The ceiling was comprised of Plywood and 'beam' type planks of wood which stretched across the room and the plywood screwed into it and the set flats.
The transformation was incredible. By cutting out the light it really brought the walls and the atmosphere to life.
Once the two doors were attached it got a lot darker inside the room. It also changed the feeling of the living room to one that was quite claustrophobic and restricted. Once the furniture is in it will feel even more so.
The floor in the bedroom was painted by Ben. Using scenic paint and masking tape to mark out a floorboard effect. The look is subtle and very dark, it helps to suck the light out of the room very well.
In the Living room a dark wood floor was painted in the same way and waxed afterwards. In the centre a carpet is laid with a green trim to make it look like a rug.
The colour of the carpet is great even though it is a little bit too dirty, maybe it needs a hoover! In the original design stage i put forward an idea from my mood board that the rooms should be complimentary in colour to each other. Gregor's room mostly greens and browns as he is a bug and in the living room warmer peaches and pinks. This would signify the relationship between Gregor and his parents. The opposite colour scheme shows the rift that has come between them. I really liked this idea and stressed it but somewhere along the way it got lost. Working in such a large group having lots of different opinions on different aspects of the room wasn't easy. The decision was made to give each person an element of the rooms to design and make. This is obviously the best way but it meant that ideas got lost and things may clash.
