Deepti Sethi Amita Walia

Abstract: Forecasting of the trends is done at least a year before the products go on-shelf. During the first three months, designers analyse and interpret the trends as per their perception. They create mood boards to develop the collection. Mood boards help designer to stay focused on the trends and designs, in the presence of other elements. In the present study, various home furnishing forecasts were studied to get inspired for the bedroom collection. A number of mood boards and colour boards were designed using Photoshop. Various design layouts and placements of motifs were developed using CorelDraw, a computer software. A bedroom range was made based on the mood boards. Further, the cost of products designed and developed was calculated. Also, the products were evaluated on the basis of appearance, design, quality and price.
