Surrey House Courses

A wonderful course packed full of insights, advice, colour and fun. So much detail imparted in just 3-days, but in a way that was digestible and memorable, with live examples and practical sessions that made it easy to learn and retain. Sally centres her approach to design around curated images. This really resonated with me as a very visual way of focusing on the colours, textures and balance of a design, and of looking beyond my usual 'go to' colour schemes. The course and Sally's ongoing support has given me the confidence to create not just a lovely house of my own (hers is amazing!), but also to look at future opportunities. I cannot recommend Sally's course highly enough. Great learning, lovely environment in her inspiring home, fun new friends, and delicious lunches!

I really enjoyed my 3 day course with Sally. It was very inspiring & great fun!! The course is held at her stunning converted dairy in Surrey. I had been on the fence regarding interior design but this course has certainly opened up my choices, the course gave me everything I need to look at my own home décor & design if I wanted to start a small business. Highly inspiring!!! Sally is an amazing teacher, her knowledge is incredible I learned much more than I thought I would in the 3 days. I would highly recommend Sally’s course It was great fun & I would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone who wishes to expand their knowledge & repertoire. Thank you Sally…

A super course! It was great fun and really inspiring. Sally is excellent at teaching the principles of interior design and so supportive and encouraging. The course is held in a small group in an idyllic, tranquil setting - ideal for total immersion into it. I have come away energised and eager to put what I have learnt into practice in sorting out my home.

I did not want it to end! Such a wonderful 3 day course in the most idyllic of settings. Sally is an amazing teacher and mentor, and provided the four of us students the must-have tools to start a business. I had been on the fence regarding interior design (and whether to make a career out of it), but now feel incredibly inspired to fulfil my dreams - with Sally by my side. Her beautifully designed home provides the perfect setting and backdrop for a course like this, and her homecooked food is sensational. If there was a follow up course, I would do it in a heart beat!

I really enjoyed learning more about the art and science of Interior Design with Sally. This is a practical, hands on course that gives you the tools you need to design your own house or start a business helping others design theirs. I really enjoyed the course and will use all of the principles Sally taught for many years to come. It is housed in Sally's own house, a gorgeous converted dairy where she teaches many lessons in situ with real life examples. The food was also incredible. Highly recommend.

Just completed a 3 day ‘intensive’ course with Sally. Absolutely loved it and learnt so much. Her knowledge is incredible and I came away buzzing with ideas to change things in my own home and to move our interiors business forward. Would highly recommend this course. Worth every penny. This was a small class of 5 and I’m looking forward to the catch up coffee morning in a months time. Thank you Sally x

A great 3 day course. I learned much more than I thought I would and came away with inspiring ideas. Lots of practical exercises. Lovely setting to learn in and very peaceful location.

An excellent course which is fun and informative. The course gives you everything you need to look at your own home decor and design or if you want to start in the world of interior design as a small business. I can’t wait to get started, thank you Sally.

I cannot recommend this course enough. The best thing I have done in years! Sally guides you through all aspects of Interior Design, imparting her extensive knowledge and hints and tips at every stage. From creating a beautiful, aspirational mood board to designing and curating the soft furnishings and laying out the design of the room. Her skills, professionalism and talent are second to none. You will leave feeling so positive, with an incredible portfolio, to enable you to go on and become an Interior Designer. I also met the most lovely people on the course and we keep in touch regularly. All of us have used our new skill set either in our own homes or professionally as a new career. Sally's course suits absolute beginners as well as accomplished Interior Designers as her wealth of knowledge is so helpful, whatever stage you are at in your career.

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!
