The short course is an intensive 2 day interior design course taught by a graduate teacher in an award-winning property. It is aimed at those wanting a professional finish in their own home, but it is also for anyone looking for a new direction.

 

The key principles of design and decoration are explained and illustrated with lovely examples. Everyone leaves with something to treasure (their portfolio), and information about a new way to decorate. This is a simple system that involves decorating around a picture - either art, or more usually, from another source such as a styled magazine shoot. These 'curated images' result in a more original look, and make the whole process of decorating a room virtually foolproof. It really is a trailblazing new way to go about design (hence the Telegraph award).

​

For those looking for a new direction, the portfolio can be taken to interviews, and the extension pack used to kick-start a small business.

​

Each course is highly structured to ensure excellent results in minimum time - and standards are high - but the approach is friendly and kind so everyone is welcome. They take place on a Thursday and Friday (10am-4pm) in the Spring and the Summer, and numbers are kept low to allow for personalisation.

 

The cost is £800 to include lunch and all of the equipment. All courses are now booked up to (and including) the 1st and 2nd of May 2025, but do get in touch if you would like to go on the waiting list and/or  be informed of more course dates thereafter.

INTERIOR DESIGN SHORT COURSE INCLUDES:

 

A black fabric portfolio case with mount board and art sleeves, a scale ruler, a colour wheel imported from the States, a booklet with all the key principles, and the extension pack.

​

Lunch takes place in the 54ft former milking parlour where you look out onto a garden designed by a Chelsea gold medal winner - it really is a course like no other!

  • The key elements of good design including space planning

  • Understanding style
