    Hey builders !

    Here's the seventh and last part of my guide about modern style!
    Today's lesson is about natutral features!
    Disclamer, this part will be shorter than the previous ones because natural features aren't the most complicated thing to learn about modern. Now you know, let's begin.

    Vegetation
    Adding plants (pile of leaves on a fake trunk/cauldron) or more complicated trees to your modern interior is the simplest way to naturalize your house. The effect works even better with wooden walls.
    Flowers pots can also help with the decoration, I have an advice to give to a room a special touch, select a flower which is the same color as the room accentuation. Example:
    A green cactus looks good with the green tons of the room, it wouldn't have been the same with a rose or a blue flower!

    You know that modern builders use natural roofs most of the time, they also add vegetation to the walls, don't overdo-it though. Oh also, don't be afraid if you need to break your roof to fit an indoor tree, like in this flac server's Starbucks recreation:
    Let's say that pannels are sliding when it rains xD

    There's a final vegetation feature I enjoy making because they're perfect to fill the space, terrariums. Basically an indoor terraforming behind a glass. Unfortunately i didn't find any examples for the first time ever :/

    Adding water to your house
    Is there a better example for a natural house than the Fallingwater house? If there's someone on Brawl who has been there, you are lucky, I'd love to see it! So, it's located in Pennsylvania, was created in 1939 by Frank Lloyd Wright.

    And its Minecraft recreation, what were you thinking about?

    We were talking about terrariums earlier, you can also make aquariums, with fishes made of custom heads. One of my tip is to not filling it with water, an ice wall is enough for the illusion.
    The aquarium of this house is 3 floors tall!

    Thank you for reading!

    It's time builders, no more parts :( . You now have the necessary skills to build a decent modern house. If you think something needs to be added to the guides, feel free to tell me, I don't think I talked about everything!
    Well, I have a question to the community, should I invest some time and convert these guides into a Youtube series? If yes, should I talk with my french accent or explain by text? xD
    Would be quite cool, say your opinions down below.

    Good progress! I like your series; they teach me more about the main style I build, which is modern. The Build community should be grateful.

    About your P.S.:
    Just use the change color feature.
