About the final project for: Interior Design for Beginners: Decorating with Plants

Interior Design for Beginners: Decorating with Plants

“Congratulations, you have reached the end of the course! Thank you very much for choosing me as your teacher. For me it has been a pleasure to share with you a bit of the world of nature. Plants say much more than we imagine and feel more than we think. Now you are ready to carry out your final project. I share an example of how I would like to see your project: The space: First choose and analyze with all your senses the space where you are going to work. Write them down in your notebook. In addition, it collects all the information of the space. Make a sketch with all the measurements, orientation, location and size of windows and drafts.

The mood board: After viewing several books, choose the style you want to work with and define your goals. Create a mood board with the materials, colors, textures and type of plants you want to use.
The zones: With all the information you already have, create a plan by zones according to the sunlight it receives. It can be zone 1 (direct sun) Zone 2 (half shade) zone 3 (shade) and if you can mark it in your space with tape.
Get to work: Select the plants and pots according to the analysis you have of the conditions of the space and the style and all the information that we were talking about.
When you are carrying out your final project, remember all the benefits that plants bring to our life and our space. Follow your intuition, listen to your plants and if a process is not working for you, change it. Take the time to complete your project. Choose the style you like the most to work on, but if you like more than one, go ahead and do more than one project with different styles. Take this opportunity to relax, find peace and flow with nature. The world of plants is wonderful! Do not be intimidated by its magic and magnitude, I recommend that you flow with it and be very observant to create unique spaces in which your plants are happy. Share your process and your final project on the forum! I will be eagerly waiting to see it, also, I will give you feedback as soon as possible. But in the meantime, I invite you to share tips, tricks and anecdotes with the rest of your colleagues. Let's take advantage of the Domestika forum to make this community bigger. I say goodbye for now, but see you soon in the forum.”

Partial transcription of the video

“Final Project We've reached the end of the course. I hoped you've enjoyed everything we've learned. Now it's time to implement it. I think being in contact with nature is very important. Currently, in the fast-paced and technological world we live in, we've lost that connection to nature in our everyday lives. So, there's nothing better than bringing nature into our homes to make us feel good, since this helps us relax and reduces stress. What do nature and plants to for us in our spaces? They boost the immune system, they offer peace and tranquility, and they increase our creativity. Moreo...”
