What you'll learn in this interior design course:

Interior design projects may involve totally new construction or the renovation, modernization, or refurbishment of an existing facility, space, or room. This course is intended for people who are considering a career in interior design. It provides a broad introduction to the profession and an overview of the education and requisite skills. The emphasis of this course is residential, a branch of interior design that typically includes specialties such as kitchens, bathrooms, home offices and custom furniture. 

Through class discussions and select residential projects, students explore a variety of essential design topics such as; the principles and elements of design, the use and application of color, space planning standards, and assembling furniture, materials, surfaces, textures, and color schemes. Key residential design resources such as manufacturers, showrooms, and suppliers are explored. Students shall be provided with details regarding the purchase of required drawing materials and supplies at the beginning of the course. 

Online learning students will participate in active discussions with their fellow students and the instructor. Online learning students will need access to a computer (with audio capability such as speakers or headphones), scanner, and digital camera. Student projects are assembled in either PowerPoint (Windows operating system) or Keynote (Mac operating system) format.

Question from Paola G.
Hello! I am very interested in this class but I have some questions. I have basic knowledge of architecture but never work in that field, I am interested in starting a career in ID, but I have not been in a classroom in a long time. I would like to know if this class is the right one for me. Also, once the course is done are we going to get any kind of document or something that prove that we had taken the class ?? Thank you!
Answer from Georgia C. CourseHorse StaffCourseHorse Staff
Hi Paola! The Introduction class will require 2 hours of work per week. It's meant to be a fun introduction to some of the basic skills and ideas. It is not for academic credit, so it's pretty low-pressure, by design. The topics include furniture layouts, using a scale ruler and the basics of hand drafting, creating a color scheme, working with textiles, and putting together a basic design presentation.
Answer from Georgia C. CourseHorse StaffCourseHorse Staff
With only 12 students in the class, there is a lot of time to interact with the teacher and other students, and ask questions. You may request a certificate from the Office of the Registrar upon successful completion of the course.

Expensive for what the course teaches. Emphasis was on completing weekly homework and critiques, instead of actually teaching the hows and whys of interior design. Ideal class if you really don't know anything about interior design/decoration.

A good feel for an intro class, but be prepared for homework. Emphasis was on completing weekly projects and critiques, instead of actual teaching the hows and whys of interior design. Ideal class if interested in a career change.

Reviewed by Anonymous on 7/26/2019
Good overview of basic ID skills but too ambitious for a 6 week course. Wish there was more teaching/learning during class time, as much of the time was used for student presentations. Most of the course content was self-led with online modules. Class should likely be 3 hours instead of 2, or 8 weeks instead of 6. Was still fun, nonetheless
