This is my 10th entry to the Creativity Blog. For the last four entries, I was talking about places of entertainment, such as a park, an amusement park, zoos, and a restaurant. Today is the day I will talk about the museum idea I have. In fact, for the next four entries to the StarFall Press, I will have some museum or interior design related blog entries.

The background behind this entry was that I was in Interior Design class when I was in the 10th grade to the early 11th. What I learned in Interior Design were the elements and principles of design according to Interior Design, backgrounds, lighting, house decorating, furniture styles, and kitchens.

Just letting you know, this is not a model home. It's a museum to teach interior design. It's also not Animal Crossing related. It's more to the real life. In addition, it's a museum, not a shop.

The House Design Museum is an art museum, but it's focused on teaching interior design. It has more than what I learned in Interior Design. Although it's less likely to come to reality, I would like to talk more about the idea.

Exhibitions:

The museum has three stories of exhibits in the main building. The first story has exhibits on exterior design and gardening, the second story has interior design, and the third story had the elements and principles of design. The higher up you go, the less you'll see.

Floor 1:

The entry will have a ticket booth to where you can purchase wristbands to explore the museum. But that would be closer to the front. In the center, there is an atrium with a fountain. There are stairs to go up and down, benches to sit down on, and a few other sculptures. Towards the back is the food court and gift shop. The food court would be called the "Culinary Design Exhibition" since it's just a food court. On the left would be some stalls to get some food. On the right is the entire gift shop.

In the center and towards the front, the sides are actually boundaries to exhibits. You can access the exhibition to the left through the center only. The exhibition to the right has entries/exits through both the front and the center.

  • Left Wing:
    • The left wing of the museum's first floor is focused on architecture. It has information on doors, windows, walls, roofs, and fences. Each exhibit room has samples behind glass. For instance, the door exhibition has actual doors with frames inside the glass cases, but with little walls around the frames. It has all the types of doors. The window one has window types like single-hung, cabinet, and picture windows, but there's more. The roof one has more than types of roof tiles. It also has roof shapes.
    • Layout:
      • Doors - left side to the front.
      • Windows - left side to the back.
      • Roofs - behind the main hall to the left.
      • Walls - behind the main hall to the right.
      • Fences - right side to the back.
      • Models - right side to the front.
  • Right Wing:
    • The right wing is still on exteriors, but it's more on gardens and yards and less on houses. It is the same size as the left wing of the first floor, but has different exhibitions. It has information about gardens, porches, backyard elements, and pavements. Like the left wing, almost everything is behind glass. However, the lamps and pavements are not encased, but the crowd control lines keep people from touching the artifacts.
    • Behind the right wing is actually a tram ride to explore the model homes owned by the museum. The ride is free, but each house requires tickets to enter. To prevent using more resources, tickets are digital and stored into cards.
    • Layout:
      • Porches and porch design - left side to the front.
      • Gardens - left side to the back.
      • Other backyard elements - right side to the back.
      • Pavement - right side to the front.
      • Tram station - behind the main hall.

Floor 2:

The back part of the museum is only one story, but it's two stories high. The front will have a few attractions outside both wings, but only this time, exhibitions on both sides can be accessed through both the front and the center.

  • Left Wing:
    • The left wing of the museum's second floor is all about furniture and other house elements. There are no glass exhibits at all, but there are crowd control lines. Even so, nobody is allowed to touch the furniture and appliances.
    • Layout:
      • Furniture production and appliances - left side to the front.
      • Housing plans - left side to the back.
      • Kitchen and bath - right side to the back.
      • Bedroom, living room, and dining room - right side to the front.
  • Right Wing:
    • The right wing is all on backgrounds. In case if you are wondering, backgrounds are on wall design, floor design, doors, windows, ceilings, and window treatments. Since doors and windows are on the first floor, they are not covered in this section. But the others are.
    • Layout:
      • Carpets and walls - left side to the front.
      • Paneling, molding, and ceilings - left side to the back.
      • Lighting - right side to the back.
      • Window treatments - right side to the front.

Floor 3:

The third floor of the main building has no left wing, but is has a right wing. The center still has the stairs, but the front has promotional exhibitions. The right wing is all about the elements and principles of design.

  • Right Wing:
    • The right wing is all on interior design, but on a more basic level. It digs deeper into the heart of design - elements and principles. The elements and principles are applied to interior design in this section.
    • Layout:
      • Line, form, and space - left side to the front.
      • Texture and color - left side to the back.
      • Color Schemes - right side to the back.
      • Principles of design - right side to the front.

Model Homes:

The main building is over, but there is a section with eight model homes that can only be accessed by the trams. Each model home requires certain tickets. They also require no shoes, no touching, and no disrespect. There are eight different model homes, each of them having different architecture and different furniture styles. The exterior design, not architecture, also matches the furniture styles.

Model Homes:

  • Victorian
  • Country
  • Southwestern
  • Japanese
  • Mediterranean
  • Middle Eastern
  • Pre-1800's British
  • Midwestern

And that concludes the House Design Museum entry to the Creativity Blog. Comments are appreciated, but not recommended.
