Learn to decorate and transform a space through fabrics, colors, textures, and fibers
Textiles are a versatile decoration material that, when used properly, have the ability not only to dress up a room, but also transmit feelings through the sense of touch. According to designer Rocío León, founder of Chío León Studio, textiles are a world of their own within the interior design universe and stand out as one of the fastest ways to transform any space.
In this course, learn how to work with and incorporate textiles into your interior design and decoration projects. Discover when it's best to apply one color over another as well as how to experiment with textures, such as linen and cotton, and qualities, such as twill and velvet. By the end, you'll know how to design spaces that awaken all five senses using fabrics.

The course seems to be interesting , the teacher is great but sadly it was hard to follow the english subtitle: lots of mistakes ... all the value of the course is lost . Please consider adding English audio and if possible translate the additional resources.

PlusAl igual que un textil, Chío León, fue tejiendo la trama de los temas de una forma majestuosa; este es un curso que no puedes dejar de seguir adelante, regresarlo para corroborar lo que se entendió y salir a ver en las tiendas lo que estas aprendiendo; en apariencia con una duración de 2:34 hrs que en realidad se convirtieron en dos o tres veces mas, ello habla de la pasión y el conocimiento del tema que en tan poco tiempo logra transmitir a quienes por fortuna accedimos a este curso.
