Why a clear path matters

Pinterest shows you beautiful rooms. It does not teach you to design them.

Most people who love interiors get stuck in the same place: endless inspiration, no method, and no idea where to begin.

Learning on your own
  • Not knowing where to start
  • Scattered tutorials in no particular order
  • Copying rooms you like without knowing why they work
  • Unsure which tools and software to learn
  • No idea how designers actually get paid
Learning with the Academy
  • Lesson one assumes you know nothing
  • A week-by-week path, each step building on the last
  • Understanding proportion, colour, light and materials so you can design your own
  • The tools working designers use, taught as you need them
  • A portfolio and your first paid offer
The programmes

Three steps, from your first room to your own studio.

Each builds on the one before it, so nothing is repeated and nothing is missed. Never designed before? Every programme starts from the basics.
