Al Powell
Transformative Learning Experience in Design

I joined with the intention of hiring a designer, but due to the high costs, I opted to learn design myself instead of merely imitating ideas from various online sources. The academy provided me with a deep understanding of my space, how to utilize each room effectively, and how to prioritize circulation and proportions over mere aesthetics. As I renovate an older property, the advice on custom joinery has been especially beneficial, particularly in navigating awkward or unique areas. I also had uncertainties about fabric choices; I previously lacked knowledge on what was appropriate for different spaces. Now, I have a solid grasp of rub counts, durability, and sourcing fabrics, making my decision-making process significantly smoother.

Empowered to design my own space

I enrolled because I initially wanted to hire a designer, but the costs were prohibitive. Instead, I decided to learn about design myself rather than merely mimicking ideas from online platforms. The academy provided me with a deeper understanding of how to utilize my space effectively, focusing on circulation and proportions rather than just aesthetics. The guidance on custom joinery was particularly beneficial for my renovation project, especially in challenging areas. I now feel confident about fabric choices, understanding durability and sourcing, making decision-making much easier.

Realizing the importance of details

Before taking this course, I didn’t realize how many small details contribute to effective design. The academy helped me transform from feeling stuck to feeling empowered and ready for my renovation. Everything was broken down into manageable steps, which was exactly what I needed! I truly enjoyed the course and will continue to revisit it as a valuable resource. Thank you immensely for this experience!

A glimpse of greatness without purchasing

Honestly, I haven’t bought the course yet, but I’ve learned so much from the free content provided. The generosity in sharing insights on social media is commendable, especially about the less glamorous aspects of the industry. Unlike some designers who may seem standoffish, the approach taken here makes everyone feel valued and motivated, regardless of budget. I’m writing this review to support the effort and express gratitude for the authenticity and professionalism shown!

Valuable insights for working professionals

As someone already employed in a design studio, I found the academy to be a great source of reassurance. It validated much of what I already knew while also highlighting key mistakes to avoid. The emphasis on important dimensions has been incredibly useful, and I’ve printed the workbook for regular reference. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and would highly recommend it to anyone considering enrollment.

Engaging and practical design education

I chose this design course due to my admiration for the interiors showcased. I wanted to learn about the creation process, materials, and techniques involved. Currently, I’m enjoying the course, which is structured well. Some repetition aids in memorization, covering various topics like eglomise mirrors and natural stones. The course delivers on its promises, and I appreciate that.

A go-to guide for interior design

I absolutely loved this Interior Decorating Course! It's one of those rare courses that you keep revisiting — a genuine reference guide filled with practical insights and trade secrets. The lessons on measurements and allowances alone have transformed how I approach my decorating projects. The clarity of explanations is commendable — no fluff, just valuable knowledge from an industry expert. It’s not just theoretical; it contains those essential details that distinguish a professional finish from an amateur one. This course has significantly enhanced my confidence and provided tools I’ll use for years. Highly recommend it to anyone serious about crafting beautiful, thoughtful spaces.

Comprehensive and enjoyable learning experience

I am finding this course to be extremely helpful. The attention to detail, accompanying workbooks, and practical tips are fantastic, along with numerous valuable resources. Recommendations for key suppliers are particularly beneficial. Even in areas where I felt experienced, having a second opinion from someone knowledgeable has been encouraging. I always wanted to take a course and am thrilled I chose this one.

Beautifully structured and insightful course

Having wanted to pursue interior design since school, I finally decided to follow my passion after a long career shift. The timing of this course announcement was perfect. I signed up without hesitation and am grateful I did. The course offers invaluable insights into the design process, covering essential details at every stage. I appreciated the balance between aesthetics and practicality, often overlooked in the field. However, I would love to see more budget-friendly examples, as the current focus leans towards high-end luxury. Overall, I loved the course and would recommend it to anyone considering a career in interior design.
