Interior Design and Styling

A summer course in Bournemouth, by Arts University Bournemouth

This highly practical and immersive course will introduce you to the conceptual approaches to structure, space, light, styling the form and function of interior spaces, and the use of materials and furniture within it.

Across two weeks you’ll explore new design and styling skills, learn new interior design processes, research your ideas and execute them through an overarching project to consolidate your skills. You’ll focus on the development of conceptual and practical skills in order to develop your knowledge and personal creativity.

Throughout this course, you’ll be introduced to essential interior design approaches and problem-solving techniques. You’ll analyse existing interiors, retail spaces, restaurants and public spaces in the local area and learn how to appreciate and assess these interior spaces. Working in groups, and individually, you’ll be assigned project briefs to stimulate your creativity through a series of immersive practical exercises and workshops. As you progress swiftly through the fundamental approaches of interior design and styling processes, you’ll be assigned your own major project to bring your flair, imagination, and design ideas to life and to complete for submission into your personal portfolio.
