Course overview

Making a home is one of the most basic, almost primitive instincts we have. Is your home the way you would like it to be? Do you know how to choose the correct colour schemes? Interior Design is a minefield of options and decisions which become less daunting as your course lessons progress. This course is full of tricks of the trade and simple suggestions to help you develop your skills to enhance your own space, whatever its style or size. We would hope that as a result you will feel stimulated to experiment with new ideas.
