Interior Design Schools

Interior design is now a very popular profession, as more and more individuals find it challenging to come up with creative and technical solutions in order to achieve a well-built interior environment. This field combines creativity, aesthetics and business, making this an interesting prospect for many individuals. If you are one of these individuals who love to turn something into a creative work or piece, you must enhance your skills and talents by going to an interior design school.

An interior design school is a creative avenue, where you can acquire the knowledge and enhance the skills to push your creativity to the limits. Here you will not only learn the basics of interior design - you will also be trained in color coordination, design and layout of furniture and other interior structures and placement of interior lighting. These will help you develop your skills to arrange and design interior settings that are attractive and appealing, as well as functional with use and form.

Aside from the basics, interior design schools also give advanced training to those individuals who want to further enhance their interior designing skills. This will help you build on your design foundation and add new elements of business and finance. An important skill enhanced here is your ability to work with clients. In interior design, it is important that you know how to deal with your clients in order to have good coordination for the success of the entire project. You also learn the idea of budgeting, sales and promotion that are also important if you wish to establish your own business in this field.

RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2011


I had no idea what to expect from the ultimate flower show
aka The 98th RHS Chelsea Flower Show in London


Peony


Such a feast for the eyes!

Amazing vignettes 
where you would love to just bring a book and linger
Forever


Fever-Tree's 'Tree House Garden'
Silver Medal


The designers were very approachable 
& happy to discuss their area
with take-home plant lists


'A Postcard From Wales' by Kati Crome & Maggie Hughes
Gold Medal


There were many displays of 'living' walls and roofs

Here is just one example




I loved the creativity
and pushing of boundaries


The Irish Sky Garden
Gold Award


According to the BBC, designer Diarmuid Gavin
was inspired by the film Avatar
to create this aerial garden

It moved by crane and gave VIPs a ride

This annual flower show is known for being 'over-the-top'
{which it was}

and for being hoity-toity
{which it was not}


Nong Nooch Tropical Botanical Garden
Gold Award


Incredible craftsmanship & detail


This STUNNING display was covered in dried flowers
and the entire floor was draped in fresh orchids

Inside the Great Pavilion were exhibitors
specializing in
every flower imaginable


Roses


Lotus


Himalayan Blue Poppy
My first time to see this rare and difficult-to-grow flower


Apparently one of the biggest challenges this year was the weather
for it has been unusually warm and dry here

Can you image the stress of having your blossoms peak on a particular day
(day of judging)?

Techniques included 
refrigerating plants
wrapping buds in cotton wool
& a gentle blast of warmth from hairdryers

And this was the place to spy the petaled contestants for 
'Plant Of The Year' Award


Like a 'Best In Show' for flowers

And the 2011 RHS Chelsea Flower 'Plant Of The Year' Award went to...


Anemone 'Wild Swan' shown by Hardy's Cottage Garden Plants
'Plant Of The Year'


...Anemone 'Wild Swan'

The typical problem with white flowers is that  
they rarely offer a pure white color

Yet this delicate-looking anemone was not only 
yummy-cake-frosting white white,
but some of the undersides of the petals were a lovely purple

Can you stand it?!

And I always know I am at the right place when I see the film crew
(like on the Royal Wedding route)





More than 150,000 will visit this year's RHS Chelsea Flower Show over 5 days
Here are just a few of them ;)




And I was glad to see some of these guys in the
floral spirit


Outside RHS Chelsea Garden Flower Show


Flittering between so many beautiful flowers and gardens, 
I was one happy butterfly by the end of the day
