Design Solution
To create a living space that explores
the Equestrian style in England, furnishings were used along with a color
palette of navy, muted greens, cream, and that quintessential bit of red so
true in British culture. The color
scheme hints at England’s regal history while creating a comfortable interior
atmosphere. With a focus on practical
and inviting furniture, leather furnishings reflect a typical English manor
while storage trunks hint at a love of exploration and travel. To create contrast and mix masculine and
feminine influences, a white sofa was selected along with dark leather
chairs. Definitely not your traditional
side tables, storage trunks add an element of surprise within the design. Using travel trunks with drawers allows
multiple items to be stored, providing functionality and organization. The trunks are also reminiscent of travel
luggage aboard an old English steam train traveling through the
countryside. Multiple seating is
arranged around the fireplace to provide a cozy spot during chilly English
weather. A quiet seating arrangement to
the side also provide the perfect nook for reading or crafting. Shelving flanking the fireplace is the
perfect solution to display precious travel collectibles. Glass French doors frame the space allowing
light to filter in and provides a beautiful backdrop to the quaint English
countryside. Reclaimed beams provide a
nod to the achievement in English architecture.
Finally, the room is finished with the British flag, a personal stamp to
England décor.
Surrounded by family and favorite things,
the design of the living room has an element of fun and makes a big
statement. Craftsmanship of antique
travel trunks, warmth from the leather furnishings, and layers of fabrics all
define the interior of this Birmingham, England home.

This fictional Birmingham, England home was fun to design for my Residential class. I love the Equestrian style and classic furniture pieces used. I look forward to designing in the real world upon graduation. Who knows: maybe I will design an Equestrian look for a real client one day!!!
