Designing Spaces with Colors and Shapes

To open the course, hear a little about the journeys of business partners Fábio Marx, Nicholas Oher, and Paloma Bresolin and how they came to create their studio, OHMA. They also share their biggest sources of inspiration and some of their favorite projects to date.

Start by learning how to interpret a client brief, translating it into a series of feelings and concepts to use in your search for reference materials for your project. Then put together a mood board organized by materials, textures, and colors to convey all the different elements and overall feeling of what you hope to achieve with your design.

Now get to work on your project exploring how to apply the ideas you've gathered to your space. Next, use SketchUp 3D to test out combinations of colors, finishes, and objects until you're happy with the final result.

Wrap up the course seeing where to place pieces of furniture and how to add the finishing touches to achieve a vibrant yet cozy feel. Get some final tips on sharing your work on social media and attracting new clients.
