Mod3 Project1 (Project 3.1)

This is a good scheme but needs an injection of a deeper colour, such as red, to make it the intimate, sensual French dining experience as outlined in the brief. Red stimulates the appetie and goes particularly well with meat-based dishes and red wine, which are predominant in French cuisine.

This monochromatic scheme really has the feel of an informal French bistro-tyoe environment, rather than an intimate French restaurant because of the large fabric sample in blue check for the roman blinds. This checked fabric is synonymous with Bistro style.

Again, the paint samples are a little too small to clearly see the scheme you are proposing - you mention the walls are to be in an indigo blue but the sample is too small to create the impression of a large expanse of wall and the image has white walls, mkaing it difficult to visualise your proposal. Colour no.7 is described as "French Grey", which is actually more of a green colour, seen typically on the exterior woodwork (shutters etc) of houses in the South of France.

The accent colour again is quite small so it doesn't have much impact on the overall scheme. It is also too pale in hue to denote the soft gold, a deeper, stronger yellow would be more suitable.
