How To Capture And Review Your Interior Design Ideas And Selections By Creating A Professional Looking Sample Board
Interior designers often create sample boards to give the client an idea of the design proposal they have developed. They place the colour samples, images of the furniture selected, examples of the materials to be used and accessories selected for the project on a board. The number of sample boards created depends on the size of the project. Small one room projects usually only need one board. Larger projects many need a number of different sample boards.
Some examples of different types of sample boards
- Colour (often used by colour consultants)
- Furniture
- Drawings (perspective)
- Plans (floor plans)
- Materials (carpets, laminates…)
There are a number of reasons why designers use sample boards. Firstly they can be used as a way of communicating design ideas. It can also be used to act as a reference tool during the life of a project. The tools need to make a board include the board, tape, adhesive, Stanley knife and labels.
Tools needed to create a sample board
- Board (paper, foam, illustration, museum boards, or Gator board for heavy materials)
- Tape (masking, double sided, Velcro for heavy items)
- Cutting tool (Stanley knife, pinking shears, sharp scissors)
- Rulers (metal for cutting, scale rule for measuring)
- Pens and pencils (felt tip, soft pencil, coloured pencils, coloured pens)
- Adhesive (Clear all purpose, spray adhesive)
- Cutting mat
- Labels (usually white)
The size of the board selected to create the sample boards usually depends on the size of the project. In these eco friendly times the smallest board size possible should be used for the project. The most common sizes used by designers A2 or A1.
Creating the board
- Most designers leave a border of at least 1cm from the top and the 2 sides of the board
- A larger space is left at the bottom of the board
- The border can be coloured to coordinate with the colour scheme
Tip: A sample paint pot of the colour to be used in the room could be used for the border or the space inside the border
- Work out the size for each item (for example the carpet sample would be bigger than a lamp)
- Trim the items to be placed on the board
- Fabrics can be cut with pinking shears to stop fraying
- If more than one room is involved in the project then each board should be labeled (living, bedroom……)
- Create labels for each item (labels can be created on your computer or by hand)
Tip: Have all the tools and items ready before you begin
- Position each item on the board according to where they would be placed in the room (for example carpet at the bottom of the board, ceiling paint sample at the top of the board)
- When you are happy with the arrangement you can use adhesive to place each item in place
- Remember Velcro can be used for heavy items (tiles, timber….)
Tip: A hairdryer can be used to remove some glued items if they have been position incorrectly
The eco friendly way to create sample boards
Many designers are now creating sample boards electronically. Last year I wrote a tutorial on how to create a sample board using Word Publisher. This was before I discovered the website http://www.sampleboard.com Sample Board is a brilliant free, easy to use, eco friendly tool designed by designers for designers.
The same principles can be applied when creating a sample board electronically as those mentioned above. However there are different schools of thought on the subject.The most important thing is the board is clear, easy to follow and is self explanatory.
