This week for our color theory color boards we were assigned the project of a female CEO's office for an insurance company. The office space is 275 sq. feet, overlooks a beautiful park on the 10th floor of a high rise building, and has floor to ceiling windows facing North. After some research and inspiration searching I came upon the picture below of an achromatic space with high contrast blacks and whites, with some fun accent colors. I used this room as the inspiration for her office space.
I chose to go with a warmer tone of the achromatic color scheme with cream instead of a cool stark white. The space needed a punch of color to represent power and femininity so I chose a burnt orange/ red that brings the red power, yet also the fun joviality of the orange and yellow hues. The office space that I designed has beautiful marble flooring in large 18x18 tiles, with striking gold/silver veins. The walls are a silky cream, and there is a large area rug under the seating area near the desk. The side chairs are "Le Corbusier" done in the burnt orange leather, and the desk in a popping espresso finish. A nice modern ergonomic chair, gold art sculpture, and brilliant black drum shade with falling crystals add the final punch to the space. (details pictured below)

Starting the project and trying to decide which textiles, flooring, finishes, and colors would go in the space. In the end the project turned out well, the professor thought it was overall a decent color board, but did hash on me for the use of black. But it seemed to work for what I had envisioned, and he liked it overall.
