2/16--Preferential
A preferential interior relates to what preferences are discernible within the space and if they are appropriate or inappropriate. In this interior, the designer uses a monochromatic color scheme of dark gray with white accessories. The dark gray and white are contrasts, but are both achromatic colors that don't detract from one another.
The main focal points of the room are the three white light fixtures that hang out from the wall. They are a point of visual interest that you see right before the viewer begins to walk around the wall that they hang on. They are contrasting with the simple, clean designs within the rest of the room, and are visually similar to the accessories that are on the side table.
The lightness of the light fixtures add a bright element to a rather dark room. But just beyond the wall that the light fixtures hang on are a hallway that is extremely lit and creates a separation between the two spaces.
The darkness of the room with the wall separating the sitting area and the brighter hallway helps to create a more intimate, private area. The lighting is dim and limited. The wall that extends into the room seems to create a barrier between spaces in this interior and the curtain hanging on the back wall seems to add to this effect.
This space is very clean and simple and modern. If the designer had used brighter, and more than one color, do you think that the room would have the same feeling of a private sitting area? Do you think that adding more color would make the room feel larger/smaller?
