Hi all,
I´m having a creativity block
I been doing houses for a while now, but for some reason I´m not full satisfy with the result, I feel there is something missing in my images to make a house look like a house (cozy feeling), is a little hard to put so much customs things because I have to produce a new house every 3 days at least, of course I try/have to recycle assets, my boss is happy and the customers too with the result, but not me .
I can´t put so much dirt and aging because are new houses.
Maybe the ideas order in my writing is a little messy
Some one can point me out tips or any help?

Really appreciated
JC

Not sure if you are talking about exteriors or interiors if you are talking about interiors....

Have you been looking through lots of catalogs from housewares stores? Crate and Barrel, West Elm, CB2, Pottery Barn etc.? I've found that super helpful. Those photographers and set dressers or paid to make a house look appealing, so I like to just rely on them when trying to figure out The good thing about Crate and Barrel, West elm, CB2 specifially, is that they are sorta modern and use lots of simple shapes of objects when decorating. SUPER quick and easy to recreate.

Thanks for the tip , I have a copule of Ikea catalog and some interiors book as well to get some inspiration.
At this point I´m focus only in exterior, we don´t make "key in hand" houses.

how about a little music..

Always working with good music is a must and make the working time more pleasant. , but not that kind of music

Yeah I´m trying to have fun, thinking what time of the day I could represent each houseand so on.

I asked permission to my boss to upload one of the houses that we make, is always good see another point of view.


Cheers and thanks to all
