Course overview
Introduction to Interior Design 2 is an evening class taught once a week at Edinburgh College’s Granton campus. The course is for both new students and those progressing from the previous September start course. The course is designed for individuals interested in interior design, those starting a new hobby, or those pursuing a new career. New students will need little to no prior experience in interior design, as this course will begin with the fundamentals. Progressing students will be given new Design challenges to develop their skills and portfolio further.
Interior design is the art of exploring and experimenting with a room or building’s creative potential. As an interior designer, you will design new and modern spaces or renovate old ones to improve functionality. During this course, you will develop your artistic abilities, gain a feel for how to design different spaces and learn a keen eye for light and colour. Classes will include teachings on the importance of structural changes, lighting, fixtures, fittings and furnishings to create the best design outcome.
This course serves as a stepping stone for further study in interior design or as an entry-level position in the industry. Work created on these courses can support a portfolio for future applications to specialist art and design courses, particularly for school leavers or those seeking a career change.
