*Intro to Principles of Interior Design- Create Your Own Interior Design Binder FLEX Class

In interior design, there are many factors that are carefully considered in order to create a specific look for an individual room in a home, office, or other environment. This class will introduce your student to the many factors and elements of interior design. Concepts include types of interior design, design styles, design concepts, steps to designing a room, career opportunities, and more.

Each week I will post videos teaching the topics listed below, as well as a pdf of the assignments to be completed. These assignments are merely teaching the student to take notes as they follow along with each lesson, allowing them to have a complete binder to reference once the class is over. 

Midweek I will also post a challenge assignment, allowing students to interact with each other while discussing interior design. Some weeks we may break down a photo of a room and discuss what is working or what isn't working. Another week I will post a room and send them on a hunt to find the perfect accessory to complete the room. By the end of the class each student will have designed a room of their choosing.
