Amuse Bouche for Interior Design

Note: this was a post from one of my former blogs, I’ll be moving posts from there to here so everything’s organized.

Having trouble designing a receiving room?

My friend gave me a cd of top chef season 3. You see, apart from music, photography, painting, et cetera et ceteras… I also have a passion for cooking. He has been a very good classmate. We go to each other’s house, cook for each other, learning in the process.  He gives me audiovisual references while i give him text reads.

There is a part in top chef wherein they have this “quickfire challenge”. On one episode, the challenge was to make an amuse bouche (amusbush). Amuse bouche is a type of one-bite-appetizer that is intended to cleanse the palate for you to be ready for the next dish.

That said, I sort of made a link between 2 different fields: cooking and interior design.

I was trying to design a house yesterday on my computer and I was completely blank. For some reason this concept entered my mind. “Amuse Bouche!” Yeah. I have been to a lot of family houses and there’s one thing I’ve noticed: most of them are nice but there’s always a lot to take in. So, in designing a receiving room or living room (whichever you have first as you open the front door) try the amuse bouche concept. Just remember to keep pieces simple but put in things that will take the viewer into having a glimpse of what the house would be like. Try not to cause confusion that every piece you place in that room will be taken into fine consideration.
