@okto said: @pbacot said: Your color scheme made me think of this picture from Picasa. It is from Morocco I think. Not the exact colors but shows how strong colors might be used. Perhaps someone can paint a scene like this as faux portal on the wall. that a very strong colours. and the ornament on the upside section, is very beautiful. can you tell me what it is? so ethnic.. It is Moroccan. What sort of building I could not say. Search online for images of Moroccan things like "column" you will see the use of plaster work patterns (or bas relief), geometric designs, and the wonderful uses of color. Fabrics might be a good way to introduce these designs into the decor. As said in one of Solo's links @unknownuser said: :The hypnotic style of Moroccan decorating incorporates colorful tile combinations, with unique plasterwork and painted surfaces gracing walls, arches and pathways. Extravagant taste found in paintings, rugs, pottery, woven bedspreads and unique pieces of furniture comprise the popular Moroccan motif.

Hi, okto: You may be able to get some early working knowledge of Sketchup by tutorials produced by Aidan Chopra, available on youtube.com There is also Sketchup Go2School on the internet. There are numerous other tutorials on youtube. If formal certification is required- in Sketchup- you may also do a search on this. Which is what I will be doing after this reply. In Sketchup, in the top line menu(ribbon) under Window> Instructor, is help on use of the Sketchup commands/ tools while you are in a model session. These are just a few ideas, and you may discover others while searching.
