About Pantry and Kitchen
Sometimes we get confused of the difference between kitchen and pantry. According to Wikipedia, kitchen is a room or part of a room used for cooking and food preparation. Pantry is a room where food provisions, dishes, or linens are stored and served in an ancillary capacity to the kitchen. In my words, kitchen is for cooking raw food; pantry is place for food to place before getting served onto the dinning table.
Following image is a sample of my pantry design. Simply click on it to enlarge.
In the past time, within Asia home style, kitchen was mostly located at rear because cooking activity was categorized as a private activity. Nowadays, especially in urban style, cooking is not a private activity anymore. People tend to show what they cook. It is like how BreadTalk, in which people can directly see the bread making process. The company would like to convince their consumers that the bread is being cooked properly in a clean kitchen.
However, many people still tend to divide cooking area into kitchen and pantry.

Dehellenag's Make Up Studio
Client: Ellena Gunawan
Location: Riverside Park, Mataram City, Lombok
My client is a famous wannabe make up artist. She needs a studio in which she and her employees may able to give the best service to their clients.
Function
The analysis of activity and needs were the first thing I got concerned with. The dimension was specified based on the existing site plan.
Design Concept
I did not even ask my client about the concept. I just asked her promptly what the stuff does she love to collect as a hobby. She loves collecting Hello Kitty stuff since childhood. Bingo! I got the the concept. I decided to play around with pink colour.
What Kind Of Pink?
Once I decided to play around with pink, I made some research about it. Based on my brief research, pink colour is same as white, which is potentially divided into families. According to Interior Style book released by Benjamin Moore Paints, white can be divided into two families: warm whites, with yellow, pink or brownish undertones; and cool whites, with minty green or blue-gray undertones. In this case, pink is basically the result of red combined with white. More you add the amount of red, you would see the warmer pink. In the return, decrease the red you would get the cooler pink.
As you can see both images above, warmer pink has that impact: Sexy. The cool pink is more "princessy", reminds us to the princess movies. For this studio, I chose the warm pink to apply. To neutralize the effect of red, I used white as colour combination. In order to make the room becomes girly, I decided to cover the wall with rose-pattern wallpaper.
Why Tiffany Chair?
Tiffany chair is a kind of fancy chair probably invented by someone called Tiffany. It is chair without arm rest, made of wood, with pillow on the seat. I have suggested my client that this kind of chair is not comfortable to use specially for a make up studio. However, my client insisted to have fancy chair instead of comfort one.

How Do The Designers Help?
Once my teacher said there are 3 activities designers have to do: Thinking, thinking and thinking. Clients have Designers to sort their problems out. Designers, by using design method, help clients basically to make their life easier.
There are various aspects in interior design that potentially having impact towards daily life. Thus designers are concerned about ergonomic, colour effect and some designers are thinking about new idea of making innovation to make live become easier.
Some people believe they don't need interior designers. Indeed, some of them understand about problem solving. But, sometimes people just don't realize that there are many things in architectural stuff they don't know well.
In this case, I would like to give you very simple example using one of my kitchen projects.
Project Location: Puri Hijau Senggigi, Lombok Island Client: Mrs Nuri, an Australian & Indonesia citizen
My client had a kitchen built by the home developer. In Lombok, Real Estate Companies tend to build houses unfurnished. They only provide simple kitchen made of concrete finished commonly with tiles. But in this project, I found the kitchen had been finished with granite stone and tiles applied on to the wall.
So after brainstorming the problems, I started making the sketch.

So far, I thought It was time to discuss with the client. Are you a designer? I am telling you: Clients will be happy when you report the progress constantly. They are happy to get involved. You have to engage the client to make sure their problems have been sorted out.
Eventually, I came out with the final design. Deal. My client were happy with the design. Then I brought the working sheet over the workshop. Technical problems will show up during installation, it is normal though. Drawing Plan is made on paper. Kitchen is not standing on a paper sheet. So it is important to be flexible with changes.
ROSE POWER IN BED ROOM
Client: Dennis' Family
Location: Mataram City, Lombok island
Interior Contractor: WK Interior
The idea is to put red as accent into the bed room. As this room is a master bedroom in which the user is a mature couple, I choose rose as a concept to put into the atmosphere of the room.
I divide the room into sleep area and wardrobe area which is separated by a TV panel.

FORTUNE HOTEL; FRIENDLY WITH ORANGE
Project: Interior Lobby Area of Fortune Hotel, Mataram, NTB
Client: Fortune Hotel
Design & Visual: Panglima Erlangga
Interior Contractor: WK Interior
Within this project, my job is to design the front area of Fortune Hotel which is consisting: Receptionist, Lounge and restaurant area. Those items are placed on the ground floor.
Let's Start Based on the Logo
When designing something such as Commercial Brand stuff, I use to start paying attention to the Logo. I reckon that prior to specify the architectural look, the owner should have been choosing the Brand-Logo. Thus a logo is supposed to be reflecting what the clients intend.
Image of the hotel is curved-letter and colorful. The font is similar to Fender ( a brand of music instruments). Thus the exterior building consists of three colors: Red, Yellow and orange. So far, the existing exterior building has been engaged with the style of the Brand-Logo. However, Regardless the color of the brand logo, I chose Orange to be applied into the Lobby area. The reason is that Red is too strong for welcoming visitors. Orange is more friendly.
Receptionist Area
Among the the option I was offering, my client has chosen the one with curved-ceiling as you can see on following picture.
If you were wondering about technical way of creating the split-curved-ceiling (just in case you are not into technically architectural stuff) here I show you the Working in Progress Image I captured during the project:
During the project, after having many discussions with the client, I eventually make several changes. Considering to get more attendants in restaurant, I decided to enlarge the lobby resto. Following is the final image of the lobby:
The Lobby Lounge
I was playing around with Orange color eventually found that orange can be combined well with vivid colours. To get the surprising firs impression, I played around Orange with graphical stuff on the wall.
In the corner, I placed a small lounge with Red wall covering applied onto the wall.
Since the lobby restaurant has been enlarged in order to add the capacity, I have made a little bit tweak as you can see the photographs below:
Breakfast Area
Since the restaurant is located within same area with Lobby area, I thought about how to engage it with the lobby related to the style and colour. Thus I chose graphical stuff to applied onto the wall instead of making it either elegant nor luxurious.
As you can see, there is mirror along the wall and cutting sticker depicting a ruler. Regarding the ruler, I chose Ruler as the graphic decoration for making it different to any other hotel in the universe. You can see more detail on picture I have already taken below.

