If you’ve wondered what an interior designer might make of the Steampunk look, then wonder no longer because the delightful Ms Sara over at The Steampunk Home page signed for a service that would take a photograph of a room and digitally composite a new interior design to your guidelines.  She asked for a Steampunk style.  The result is above, and you can see the ‘before’ image on her page.  I found it interesting what the designer thought of Steampunk as a style she’d not encountered before:

“Looking at the steampunk thing from a designers angle it makes a lot of sense. A basic design theory is called opposition, where elements of the room work together due to their differences rather than their sameness. I think that is the appeal of steampunk. The strong contrast between Victorian refinement and industrial grit, old technology vs new etc. makes it very interesting. It’s also a green concept as we need to stop buying so much new and find ways to salvage and reuse.”

An interesting view indeed!  Personally, I think the mural at the back is a little much, and I’m sure it’d not be my style, but that’s the fun of it – it was designed specifically for Ms Sara.  Thank you for letting me post about this, Ms Sara.
