Introduction Statement

Hello designers,

my name is Katie Rohrbach of Katie Rohrbach Interiors. Ever since I was about seven years old I have been designing interior and exterior spaces. I still hold onto some of the interior space drawings from way back then. My passion for design continued to grow as time passed by. After graduating high school I attended Bellevue College studying photography, art and design for about two years until I transferred to Washington State University to study interior design. Currently I am enrolled at Washington State University as a freshman in the summer program. This opportunity to study at Washington State University means everything to me and I will tell you why. When I was sixteen years old I had a grand mal seizure at one of my friends birthday parties and landed onto a glass/hardwood coffee table. Ever since that fall I have never quite been the same… the fall caused memory loss to come and go with each passing day since the accident. Four years later and I still struggle with remembering how to do certain activities or what I am supposed to do. The one thing that this accident can’t take away from me is my ability to design and create. Although I will have this ‘handicap’ the rest of my life I will always be able to do what I love; design and create. The world around me inspires my designs and I put everything I have into a project no matter how small. I will continue to expand on my understanding and elements in the Interior Design industry on my road to my future career as an Interior designer.

Bathroom Project





For the bathroom project I designed the bathroom for the two bedroom space in the hotel project we are currently working on. The same inspiration of the meaning of home applies to this design as understood through the song Amarillo Sky by Jason Aldean. I used very small tiles for most of the design so it was a bit challenging to come up with the drafted versions of the bathroom, however I pulled through and I love what I  came up with in the end. Above shows a floor plan measuring in inches as I learned that cabinetry is measured in inches and so are bathroom designs. The sink area and storage cabinets work together to create one piece of furniture. The woods matched and compliment the other piece very well. The sliding barn door for the main entrance of the bathroom is unique within it self but will suction cup close to keep smells in. The ventilation system in the bathroom should do a good job of eliminating smells and moisture though.
The majority of the materials used were from daltile and pentel. The glass door to the master bedroom keeps  it private from guests while allowing light to come through the opening.