SMALL BUT SWEET HOME LIVING
Client: Mrs. Lia
Location: Graha Majapahit, Mataram, NTB
Designer: Panglima Erlangga
Contractor: WK Interior
The idea is to create small budget home interior decoration within a small house. I decided to create furniture which is inexpensive to create. Thus I applied wood-working looks alike furniture using plywood layered by High Laminated Pressure (HPL). I chose two prominent HPL with Walnut textures.
Problem
The Indonesian style of home-living interior, conventionally, is that there are two living rooms available. First one is as a lounge for hosting guests. The second one is as common room for family. Thus actually if you say Living Room, that refers to a lounge for Guests.
According to the culture I've elaborated early, It was no chance to create two living rooms. Thus I design a common room suitable for guests and family. That is why the title of this project named: Small And Sweet Home Living.

Elegant Modern-Classic
Client: Iptu Danu Anindito
Location: Polres Lombok Barat, Mataram, NTB, Lombok
Interior Contractor: WK Interior
Interior Designer: Panglima Erlangga
3D Illustration: Panglima Erlangga
Layout
My Client is a Head Police Officer of Traffic Department. His office is getting located in a big space but separated from the stuff area. According to the discussion with my Client, we have decided the location of his room. Later on, this decision would have changed into another location. You will get it easily when read The Budget & Altered Design. So here is the layout of the room.
As you can see on illustration above, the room is divided into two areas: Lounge and Work Desk Area.
Concept
I decided to make it semi-classic. Thus, I designed the Work Desk Area a little bit classic. What came up on my mind about classic was ornament. I thought that's the easiest way to reach the Classic outlook.
The good thing (or bad one?) about Interior Design is that the result might be different with the design. It depends on various things. In this case, the material is the prominent cause. The wallpaper I applied into design was getting run out. Thus I had to choose another pattern to apply. Wood textures were not same as the design illustration either. However, the concept is still same. The bright and darker wood texture applied on the desk is in accordance with the visual illustration. Here is the Photo taken:
Budget Problem & Altered Design
Initially I offered a design which was too expensive for the Client to make it real. I designed the lounge with big size of TV Panel in Lounge Area.
And for the Working Area, I created a desk with a big storage behind. You can see on an illustration below.
As my client got worried about the budget, I altered the design in accordance with his budget. Thus I made a bit tweak by reducing the size and choosing another material behind the desk. I chose gypsum board in order to create the wall panel behind the desk instead of a cupboard.
As you can see on illustration above, there is a door besides the TV Panel. The door "appears" as I changed the placement of the room (as I said in first paragraph, isn't it?), still in same size though.
Summary
Below is the picture compilation depicting the Design Summary.

DESIGN PROCESS; FROM SKETCH TO REALITY
Design is a creative activity. What makes it different to any traditional art is that in design process there is a step in which reason is getting considered. During designing something, everything you create or choose needs a reason.
Design Process
Even though designers have their own way, basically the process is same. Designing a product is about visualize the concept, no matter it will be developed into real thing or not. There are several steps in design process, I'd like to tell you using my own words: Data Bank, Get the Idea, Concept Making and Get Real.
For example, I'd like to elaborate the Design Process using my simple project. It is a TV Panel I designed for my Client.
Data Bank
During this step, I collect the information about: User's need, existing room including dimension and colour, user's personality and what does the user pursue with the product.
Get the Idea
This is the second step. Based on Data Bank, I start getting the idea. I always come up with the raw sketches.
Tips from me: Make it quick. It is quick sketch which means I don't need to create the tidy one. I don't even need to show it to any other than me. That's why Visual Dairy is compulsory. I reckon that designers must have a Visual Dairy to quickly record what comes up on their mind.
Concept Making
The raw sketches need to improve. Within this level, I use computer software to visualize the idea. Afterwards, I show it to the client. Usually client give me input so that I have to alter the design, that is why I use computer as it is easier to alter.
Get Real
I don't wanna say that every design needs getting real. However, building the design into real thing is still in design activity. During this level, my activities are: Drawing the working plan, communicating to the developer and managing the timeline. Be flexible! Reality is sometimes different from the imaginary. So don't worry if it goes different from the design.
Below is the image after the wall being covered by wallpaper:
So....
As I told you before, designers have their own way but basically the same. However, rules are made to be broken. If you are a beginner one, should you learn the rules. Afterwards, you must break them and create your own one.
