Specialization in Plant Decoration

“Final Project: Complete Transformation: From Empty Space to Personal Green Oasis Objective Transform a real space—whether it’s a bedroom, living room, office, or outdoor corner—into a vibrant green oasis that reflects your personal style. By combining design principles with expressive plant styling, you’ll create an environment that balances beauty, functionality, and well-being, showcasing everything you’ve learned throughout the specialization. Project Description Over the course of this specialization, you’ve discovered how plants can do far more than decorate: they can define atmosphere, elevate well-being, and express identity. With Dee Campling, you learned that interiors speak about who we are. Ale de la Cerda showed you how design and plants merge to create functional, balanced spaces. Daniel Virgnio revealed the expressive and emotional potential of vegetation, turning it into a language of color, shape, and life. Kathrin Grimm guided you through the practical and creative process of designing full-scale green spaces, from layouts to maintenance. Finally, Igor and Judith from Urban Jungle Bloggers inspired you to see plants as central to styling, helping you layer textures, shapes, and shades of green into thriving interiors. Now it’s your turn to bring all these perspectives together. The challenge is to design and execute a transformation that reflects your own vision of what a green space can be. Your final project is not just about adding plants into a room—it’s about curating a living environment where design and nature coexist, creating an atmosphere that feels uniquely yours. By weaving function, beauty, and emotion together, you will create a space that breathes, evolves, and tells a story. Project Components 1. Concept and Identity Define the purpose and emotional tone of your oasis: relaxation, creativity, energy, or connection. 2. Styling and Personalization Apply techniques to reflect your personal identity through textures, accessories, and plant placement. 3. Plant Selection and Functionality Choose species based on environmental needs, functionality, and design harmony. 4. Expressive Element Create a focal point with an artistic plant-based installation that tells a story or conveys a feeling. 5. Green Space Design Plan distribution, systems of care, and long-term maintenance for a functional, sustainable project. 6. Urban Jungle Touch Experiment with density, layering, and advanced styling to achieve a contemporary, lush atmosphere. Steps for Development 1. Define your concept: Write down the vision and mood you want your green oasis to convey. 2. Analyze the space: Take measurements, note natural light, and evaluate conditions. 3. Create initial sketches: Map out layout and possible plant arrangements. 4. Select your plants: Choose species that suit the light and style of your project. 5. Design the focal point: Develop an expressive installation that brings character to the space. 6. Plan for functionality: Consider watering, maintenance, and distribution to ensure long-term success. 7. Style and layer: Add textures, accessories, and final touches inspired by the urban jungle approach. 8. Document your process: Photograph and record before, during, and after the transformation. Final Deliverables • Design plan: sketches, distribution, and plant selection. • Personalized styling proposal: reflecting your lifestyle and identity. • Expressive plant installation: as the centerpiece of the space. • Green space design: functional plan including care and sustainability systems. • Urban jungle transformation: advanced styling with lush, layered results. • Visual dossier: photographic documentation of the before-and-after, plus process notes. This project is the culmination of a journey where you’ve learned to see plants as more than decorative objects—they are living design elements capable of transforming the way we inhabit spaces. By uniting styling, function, and creativity, you will turn an empty or ordinary area into a vibrant green sanctuary. Your completed oasis is more than a final assignment; it is a personal statement about how you envision harmony between nature and everyday life. Let this be the starting point for future projects—whether you continue designing for yourself, share your skills professionally, or simply enjoy the calm and energy your space now radiates. Celebrate the process, embrace the growth, and remember that every plant you place is part of a story only you can tell.”
