Interior Design Fundamentals

About this course

Learn how designers turn empty rooms into spaces that work beautifully. Over seven days you will follow the professional design process, from understanding a client brief and measuring a space to planning layouts, choosing colours, materials and lighting, and selecting furniture that fits both the room and the people who use it.

The course is project-based. You will develop a complete concept for a real or sample space and present it with mood boards and sample boards, just as you would to a client.
