Color is one of the most influential elements of interior design—and if you’re asking us (which you’re not), it’s also one of the most fun to play with. Yes, even if you’re a minimalist. You can use color to help tell a story, evoke certain emotions, or simply bring life into a space. In this course, you’ll learn about the color wheel, color theory, color psychology, and how you can use color to your advantage in design.

understanding design styles

If we’re being real, we’re not big on labels. When it comes to design styles, we don’t often cite them because they make us feel pigeonholed. But understanding the theory behind common design styles is a powerful tool for your interior design education. This course will cover the most common design styles and teach you best practices on how to combine different styles. Just know, like with all things, you’re never just one. And as usual, you should always feel good about breaking the rules!

Styling Tips

Picture this: You’re scrolling through Instagram or flipping through your favorite design magazine and see an image that just makes you think, “Ugh… this is perfect.” The design exudes personality, and everything feels like it’s exactly where it should be. That’s the power of interior styling. Behind each of those photos was likely an interior stylist doing their thing. The good news is that you don’t have to be a professional interior stylist to work your magic. You can use your home base as your styling playground, and this course will show you exactly how.
