style & DESIGN

The biggest mistake that untrained, novice decorators make is not having a coherent style that ties everything together. In this section of the course you’ll learn how to de-construct and reconstruct any style so that you can create innovative and individual de-signs that are beautiful and that reflect your client’s their tastes and ideals regardless of your own personal tastes and preferences.

visual communication

The biggest question most people have is, “Can you really teach me how to draw & communicate my ideas professionally?”

The answer is “Yes!”

Scaled drawings and mood boards are an important part of every de-signer’s work, not least because they will give you the chance to experiment with various layouts and design options before making any decisions. These tools can help you to avoid problems and expensive mistakes before they occur and they are also invaluable communication tools. In this section of the course we’ll show you how to create im-pressive presentations that will help to sell your ideas and ensure the job gets done the way YOU envision it.

colour

Colour is the strongest visual element in any interior design and even the most expensive materials will look cheap and garish if the colours are clashing. When a client is paying you to design their colour schemes you simply cannot afford to get this wrong! You’ll learn simple (yet powerful) tools and techniques so you can create winning colour combinations every time. Topics covered include:

• The Colour Wheel - how you can use it to develop colour palettes that work• Successful Colour Combinations - discover the secret of simultaneous con trast and how to make ANY colour look good• Working with Colour - using colour to disguise, emphasise and create illusions in your interior schemes• Colour Application - colour is still just one component of interior design; you’ll learn how to balance it with other style elements

Walls, floors and ceilings have considerable impact in our designs so you must choose these carefully but it’s not just about looks!

Well planned interiors balance creativity with practicality, by incorporating suitable materials that stand up to the wear and tear of everyday life. This section of the course examines the main products available for our interior surfaces and reveals the advantages and disadvantages of each, so you can design for function as well as aesthetics.

curtains & soft furnishings

Curtains and soft furnishings have many im-portant functions and can make or break an interior design. Window treatments can cost as much as major items of furniture; so you can’t afford to get it wrong.

In these lessons we’ll show you how simple techniques can be used to achieve an interior that is co-ordinated without looking predict-able or contrived.

“I haven’t always known that I have a passion for interior design, in fact it came into my life through serendipity. When I was starting my first business some years ago I noticed that I was paying much more attention to every little detail of the interior of the place, instead of focus-ing on other “more important” aspects of the business. The pattern repeated with my subsequent ideas and by that point, I knew that interior design is something that I am really curious about. I felt that it is a “language” I wanted to be fluent in, but I was lacking the tools, so I decided to do something about it.

I chose The Design Ecademy because the courses are certified and offered a lot of flexibility which was crucial for me. Embarking on this design journey with The Design Ecademy is one of the best decisions I have ever taken. The course has surpassed my expectations in every single way. The content is amazing - very well structured, very practical and down to the point. The workload is serious, and the work is challenging. But I am so happy that I get to push my boundaries and learn and get better every day, I don’t want to imagine my life without it.

What I like most about this course is that it gives me all the practical skills and knowl-edge I need to work as a designer, but I don’t feel it is superficial in any way– I am constantly reminded of the depth and all the amazing possibilities this field offers. I also love my tutor – she is incredibly knowledgeable, generous and supportive. I humbly admit that I have already started getting professional design work (outside of friends and family). I am now in the beginning of my second year and really look for-ward to seeing where this journey will take me.”

LIGHTING DESIGN Lighting can a space appear smaller or larger and it can highlight details and draw attention away from unwanted areas. Well-designed lighting systems enhance our health and well-being and homeowners and businesses alike can benefit greatly from improved lighting design. How-ever, successful lighting schemes must be planned at the beginning of a design project —so that wiring can be installed before decorating begins...

what you’ll learn...Different bulbs can drastically affect how colour appears while the light fixtures will determine how light is dispersed within a room and whether the result is a warm glow or an uncomfortable glare.

Lighting must also be flexible so it can change to match our moods and the various tasks we will need to perform over the course of a normal day.

These are the most critical factors to con-sider when designing lighting schemes and you’ll learn these and more, includ-ing the following...

• Technicalities of lighting – the fundamentals for interior designers• Categories of lighting – discover different lighting effects & how to achieve them• Lighting fixtures – how they dis perse light and how to apply this practically• Flexible lighting designs – devel oping designs that adapt with needs & mood• Switches & wiring – practical & safety considerations• Electrical Plans & specifications how to create RCP’s & wiring plans

Whilst studying with The Design Ecademy Fakhri was able to maximise the flexibility offered through online learning and continue with his own professional life at the same time. On completion of his HND he was promoted at work to the position of Interior Designer. With the experience and skills gained through working in the in-dustry and from his HND qualification he was soon able to work as a self-employed interior designer and Fakhri now has his own Interior Design business in Kuwait ser-vicing both residential and commercial clients.

Fakhri recently completed the final year of a BA Hons in Interior Design with an ex-cellent result. He was able to take the final “top-up” year because of the strong port-folio he achieved on his HND qualification gained with The Design Ecademy. As part of his BA qualification he created a design concept for a Town Hall / Restaurant con-version and you can see some examples of his work below & in the video opposite.

The Design Ecademy’s HND course is part of a BA Pathway. This means that The Design Ecademy has existing agreements in place with educational partners so that students who successfully complete our HND in Interior Design course may go straight onto the final year of a BA programme and use it as a “top-up” course. This is also completely online.

A similar qualification will not necessarily be part of a BA Pathway programme; in fact, it is NOT the norm. More often than not if you want to get onto the final year of a BA and your portfolio is not up to standard you will have to do a number of bridg-ing courses before you can progress onto that final stage.

emily poole (usa)“Everyone enjoys being pleasantly surprised; such was the case when I discovered The Design Ecademy. Not only is this school fully recognized but it also provides top quality instructors. The material is extremely well laid out and up to date with the latest design innova-tions. It is written for people with creative minds and so there are no fill in the blank answers or just check a b or c.

If you are looking to find an authentic and fully recog-nized education in design then I would suggest you enrol with The Design Ecademy.”

“However high your expectations are I assure you that you will not be disap-pointed.”
