Unit A
Learn about the elements and principles of decorating, as well as the role of the professional interior decorator. You’ll study focal points, color theory, and become familiar with various room styles. The first business unit of the interior decorating course focuses on the details involved in starting your own business with your interior decorator certificate and becoming your own boss!
Unit B
Discover basic design materials such as wood, concrete and stone, and learn how they can be used in different rooms – for example, using geometric, colored concrete to create an edgy bathroom design! Glass, ceramic and plaster are just a few of the modern home design materials that you’ll explore in this unit of your interior decorating class. Next, learn how to measure and sketch the dimensions of a room. Use these skills to draw floorplans which will provide your clients with a bird’s-eye view of your home design plans.
Unit C
Study lighting functions and fixtures, and learn how to create certain moods using cool, warm and neutral lighting within a space. Compare different window treatments and learn how to create illusions, such as wider and taller windows using certain rods and valances. Create custom interiors by showcasing home accessories using shelves and cabinets, and properly arranging artwork. Build your professional design portfolio, and learn how to give a professional consultation in the second business unit of your interior decorating course.
Unit D
Learn about the balance, visual weight, and traffic patterns of a room and how to harmoniously place furniture within different spaces. You’ll study various types of wall treatments such as textured finishes and specialty interior painting techniques, and learn how to use them in order to alter the appearance and feeling of a room. As part of QC Design School’s Interior Decorating Course, you’ll also learn the interpersonal skills required in order to work effectively with different client personalities.
Unit E
Learn how to create home design plans for the most important spaces in the home, including the bedroom and kitchen, using function, style and personality. Explore contemporary color, lighting and furniture and how they work within the home. Be introduced to drawings, design diagrams and pencil sketching that you’ll use in your interior decorating jobs. Learn how to present your final design to clients, which is one of the most valuable skills you’ll acquire during your interior decorating training.
