Interior Design Project. Assigned 4/1, due 4/8 - MAJOR

 You will use Canva to create a mood board for the room of your choice, considering color, light and texture.  You will choose a design style for the room, either your favorite or another you learned about in one of the previous Interior Design assignments or elsewhere. You will have two more assignment in the Interior Design module after this, one will be a reflection on this project and the other a daily assignment considering room layout. You have two class periods to complete this project. On Tuesday next week, you will do the reflection and the last interior design assignment.

1. Login to Canva, in What will you Design, search for Mood Board and select one you feel will work well with the style and/or color palette of the room you plan to decorate. 
2. Title your Mood Board 'Your name's Design Style Room Name' e.g. Diego's Mid Century Modern Living Room or Claire's Modern Farmhouse Bedroom.
3. Select a color palette for your room using what you learned in the preview assignment. Include up to FIVE colors that work well together, including a primary neutral color. You can find a swatch for the color palette online or use one that is pre-loaded in Canva. 
4. Make the background of you mood board the color that you would paint the majority of the walls in the room (a low key neutral color works best!). If your template is already that color, you may keep it as is.
5. If you wish you may include a painted accent wall or feature wallpaper, include a paint chip or wallpaper sample that reflects that.
6. Include something on your mood board to show the entire color palette you will draw from for your room. It could be the paint palette itself or an decorative object or piece of furniture, label this paint palette.
7. Search online for pieces in the design style you have chosen with colors as near as possible to the color palette you have chosen for your room, include images of at least the following pieces of furniture and large decor items dependent on which room you choose to create the mood board for.
   • Living room - Sofa, accent chair, rug, coffee table and/or accent table(s).
   • Bedroom - Bed, end table(s), chest of drawers, dresser, rug.
   • Dining room - Dining table, chairs or benches, accent chair(s), rug, storage item such as a buffet or a bar, 
8. Find and include images of at least FIVE decorative items that coordinate with the furniture and are within your color palette. Include items appropriate for your room choice such as art work, throw pillows, clock, blankets, bedding, curtains, baskets, foot stools, storage bench, ottoman, plant, laundry basket.
9. Within these items or in addition to, include at least TWO pieces of furniture or decor with varied and interesting texture. Label those items to indicate that they are the ones which bring texture in to the room.
10. Include at least two light fixtures that coordinate with your furniture and decor items that would work in your space.
11. For each of your items, use the background remover tool in Canva to get rid of the background so that only the item itself is visible. This way you can see if it works with your wall color or note. 
12. Resize items to scale relative to each other once you have selected everything so you can get a better idea of how everything would work together. 
13. Move the items around so that they are clearly displayed on the mood board and it is easy to view all items. 
14. When you are done save your file as a .PNG and post it on your Google Site, on a new subpage called Interior Design Project.
