Color and Material Research: The Foundation of Every Design
"Our design vision often incorporates natural materials," explains Jesseca van Haneghem. She emphasizes that the interplay between layout, color choice, material selection, furniture, and art plays a crucial role in achieving a beautifully balanced ensemble. Understanding client preferences regarding the desired ambiance, whether it's a light or dark interior, serves as the starting point. The unique characteristics of the client and the project are also meticulously considered. Factors such as the project's location, the family composition, and even the residents' leisure activities are vital in selecting materials and colors for the palette.
Once these critical aspects are clear, the process of assembling a material and color palette begins. This includes carefully examining how colors and shapes harmonize with other used materials, including the refined details of custom furniture design or door and/or furniture hardware, to create a stunning whole. Naturally, the presentation of this initial palette proposal includes samples of door hardware and/or furniture hardware. This enhances the client experience and allows us to assess the client's response to these choices, ensuring our design team is aligned.
