I loved your course, the photos are great way to understand the styles and the way how you described every style was really easy to understand. thank you!!

Informative overview and gives a good understanding of personal and interior design styles. The conclusion is helpful to understand how architectural and interior styles overlap and work together.

Excellent value, relatively short but really informative and I was able to learn a lot as it goes. Truly outstanding teaching. Thank you !

Enjoyable course and learning a lot about varying interior styles. Finding the course laid out well. Key concepts are helpful. Easy to navigate and review. Enjoy the examples at the end where you can see design styles in real spaces as well as design boards with ideas for a particular style. Enjoy the narrator and she moves at a good pace.

Overall decent course. I particularly appreciated the mention, even if ever so lightly grazing the significant impact and influence that Afrcian design and style has had on 'traditional' and 'modern' interior design. I am a novice in design, but I've travelled extensively throghout Africa and have a pretty good grasp of World History. While I understand the instructor's having stated that there is no clear distinct, African style, I think that the statement is a gross understaatement. For instance, the geometric patterns associated with Art Deco (in the photos presented) ... is distinctly West African, as are many, many of the shapes and forms associated Art Deco today. The entrie Victorian era was heavily influeneced by Africans, the African diaspora of North America, East Indian, Chinese and Indonesian cultures and styles. Itialian style is heavily influenced by Greek Style, which is heavily borrowed from North and East African design and style-pre Islamic and Arabian influence. Eastern and Southern African design style has had a PROFOUND influence on what has been called Bohemian, American Western, and Californian in the United States. Melanie, I support the strides and efforts African designers make to keep Africa's contributions from being boiled down to "Morroccan".

This course was excellent. It provided great information about popular styles. I loved how everything was written out, it made it easy to follow along and to create notes. The examples were clear and easy to follow. I would recommend this course!
By Stephanie Terry on 12/30/2020
A great overall taste of many different design styles. It was helpful to see how they overlap and how to determine the predominant style. Thanks
By Qiaoyi An on 12/24/2020
Very brief intro to all the styles. Wish the course would give more explanation to all different answers to the quiz questions and also more examples
By Eva Heurkens on 10/6/2020
Great course that gives you a better understanding of the many architectural and interiors design styles.
By Michele Alves Laurindo on 6/28/2020
Fantastic resume of the main architectural and interior styles...but I think you'd have to have a basic understanding of art history to easily absorve most of the content. Great for those who are somewhat familiar with the subject.
