“The course was brilliant. Thoroughly recommend to anyone interested in design and who sometimes becomes overwhelmed when making design choices. Sophie explains the colour and design principles in such an easy to follow and structured way. Can't wait to start my own design process for my office!”

Testimonial
“I was slightly undecided about doing the course, wondering if it was 'for me' and worth the investment? Now I can say a resounding YES to both those questions. I am a complete newbie to interior design, and it has really reignited my creativity and interest in making my home colourful and lovely. I am looking at almost everything with new eyes and noticing colours, patterns and textures even more. The course is beautifully assembled with a variety of teaching methods, video, text, audio, as well as a wonderful private Facebook group for ideas. It really is a delight and I thoroughly recommend it. Thank you Sophie.”

I have learnt so much and have already been out buying lots of scatters cushions, rugs, lamps, vases etc to inject life and colour into my home. I have loved ever minute of the course and would highly recommend it.

Take your time
I really believe in the go-slow decorating approach. Creating a stylish home isn't something to be rushed and works best if you percolate ideas and wait for the right things to come along. However it's vital you understand all the elements that make up a whole scheme so you make decisions that result in a room that hangs together in the end. You save time, money and can also make those heartfelt investments confidently. Ultimately the goal is a home that really resonates with who you are and can grow with you over time.

Brilliant (Pardon the pun)!
Vicki Marsh
Really rounded course covering all aspects of colour scheming throughout rooms, fabrics, accessories, paints and papers - so much more than I expected. Easily the best interiors course I've taken. I'm now going to start it again from the beginning!

Read LessFAQ
-
I've no training in interior design, is this the course for me?
This course has been written to appeal to everyone, from complete newbies all the way through to design graduates. However the focus is on helping you design a home for yourself rather than the emphasis on helping you design for a client.
-
I don't own my own home/ have an interior design project on the go at the moment- will the course still be relevant?
I think you will get the most out of this course if you have a room or even a whole house that you are planning to decorate. You can begin to implement ideas as you learn in your rented pad or present home, but to get the most out of the course you will put what you learn into practice by actually doing it. That's not to say that there is a lot to be enjoyed by simply absorbing the knowledge.
-
If I sign up and decide the course is not for me can I get my money back?
I really want you to be happy with this course, and I've no doubt you will be! However we offer a 14 day money back guarantee from date of purchase if you decide it's not for you.
-
Will you be availble to answer my questions?
This is a self led course and I've worked really hard to make it the best it can be so you'll learn all the tools to answer your own questions! I'm not on hand to answer your live questions but we have a thriving private facebook group, only accessible to people who have purchased my courses, which is a great place to connect and get feedback. If you have any technical problems with the course we are of course on hand to help.
-
What do I need to complete the course?
While this is mostly an online experience, you will need a sketch book and printer to carry out the mood board assignments. In terms of technology, all you need is a phone or camera to take pictures and a device to use Pinterest and Instagram (like your computer, tablet or smart phone). Thinkific is constantly updating in order to improve the platform so in addition to having the latest web browser, there are a few other requirements that will help ensure you experience Thinkific smoothly. Make sure your desktop/device has the the following; Javascript enabled, PDF plugin, Graphic and audio output capability, Broadband internet connection with ideally a minimum speed of 5Mbps and TLS 1.2 supported by your web browser. Thinkific currently supports the last two versions of the following browsers: Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Edge on your desk top and iOS Safari: 11 and up, Chrome and Samsung Internet on mobile devises.
-
Can I share my log in so my friend can enjoy the course?
Thank you for asking, but please No! When you enroll you get access for one user. I’d be absolutely thrilled if you wanted to recommend the course to your friends, but they would need to pay for their own enrolment. The way I make this course so affordable for everyone is by having multiple signups, so please respect that, and while we are here I'd really appreciate that you don't publicly share or publish any of the content. That would be an infringement of copyright. However sharing what you have accomplished during the course is actively encouraged! I can't wait to see those room reveals!
