The
Process
Through the combined efforts of your design
team you will produce a bedroom design to submit
to the producers following the steps below. Your design team will be
approved by your teacher and will consist of two interior design
experts. Each bedroom must be designed to have a bed - and
remember to stay within your $1500 budget.
Step
One - Dream and Brainstorm
Step
Two - Plan
Step
Three - Shop 'Till You Drop
Step
Four - Add it Up
Step
Five - Prepare your proposal
Step
Six - Show your Stuff


Step Two -
Plan
Plan - How much will you
need? Designers must
have a solid understanding about perimeter and area. You'll need to learn how to
compute the wallpaper and border needed.
Do it
yourself
Now that you
have agreed about your design theme and have sharpened your math
design skills you will need to complete the worksheet ( download pdf.)
so you will be ready to go shopping for supplies tomorrow.

Step Three -
Shop 'Till You Drop!
Go to the store to purchase your supplies. You must purchase a bed.
Print out and complete the order
form ( download
pdf) to turn in with final proposal. Don't forget to
include shipping charges and do not exceed your $1500
limit.
Target
Wal-Mart
Lowe's
Home Depot
When you have finished shopping,
create a floor plan of your dream room using 1 cm. Be
sure to add all of your furniture items and to label
everything. Keep this floor plan to turn in as part of your
proposal.

Step Four -
Add it Up
Create a worksheet using a spreadsheet to list purchases and amount spent. Create a graph using
this information to show how you spent your money.
Print out a copy to submit and you
may want to save the graph to paste in your power point proposal
later.

Step Five - WOW 'EM- Prepare
Your Proposal
Create a Powerpoint Proposal convincing the
producers your proposal is the greatest! Be sure to
dazzle the producers with your creativity and
imagination!
Your
powerpoint should include your theme, colors, design ideas, and
graph showing amounts spent. You must also submit your floor
plan on graph paper and budget print
out.

Today is the day for you to show off your
design ideas to the producers. Only one team will be chosen to
host the show and win their dream bedroom! Good Luck!
The producers (classmates) will vote
after all proposals are given.
