You’ll gain a comprehensive foundation in all aspects of residential interior design, studying colour, furnishings, architecture, design theory, ergonomics, kitchen and bathroom design, building technology, materials and finishes, and lighting.

When decorating your home it’s best to start with the flooring and work your way up. Decide what kind of flooring you want, carpet or wood. Then choose a color for the walls. After that, work in your furniture or start looking at new furniture. Choose a few home décor elements that match everything and personalize the room. Finally, choose lightening elements that pull it all together.

Buying products secondhand is a key component of interior decorating on a budget. Peruse your neighborhood or online and discover a variety of traditional and unique decorating options. Look for detail pieces like decorative iron brackets or find new uses for traditional items. Sample an old iron gate as a pot storage rack on your kitchen ceiling or maybe an antique wood ladder as a plant stand.
