“The
Room of Choice”© will be about the trials
and tribulations surrounding the creation of a “Designer
Show House". There will be a dramatic aspect as
well, since several designers will participate in the unique
format of a competition amongst themselves.
Each designer
will be assigned a space in a private residence which they
will then renovate and transform to a glorious result. Upon
completion of the project, the viewing audience will send
in their individual votes selecting the designer and room
they most prefer, hence the title: “The Room of
Choice”©.
The entire
design process will be documented, from conception to fruition.
All the encompassing factors involved in this monumental venture
will be included, starting with the many hours spent determining
the design and style of the room itself.
Next,
the designers will present a finished storyboard for approval.
Alternatives and/or compromises are discussed, and the design
is finalized. Then, by visiting various showrooms, manufacturers
and suppliers, the designers carefully accumulate their wares.
Finally,
a comprehensive schedule is established, followed by the actual
work.
Here,
viewers will witness exactly what it is that all of the various
workers and artisans actually do. Sometimes there is some
demolition that needs to be performed before construction
can begin. Then, all of the trades come into play; flooring,
whether carpet, hardwood or tile; wall coverings, which could
be paint, fabric or wallpaper; and ceiling finishes. Then,
there is the installation of all the lighting fixtures, be
they chandeliers or sconces. Finally, the room is ready to
be furnished and styled. Window treatments are completed and
furnishings are arranged. Lastly comes the magic that only
skilled designers can perform, the all-important accessorizing.
Here is where the unique style and personality of the individual
designers is most expressed through their choices of artwork,
floral arrangements, and objets trouves. These can include
but are certainly not limited to musical instruments, fine
books, throws and pillows, and all manner of decorative items.
The series
will present to its viewers a wide variety of information.
All aspects and procedures of home improvement will be covered,
demonstrating to all who watch the various talents involved.
The creativity and unique abilities of the practitioners of
those talents will be shown in a manner that will be both
entertaining and educational. |
