TEST PAPER ONE ‘Vision : the art of seeing things invisible – Jonathan Swift – Irish poet and Satirist HALLS – A room in it’s own right. I will be portraying two halls one that I like and another that needs improvement. Introduction A successfully decorated room requires vision from the outset, this is particularly relevant when designing hallways. Hallways are often over looked as just a passage, a space to get you from one part of the building to another, however it’s often the first introduction into your home and the meeting point for many hellos and goodbyes. It is a room in it’s own right, and in order to be success when decorating a hallway you need to think about how this space is going to be used in daily life. Does it need to be practical due to children or pets? If this is the case then the material used needs to be esay to clean and hard to stain. Do you have several hallways ? Then perhaps you could think about incorporating a theme throughout so that they blend together creating a sense of unity. I will be using the checklist taken from the Materials course book to write a critique of each hall. Figure one –Hall A Is taken from ‘Maisons Coté Ouest, May edition 2002. You are instantly drawn to this elegant hall, for a fairly small area many different types of materials have been successfully introduced. The marble floor and dado gives the room a classic feel as well as denoting where one room stops and another begins. Hard surfaces such as marble or stone are ideal as they can withstand a lot of wear and tear and are easy to clean. Although the Hall A has limited natural light choosing a pale yellow paint and applying a sponging technique to create a dapple effect blends the hall into the rest of the house and creates a relaxing atmosphere. A mustard yellow taffeta is used in the curtains, which are made to a grand scale to draw the eye to the window and garden beyond adding more dimension to the hall. The two large light fixtures are made of glass with brass fittings, glass is a good choice as it helps to magnify the light which is needed in the absence of poor natural light.
