An interior designer considers many design matters including the needs of the end user, creating interior spatial layouts, and improving circulation and function. The interior designer’s role also embraces material specifications, designing bespoke textiles, fittings and furniture, and selecting colour palettes and lighting schemes. Students will learn interior decorative arts, trends, fashions and textiles, architectural drawing techniques, 2D and 3D industry-standard CAD, history of design and architecture, plus the essentials of professional practice. These are all applied into their core creative design studio projects. Projects replicate professional practice ensuring students are ready for the design profession. Students can work on live projects with real clients and enter prestigious competitions such as those offered by the Royal Society of Arts.
