Home Environment Project Resources

You can learn more about home design by completing one of the project activity guides:

• Home Environment: Color, Texture, Line and Shape (Level 1)
• Home Environment: Design Decisions Resource Guide

Project manuals may also be available to purchase at the Marion County Extension office, and older editions of manuals (if available) are free. Contact us to ask about availability!

Keep track of what you learn using a home environment record sheet.

Find sample room layouts and design boards on the Indiana 4-H home environment project page (scroll down to “Publications”).
