where they can write and rewrite on it. In this case the base material can be charcoal board. Secondly, it can have lights in it, acting as interesting light options during night. In this case the shutters can be of printed glass / acrylic. Thirdly it can be of complete transparent see through glass. There can be endless assumptions & derivations of the wall elevation. But currently it is the best & interesting thing in her room & in the house.
