Bribing myself failed. I have not completed my assignment, and I just ate my treat anyway.
I am looking at houses, which is what I am supposed to do, so it is at least a start. I'm really not finding a lot of places that look comfortable to be in. Far too many hard surfaces and square edges.
- Far too many hard surfaces and square edges.
  Yes! Especially in bathrooms, which I neither like the look of nor understand.
- Is that houses in a landscape, or interior design????
  
  Sustainable design of houses. The assignments for this subject are all about making a brief for your own housing project, and this week I am trying to find some examples of designs I like. There is a subject I will do next year that focuses on landcape as well.
  I think I've found my examples now:
  
  Fascinating. Both seem to have a very japanese feel to them, while being quite different. This sounds like a very interesting assignment.
  
  The bellvue terrace is a huge no from me. I wouldn't survive those steps after a few.
  
  I'd definitely be avoiding the steps for myself too, but the space above it looks pretty good.
- Your examples look beautiful. But yeah, current house fashion is very square styles and monotone greys. In some ways it’s nice, but it does lack personality and coziness. I dream about one day winning lotto and being able to have a house that is thoughtfully designed.
  
  My prefered colour tones are all warm earth colours, and I like curves and much softer lines. The current trends are not something I like. Hopefully by the time I can actually afford to do anything the fashions will have changed and I can have a few more options. Having tried to buy a few replacement items to match my current cream tones I am aware how hard it can be to go against the trends.
