Course Summary

This course introduces learners to the essentials of interior design through a combination of design theory, creative thinking, and hands-on digital practice using SketchUp. Across two blocks of 5 classes, students will learn how to understand space, use colour and materials effectively, plan furniture layouts, work with lighting, and communicate their ideas visually.

Part A gives students the confidence to understand and design a simple interior space using essential design principles and beginner SketchUp skills.

It is designed to stand on its own as a complete beginner course. Students who complete only Part A will still leave with a strong foundation in interior design and a finished mini room concept.
