Which course do I take to study Interior Design?
Comments (8)College's do part time/ full time courses, I did HNC in interior architecture and then I swapped to architectural technology as I preferred the technical side more, but my classmates continued to HND and last month went on to 3rd year at uni studying interior design and love it. I agree that distance learning won't be very good, at college/uni you receive guidance from people who have studied architecture/ fine art/ graphic design/ 3D computer design/ live clients from the industry/ , not forgetting what you learn from classmates and feedback on your designs. It's a tough course that was a real eye opener for me as I really did think I was going to be matching curtains or something but it's defo much more than that and has made me in awe of interior designers and the the work that they put in....See MoreInterior Design App - Recommendations?
Comments (13)Oh you're too sweet! I've been thinking about my biggest challenges so I could pick one. A lot of them were actually practical or build related things - stuff that I didn't consider or couldn't foresee during my renovation and that I will do differently next time. What I'm finding surprisingly challenging now that I'm furnishing my home is: balance of colours and materials. I've been obsessing over interiors for as long as I can remember, and in my head I knew exactly what I wanted my home to look like. There is not one item of furniture that I purchased in a haphazard manner, I thought about function and style, I considered how it would tie in with the rest of the room, I created visuals...and still, now that it's all there, carefully arranged, it doesn't look like I wanted it to. Colour is a big aspect of it: what is the right amount of colour to inject so it doesn't look bland but still coherent? I like bright and white so I stick to neutrals for permanent items and bring in colour with decorative items that don't cost the world and can be moved and played with (that's with the exception of a brown chesterfield sofa that I've had for years and can't part with, an a black fireplace that must have been tiled by a blind person). Same goes for materials - I guess with an all white backdrop you can introduce materials more generously (?) but there is probably still something like a healthy medium. Is it ok to mix brass, steel, glass, fur, linen, marble...or is there a magic number to stick to? I have attached a photo of the living room I'm working on, as an example. I'll either remove the rattan chair or cover it with a sheepskin, the grey sofa will be reupholstered in a lighter fabric and the art over the mantle will be replaced with a mirror or a more toned-down canvas. Maybe these changes will solve my problem. But bottom line is, I was going for an urban industrial look and now feel that the room has got a granny touch, it's too girly. Anyway, materials and colour. I bet you're sorry now that you asked ;) x...See MoreCan I implement this kitchen into our design?
Comments (33)Hi Veronika. I do think this style of kitchen would suit your room or a pared back version anyway. Rockett st George would be the place for accessories, in fact the disco art is from there as is I think the bar trolley! I like the other design too which would look somewhat different once accessorised. I'm struggling to read the measurements but it looks as if you have the minimum clearance for the island? I've attached this article which may be of some help. Although I like islands that morph into tables I wonder I find the room is wide enough for it to be practical? I think I agree with Carolina and would separate it and add a banquette seat (try angel and boho). Depending on kitchen design I might also integrate the fridge freezer, you should be able to find one which has as much storage https://www.houzz.co.uk/magazine/10-essential-kitchen-dimensions-you-need-to-know-stsetivw-vs~77166332...See MoreInterior designer options
Comments (13)Hi Sarah, Thank you! It was actually made for us and was surprisingly simple to have done! Gina our designer (in the post above) did all of the measurements and gave us a specification to give to a carpenter / cabinet maker. He constructed it out of moisture resistant MDF and then we've just painted it and had custom cushions made. Having it all made was really very affordable. I am sure if you wanted something similar Gina would be able to help with a specification if you gave her the room dimensions- she's amazing :) Here's a couple of better pics of how it started and turned out; it was previously a small downstairs room that added little to the house and Gina came up with a design that incorporated it into the new kitchen to give us lots of space. To give a perspective on scale, the new table is 2.4m. Still needs a few more coats of paint but it's nearly done! Hope it helps! Best wishes, Claire...See MoreHamford Interiors
