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 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 course is for anyone looking to incorporate eco-friendly, sustainable interior design into their homeThis course is also for interior design professionals who want to add eco-friendly design practices into their business

Instructor Details

Erikka Fogleman

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!

By Mary Wilkinson on 7/4/2020

Good course. A bit lengthy. I feel as if the information repeats quite a lot and could have been consolidated down into more concise topics. Feel very informed about resources available and material was presented clearly.

By Ani Mihaylova on 6/27/2020

Thanks, Erika, you made me open my eyes for all the potential harms and benefits in my own home. This course was structured in a very schematic way, the tips given were great and I applied some of them already and what is more I did enjoy it a lot.

By Marilyn Rodriguez on 6/22/2020

I am going to start using eco-friendly furniture and furnishings when I need to replace something.
