Style : Canadiana Concept : Bringing nature inside the cottage Color Scheme : Monochromatic brown hue Material : Mostly wood and fabric The purpose of this exercise was to apply the knowledge of kitchen and great room design that I had attained throughout the semester. The challenge of this project was that I had to decorate the window seat and the passage leading to it interestingly. To make the window seat intriguing, I decided to plant birch trees along the passage and to decorate the window seat look like a hut while other items in this room look quite modern. The concept covers the entire space was to bring nature inside the cottage. As I observed Canadian nature through sketching on the ideation phase, I selected stone-like pillows, a moose picture, and plaid patterns to meet the concept. I also applied a trough sink on the kitchen countertop for a casual use. I employed folding windows for the dining zone so the users can appreciate the view.
