design 101
Go bold or go home! Nothing transforms a room like a lick of paint, especially in a standout colour. However, don’t go down this route out of a pure desire to be “on trend”. Advise clients to focus on choosing colours they simply love, and suit the space, as these will stand the test of time. Nobody wants to be repainting every year or two!
I was thrilled to be asked to take on a full house colour consultation - a paid job for a 'real' client … I rose to the challenge and found the entire process flowed relatively easily with the help of all the various course notes.
Since completing the course, I’ve taken significant steps toward expanding my design practice. I plan to launch ‘Be Inspired’, my own interior design consultancy offering creative, tailored solutions with a unique blend of fashion, forward-thinking and artistic vision.
The course offered by the British College of Interior Design covers everything you would need to know to start a career as an interior designer - whether that be starting your own business, working for an established interior design firm or working elsewhere in the industry.
I have been making professional floor plans and 3D visualisations for quite some time. My graphic background and photography experience eventually led me to the field of interior design. I was looking for something with which I could bundle, connect and expand the separate elements I offer my clients.
The hands-on projects helped me build confidence, and the expert guidance from instructors made learning both enjoyable and practical.
