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.

This in-person event is perfect for anyone wanting to learn more about interior decorating and how to create a stylish and functional space. 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! This workshop is a fantastic opportunity to gain practical knowledge and insider tips from a professional in the industry. Don’t miss out as space is limited – sign upfor the Interior Decorating Workshop today!
