Surrey House Courses

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!

I have just been on Sally’s 3 day interiors course and really enjoyed it. Sally is so professional, a great teacher and really knowledgeable in this field. I would recommend this course for anyone wanting to gain knowledge and confidence in interior design.

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.

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.

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!
