These two photos above are the ones I used for the two tables I made, my designs ended up looking pretty similar to these photos but more rounded in my opinion. The side table I referenced had the general shape that I wanted my table to have so I used this picture as inspiration, I saw a lot like it when looking online for victorian side tables. My table however I went for a more simple approach using this reference as inspiration, I wanted to do this to match the coffee table that I planned to make. The coffee table above looks quite like mine did, I drew some sketches of ones inspired by this but always fell back to the same sort of design, the simple style shown above. I really liked how this looked as it is simple yet looks period accurate. All the tables I saw were obviously made of wood, I saw none that were painted, so when making my tables I went for a classic wood texture. Using references I think was effective in this case and was something I needed to do as a lot of victorian tables have nice curves and distinct detailing to them.

Above is the fireplace image I used as reference. I saw a lot of wood fireplaces online when i was looking, a lot of them had either tile patterned parts or marble textured pieces, I went for a marble look on my design as I wanted it to match in with the Vase and I wasn’t sure how to get a proper tile pattern onto my asset due to my lack of Maya experience. A lot of fireplaces I looked up were either really skinny or really wide, but then I found this reference picture of a replica victorian fireplace that I felt would look proportional to the room that I wanted to create. I used this as inspiration for my sketches. I did neglect to include the actual fire grate and leave it as an empty chimney in my design however as I was not sure how to go about creating this. It was helpful tho to have a reference image to look back on and my sketches to work off for the designs. I only used references for these 5 assets as I felt they were the only ones I needed a little help making correctly and accurately.
