Interior design and decoration courses in a Surrey country house - for business or for pleasure. The three day semi-professional course is for those wanting to decorate their home to a high standard themselves, or for those thinking of a change of career. Everyone leaves with a portfolio of work and a certificate. The courses are held in an award winning period property that has been decorated in a classic contemporary style.... the advantage of this (as opposed to being in a classroom) is knowledge is applied to a real life example.

Attended a course
I attended this course at Sally's beautiful home and I can't recommend it more highly. I really enjoyed it and found it extremely beneficial in helping me more forward in my chosen career. Sally is a true professional, who also takes the time to get to know the people on her course, so they get the best out of it. I would love to do it all over again!

I can't recommend this course highly enough. A three day course that covers all your interior design needs and interests. Sally is fantastic at encouraging you to look at things differently whilst finding your own style. I thoroughly enjoyed this and would happily do it all over again if I could!

I recently did Sally's three day course and loved it so much I decided to do the extension day also. I'm so pleased I did! The three day course was fantastic. Sally is so knowledgable, patient, kind and inspiring. I learnt so much during the three day course, it covered all the aspects for Interiors, including scaled drawing (particularly helpful as I'm currently redesigning both my bathroom and en suite), lighting and of course mood boards, fabric and furnishings. I think I learned more during those three days than I could have doing a similar course lasting a year! I did the extension day on Friday and was lucky enough to be the only one on the course. I have come away from that day so inspired and ready to start a new career. I cannot recommend Sally highly enough. If you're looking to do an interior design course, you need look no further!

Incredibly useful course, run by a great tutor ! Sally's knowledge and ability to convey it within such a short time is remarkable.
I've learned a lot and met talented and really nice people.
I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.

Student - 3 Day Course
I attended the three day residential course and loved every minute of it! If there was such a thing as a follow up course I would have signed up for it! As the group was small Sally was able to pay you a lot of individual attention, she was always encouraging and patient. Her passion for interior design is evident. It was the right balance between theory and practical; and it was lovely to work on your own ideas but see everyone else’s develop too. As the three days were staggered it gives you the opportunity to take on board and think about what you have learnt the previous day. We covered a lot of different topics and Sally was very forthcoming with ideas/websites/books should you wish to study topics to a deeper level. Thank you Sally.

3 Day Interior Design Course
This three day residential course is a must for anyone interested in going beyond basic interior design and is definitely value for money. Sally is a great tutor and encourages you to think out of your comfort zone as well as teaching you the tricks of the trade. You will cover a lot of skills and ideas over a short period of time and with everything supplied you will come away with a portfolio to treasure. The beauty of this course is that it is staggered over a week (3 days - every other day) giving you time to take in what you have learned,together with wonderful food and an idyllic setting!

I can't thank Sally enough for her knowledge, inspiration and encouragement on the 3-day course I attended. Learning about interiors in the comfort of her stunning home gives you style inspo from the get-go! Sally is a professional and really knows her stuff. The course was informative, fun and friendly and I came away completely buzzing with ideas. I'm doing my first mood board for a friend so am already putting what I've learnt into action.

Myself and four other ladies completed Sally's 3 day course a couple of weeks ago. I can wholeheartedly say that ALL of us had the best time. I absolutely loved it, Sally was a great teacher, very patient and because it was such a small group, was able to give us individual attention. I loved doing the mood boards, and it was great having all the bits and pieces readily available for us to use, including magazines, swatches, colour chart etc. If you're looking for some inspiration, or are planning on doing a project at home or for someone else, this course is a great foundation. thanks for an amazing 3 days Sally, I wish it had lasted a lot longer :) Tara

I have just attended the short course and found the mix of clever tips and logical planning easy to follow, giving me a framework from which to plan the interior design of my home.
Sally is a born teacher; knowledgeable, clear, patient and supportive.
Thank you for your good humour and encouragement, and for creating an oasis of calm from which to develop my ideas.

I have attended Sally's 3 days course and would highly recommend it. Sally is a truly inspirational, talented and charming lady who knows her subject well and very good at teaching it. Came away from the course a lot more confident, feel it was value for money as well as a lot of knowledge and new ideas - thank you Sally!!
