HOLISTIC INTERIOR DESIGN
16 Lessons

Holistic Interior Design teaches you how to create harmonious homes and work spaces that are eco-friendly but also beautiful and nurturing to the people who use them.

This is a totally different approach to Interior Design that is in keeping with modern trends and future needs in environmental design. Most Interior Design training concentrates on creating aesthetically pleasing spaces while Holistic Interior Design emphasises the importance of creating interiors that are in harmony with the individuals who will be using them. The role of our environment in our physical and mental well-being has for too long been ignored so you will learn how to redress the balance and create healthy and uplifting interiors using colour therapeutics, natural elements and environmentally friendly paints and materials.

Practising designers will find this course allows them to use their talents in a new way and to offer their clients a more personalised service. No previous Interior Design training is needed although this course compliments and extends traditional Interior design study.

Another Student in 2009 writes

I am very much enjoying the Holistic Interior Design coursework. I decided to pursue a formal education in this field since I am an interior designer with a bachelors degree in interior design and specialize in holistic methods and strategies. The information has been thorough and thought-provoking and a great compliment to the knowledge I have already obtained in holistic lifestyles.
