IMPORTANT NOTES:
If you are interested in taking most or all of my courses, I have a recommended order in which to watch them (although it's certainly not required). I would start with "How to Design a Room in 10 Easy Steps" because most of my other courses are in-depth classes of the concepts touched on in this 10 step class. Following the 10 Step Course, Isuggest moving on to "How to Use Color Like a Pro", followed by "How to Work with Interior Design Styles Like a Pro", then "How to Use Lighting Design to Transform your Home", and finally "Design is in the Details". My other three courses, "How to Use Minimalist Interior Design to Live your Best Life", "Use Eco-friendly, Sustainable Design to Improve Your Life" , and "How to Design Your Dream Kitchen" are all stand alone classes on specialty topics within interior design, and therefore, can be taken in any order.
Please be aware that this course, or any of my courses, is not intended to provide all of the knowledge needed to become a professional interior designer. As with any professional field, there is a significant amount of education and/or experience that is needed to achieve competency in this field. My intention with these courses is to provide some solid foundational knowledge to assist either those individuals interested in "DIY" interior design to work on their own projects more effectively, or to provide supplemental education to both interior design students and professionals.
Who this course is for:
This is best suited for individuals with limited knowledge of interior design.
This course is for anyone who wants to learn how to create/design a well-pulled together looking room (e.
g., family room, living room, dining room, and bedroom). This course does not cover interior design for kitchens or bathrooms

While Interior design is my main career and passion, I also absolutely love to teach others, so I am thrilled to have found Udemy so that I can share that passion and knowledge with others just like you.
Are you a design enthusiast yourself?
Do you wish you could design rooms in your own home that are both beautiful and functional?
Do you wonder how interior designers make it look so effortless?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you are my ideal student!
Through my classes, I will show you how many areas of interior design can be broken down into simple-to-use processes and formulas, so that you can be successful in creating beautiful and functional rooms all on your own using an easy, systematic approach.
Ive been designing and redesigning rooms for as long as I can remember first for myself, then for friends and family, and finally decided to make it my full-time career. Today, I own my own thriving interior design business. I primarily work in residential design, but have recently expanded to commercial work as well. I also graduated from the Interior Design program at the New York Institute of Art and Design.
I hope youll join me in one or all of my classes, so you too can learn how to create your dream home!

though the course is relatively short, it is packed with nothing but useful and applicable teachings - things that you can do now. I loved video 25 when she used all 10 steps in just a few minutes.

I took up the corse just to try out something new as I am looking for new careear path and would like to take up on something more creative..like interior design. The course was perfect for this purpose.It gives the overal overview, touches upon lots of topics and aspects, is not obvious and not too basic, is engaging and generally very usefull. All material is presented in a comprehesible and interesting way, downloadable sourses are great too. Going to check out all five courses of this instructor.

For someone who has no prior knowledge or experience in interior design, I've found this course extremely helpful and clear with plenty of useful and practical tips on how to design a room. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to better understand the interior design process.
