Class: IDES 352 Interior Design Synthesis II

The remodeled Impression 5 Spaces will be used by children of all ages. The rooms will be lively and exciting through a split complementary color scheme of light blues, greens and yellows. The spaces will take advantage of natural light throughout the day, in addition to accent, task and decorative electrical light. The remodeled spaces will be functional in use and decorative in design. The rooms will accommodate universal design and will follow the museum’s mantra, play, create, challenge.
