INTERIOR DESIGN COURSES IN A SURREY FORMER DAIRY
The short course is an intensive 3 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), a certificate, and information about a new way to decorate. This is a simple system that involves decorating around a picture - either art, or 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 towards the end of the week (10am-4pm) in the Spring and the Autumn, and numbers are kept low to allow for personalisation.
The cost is £1125 to include lunch and all of the equipment. A less expensive 2 day version will be available in May. Further details will be released soon.

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.
