Course description

This course covers the basic principles and elements of design, the importance of room décor and the major categories of style types. We review the types of career options in the field of design, the components of a professional portfolio and the assessment of client needs. Basic knowledge of floor plans, window treatments, lighting, colour schemes and styles will be examined and implemented in a colour board presentation at the culmination of the course. This will become the first addition to a student’s portfolio.
