About The School Of Interiors

Starting Your Interior Design Business

The school was developed over 15 years ago with a focus of education in the field of interior design, redesign and decorating.  Realizing that obtaining a 4-year interior design degree is not feasible for students who are already in the workforce and desire a career change, the school was born.  With more than 30 years’ experience in the interior design industry, the course was designed according to what techniques and theories have worked to build a successful interior design firm.  From working in the industry, networking and nurturing client’s needs.

This fast track way of teaching in topics of how to choose paint color, paint color projects and assignments, how to measure a room for details to create a to scale furniture placement floor plan.  Creating a computerized generated furniture placement floor plan and design layouts, creating mood boards, learning how to conduct a professional design consultation, how to start your own interior design business and marketing turns students immediately out into the interiors working world and ready to begin their own business.
