​INTERIOR DESIGNER

​You are a renowned interior designer, known for designing some of the best houses in town.

​You have been hired to do a make-over for a house. Your first step is to interview the house owners. It is an old couple - 70 and 72 years old respectively.

Let's hear what they have to say! ​

​

Multiple Choice

Let's start with the Living Room. Assume you want the living room to be used for all the parties and TV watching, which one will you pick?

The A and D options are too crowded for parties. Seating in the ​

C option is low and not suitable for elderly people. Thus, you should pick the B one as it is open, lively, and ideal for having people around.

Multiple Choice

While Mary is super happy, Joseph needs his own open well-lit space when the living room is not being used for parties. What additional features will you add to the living room to accommodate Joseph's preferences?

The A and C options are quite dark and your client wants an open well-lit space. The D option has artificial light but, Joseph mentioned that he wants access to sunlight. Thus, you should pick this one as it adds extra seating space for Joseph and the huge windows and glass walls light up the whole space with daylight.

Multiple Choice

The balcony is an important part of the house. Which design out of the following do you think is ideal for your clients?

Joseph wants ​space where he can soak in the sun and read. Also, he loves gardening and wants space for his plants. Thus, you should pick this design to suit the client's needs.

Multiple Choice

Let's talk about the bedroom. Which one will you pick?

The A and C options are too dark and not per the liking of your clients. The B option has a low floor bed which is not suitable for the elderly. Thus, option D ​is the best as it offers enough lighting and a comfortable bed height.

Multiple Choice

How would you place the furniture in the bedroom?

Since your clients are an elderly​ couple, it is better to place the furniture closer to the bed making it easier for them to reach out. Moreover, Joseph mentioned a liking for plants and sunlight, and this layout perfectly accommodates that too.

Multiple Choice

The kitchen is mainly used by domestic help (who leaves in the afternoon) and thus, needs to be functional but not luxurious. Therefore, they want it a little outside the main portion of the house. Which design would you pick for the kitchen?

You can't go for options B and C as the client wants the kitchen outside the main house. The D option is too luxurious and as stated earlier, the client is looking for a decent kitchen on an affordable budget. Thus, you should pick option A as it is decent and outside the main house as well.

Multiple Choice

Coming on to the guest room, it is mostly visited by grandchildren who are 5 and 8 years old. What kind of design would you pick for the room?

All the other options are too boring for a guest room for kids. Most children love bright colors and​ cool wall art. Thus, you should go for this option if you want the grandchildren to be happy while they are visiting😊

Multiple Choice

Earlier, the crockery was kept in the kitchen. Where would you place it in the new design?

• In the kitchen only

• In the guest room

• In the living room

• In the bedroom

You can't keep the crockery in the kitchen as it would be difficult to access for the couple when the domestic help is not around. You can't keep the crockery in the bedroom or the guest room as they won't be eating there and also, kids might break it. Thus, you should keep the crockery in the living room where they would be hosting parties and having meals.

In the living room.

Multiple Choice

They are buying a dog and need a small compartment for the dog. Where would you put it?

Having a dog house in the living room or the bedroom is not ideal because there would be too much mess. You can't have the dog house in the kitchen as it's not safe and also, the kitchen is outside the main house. It's best to have the dog house in the balcony as the couple won't be required to take the dog out frequently and can easily watch the dog as well.
