This course is designed with you in mind. You will learn how to transform your livingroom - which by the way is the most trafficked room in your home - into a beautiful and functional Shabby Chic living space. The skills you will learn on this course are transferable throughout your home. But for this course we will focus on the livingroom. This course is predominately lecture based, although it does contain a number of practical activities and PDF downloads as I progress, to help you to immediately apply what you have learnt, as well as a to-do-list at the end.
I suggest that you watch the lecture video's numerous times. This will ensure that by the end of this course, you will be able to completely design your Shabby Chic livingroom from concept to completion.

IMPORTANT NOTES
Please be aware that this course, is not intended to provide all of the knowledge needed to become a professional interior designer. As in any professional field, there is a significant amount of education and/or experience that is needed to achieve competency in this field. My intention with this course is to provide some solid foundational knowledge to assist either those individuals interested in "DIY" or interior design to work on their own projects more effectively, or to provide supplemental education to both interior design students and professionals alike.
Who this course is for
This is best suited for individuals with limited knowledge, or those looking for a refresher course, or are a beginner to interior design.
This course is for anyone who wants to learn how to create/design a well-pulled together Shabby Chic livingroom (which can also be applied to a family room, dining room, and bedroom).
Who this course is for
The student who wishes to have greater clarity and direction on their interior design course.
The freelance interior designer/stylist who wishes to add the Shabby Chic Style to their business portfolio.
The DIY enthusiast who wants to inject a feeling of professional polish into their next project.
Property developers who wish to ensure that the properties they offer to their new residents are homes rather than just temporary accommodation.
