Course details

This soft furnishing course, designed for aspiring professional designers, will provide you with invaluable advice and practical guidance to avoid those expensive mistakes and make sure that your designs will work - first time. As a professional designer, it is essential to provide bespoke furnishings, rather than purchasing ready-mades. This lecture based course, complimented with a few short group activities, will teach you how to brief curtain makers and upholsterers. You will acquire the terminology, used by the trade, to confidently discuss ideas as well as gaining guidance on specifying appropriate fabrics and understanding fabric labels. You will also be introduced to a range of fabric based items that designers use to create bespoke interiors and consider solutions for 'problem' windows. Please note that this course will not teach you how to put fabrics and colours together.

Course Outcomes

You will have a greater understanding of the terminology used in the interior design trade and communicate more effectively with trade suppliers to avoid pitfalls. You will be able to interpret the information on a fabric label. You will be aware of the range of window treatments and understand how to select the most suitable option for the space.
