This course will give you an insight into the world of interior design and inspire you with the confidence to present your own schemes.
It's ideal if you are considering further studies in interior design and wish to start your portfolio.
This is a practical and creative course with some theory and research and is delivered through informal talks and visits to local places of design interest.
What will you gain?
You will gain experience of undertaking an interior design scheme and also an understanding of its application in the domestic, residential and commercial sectors.
From simple plan drawings you will gain an understanding of scale before applying colour, furniture and furnishings.
By the end of the course you will have:
- created a finished, or almost finished, interior design project
- built a portfolio of new work
- developed an awareness of the vast range of information relevant to interior designers
- had plenty of fun.
