Program Structure

We teach the “Form Follows Function” philosophy. A pretty room that doesn’t flow is a failure. Our architecture starts with the boring stuff—measurements, building codes, and ergonomics—before we ever touch a paint swatch.

This is a “hybrid” curriculum. You will spend 50% of your time on digital rendering software and 50% on tactile materials (understanding fabrics, wood grains, and stone).

  • Vendor “Black Book”: Exclusive access to trade-only suppliers (not just IKEA).
  • 3D Rendering Skills: Learn SketchUp and V-Ray to present photorealistic client pitches.
  • Site Visits: Virtual tours of construction sites to understand electrical and plumbing constraints.
  • Budgeting Spreadsheets: Professional Excel templates for estimating project costs.
  • Client Contracts: Legal templates to protect yourself from “scope creep.”

Curriculum: The Course Modules

Module 1: Design Fundamentals

Color Theory

The physics of aesthetics. Master the 60-30-10 rule, color psychology (warm vs. cool tones), and how to mix patterns and textures without creating visual chaos.

Module 2: Technical Drafting (CAD)

Floor Plans

You can’t design if you can’t measure. Learn to draw accurate 2D floor plans and elevations to scale, ensuring furniture actually fits through the door.

Module 3: Lighting & Acoustics

Mood Control

Lighting makes or breaks a room. We cover Ambient, Task, and Accent lighting, plus acoustic treatments to dampen noise in open-concept homes.

Module 4: The Business of Design

Client Management

How to charge for your services (Hourly vs. Flat Fee). We cover project management, sourcing logistics, and how to present a “Mood Board” that sells.

Real Estate Agents & Stagers

Agents who want to increase property value. Learn the art of "Staging" to make a home sell faster and for a higher price by optimizing layout and flow.

Creative Career Switchers

Individuals stuck in corporate jobs who have a "good eye" but lack technical skills. If you are constantly redecorating your friends' homes for free, it's time to get paid.

DIY Enthusiasts & Flippers

Homeowners or house flippers planning a major renovation. Avoid expensive mistakes (like knocking down a load-bearing wall) by learning the rules of structure first.

Academy Advantage

Material Sample Library

We ship a physical “Swatch Kit” to your door (US Only), containing samples of velvet, linen, marble, and hardwood so you can learn to feel quality differences.

VR Walkthroughs

Future-proof your skills. We introduce you to Virtual Reality tools that allow clients to “walk” inside your design before a single brick is laid.

Portfolio Review

You graduate with a PDF portfolio containing 3 complete projects (a Living Room, a Kitchen, and a Commercial Office) ready to send to design firms.

Certified Interior Space Planner (CISP)

Upon submission of your final Capstone Project (A Full Home Renovation Plan), you will be awarded the CISP Credential.

This certification verifies that you are not just a “decorator,” but a technical designer capable of producing industry-standard blueprints, lighting schedules, and budget projections.
