Interior Decorating Workshop

After teaching an Interior Design Guidelines course to a sold out crowd at North Island College’s Elder College, I have an appreciation for just how thirsty people are for this knowledge so have created a workshop to take place in my Interior Design Studio.

As an Interior Designer, I will guide you through the essential principles and techniques, covering topics such as color schemes, furniture arrangement, and lighting for the first two hours. In the third hour, we’ll get hands-on, working with paint, fabric and tile samples.

Get ready to unleash your creativity and transform your home into the space of your dreams!
