What do Interior Designers do? How many times have you walked into a home, an office, an upscale hotel or restaurant and were struck by the beauty of your surroundings? Maybe the decor is sophisticated, modern, and urban. Or maybe it suggests a comfortable country house or a traditional colonial estate. A well-designed environment makes you want to stay or return; a badly-designed environment makes you want to leave and never come back. Interior designers are the people who wield all this power over your mood by designing indoor environments that are pleasant, safe, and yet functional. Some interior designers specialize in large projects such as hotels, hospitals, airports, or major office buildings. Others work on a smaller scale, helping clients to design their private homes.
You will learn that interior design is so much more than choosing paint colour and hanging up paintings on the wall. The focus of study is on the environmental design of the home, office or commercial space, the design of products and furnishing, and materials that will enhance the aesthetic and functional systems.
This course provides intensive training for students to become professional interior designers. Emphasis is placed on space planning, creative problem-solving, communication skills and knowledge of building materials, construction, computer-aided drafting and the history of design.
As part of the interior design training and education, the study of Interior Architecture encompasses the study of both architectural and design content within a built environment, while focusing on the human interface within a given space. Our classes provide an intense and yet nurturing training environment for students aspiring to become a professional interior designer.
