College/Uni Interior Design



Easton and Otely college refectory is one of five eating outlets on Easton College's campus. It is situated in the Sports Centre and serves breakfast and lunch.

Here in this refectory the walls have bright and vibrant colours. I feel that this is a great advantage because it  really stands out which makes the place light up and shine. It also helps the room to look bigger and also creates a happy summers mood which is good for there target audience. I feel the creative shape chairs looks quite modern because of the light wooden tone and the unique construction, however the small wooden tables look really standard and plain which doesn't make it too cozy.

I feel that this colour scheme could work really well in our refectory purely because of the happy feel it sets off.

St Mary's University College officially opened their refectory  after being refurbished in 2008. Their refectory seats up to 550 with a buffet style servery which is ideal for conference catering.

Here in this refectory they went for a very stylish design. The refectory's atrium and French windows give the venue a light, spacious feel while still keeping it mature and professional. I feel that using the colour white on their walls wasn't a great choice as it makes the space feel cold and empty however it does make it look spacious. I feel the blue chairs set a great look to the refectory not only because its mature, it sets a great atmosphere because its a very calm colour. The white tables don't go with the white walls because yet again it feels bleak however if the walls were to be changed to the colour blue the tables would set a very sophisticated impression.

I could use this type of colour scheme when i start designing because i feel the canteen would look professional instead of the bright colours that look less mature.

West Thames College Isleworth Campus's refectory is located next to the student common room area and serves a variety of hot and cold meals, snacks, drinks and confectionery. Students can also grab hot drinks and snacks from the Atrium Cafe.

Here in this refectory the colour scheme of the walls are red blue and green which i quite like but i feel it still portrays the childlike feature that i want to move away from however these primary colours are bright and stand out very well which can enlighten your mood. The colour scheme of the chairs really stand out in this refectory. i feel it looks natural and gives a sense of purity because it reminds me of leaves however i feel this colour don't go well with the walls because the colour looks too sour rather than subtle. The tables have a very light wooden complexion which i feel go well with the the colour scheme of the chairs because the colour is light.

Primary colours are already used in our college refectory which i will be moving away from more into some professional mature and also luxurios colours
