I have enjoyed everything so far on my work placements. They have both been very interesting and inspiring. I would say the most important thing I can take from my experience so far is to work hard and to work through every challenge I face, never to give up. I now know what I want to design for and what career path I want to go down. I have one more placement at Graham & Brown in June which I am extremely looking forward to.

My experience at Milan Interiors
Work experience at Millan Interiors has been amazing so far. I have an insight to how interior designers work and how they offer advice on how to decorate and what patterns work well with what colours. Milan Interiors is based in Parbold. It's a lovely boutique that sell a range of household items to accessories your home. This boutique is very stylish and modern with a classic/contemporary atmosphere.
This image of me in Millan Interiors shows off my arranging of new products. I was able to rearrange the store for a fresh look. New products had arrived which gave me the chance to create a lavish setting.
*****************************************************************
Debbie Peers is the proprietor/designer for Millan Interiors and Adele Headley is the interior designer. Debbie and Adele work harmoniously together. While working with them both I quickly understood how they work. Debbie has a more financial role in the business. Whereas Adele is more creative and hands on, all decisions are decided together as a team. Each Client is different with their own style. Millan Interiors are here to guide you into decorating your home in a profession manner.
A client can bring in a small sample to give the team an idea of what style/colour theme to begin with. I was able to create this theme for a client for their living room. They brought in a small sample of there neutral carpet and were keen on the colour purple and were wanting a not so busy floral pattern somewhere. I came up with this theme of a nude, textured wallpaper with a metallic gold and purple floral pattern for curtains. Also to add more vibrancy in the living room I chose 3 colours for cushions on the couch. This splash of colour would lift the room so it wouldn't all be in the same tone of colour.
