Unit 8 Summary

Hello, everyone! This post is going to be final discussion of Unit 8 and what I learned. One main topic that I'll talk about is the use of furnishings and how they effect the experience of a space.
Furnishings are pretty important when creating interior spaces because they give viewers a certain feeling and experience. For example, in the Gratz Park Inn here in Lexington, there's this couch in the lobby. If I had to describe it, I'd say that it gives off a very traditional feeling when looking at the beige fabric and dark brown carved wood. The traditional appeal it gives off is very successful for the location since this inn is in Gratz Park, which is a historic district. Not only does it bring a sense of comfort and status to the room, but it also feels like it brings the whole room together; if it weren't there, the space wouldn't be as successful.
