“Thanks Sophie for putting this all together!! I’m grateful that there was no rush.. just completed all the content and looking forward to sharing with you what I can produce from it.. very soon!! And I love that this course is all mine to keep with no expiry date.

Ready to take risks?

Would you love to make bolder colour choices in your home but don't have the knowledge or the courage to get really stuck in? Feelings of fear of about getting it wrong is totally normal, because styling a maximalist interior isn't straight forward. By understanding the design principles, interior hacks and colour know-how I use to create my own signature schemes, however, you too can go on to create bolder, braver and more beautiful schemes in your own home. And enjoy the creative process!

I really enjoyed taking this course. It's given me lots of ideas and the confidence to be braver in my interior choices. I particularly enjoyed the home visits and hearing how others just went for it with their own homes.

★★★★★

The best course for colour lovers & interior addicts.

Judith Hawkins

Such a fun course to do! I could do it at my leisure and connect with other members on the FB course's secret page so you had support from them (& sometimes Sophie herself) to keep you engaged. It was fun, not dry at all and I've learnt a huge amount even though I thought I had a good grip on my own designs. Would highly recommend (and indeed I already have)!

★★★★★

FAQ

While I love your style it's a bit full on for me! Will I still get value from the course if I don't want to copy your look?

I'm thrilled that my decorating style inspires you, thank you! But one thing I'm really against is copy cat interiors. I will be sharing my design philosophy and using my house as an illustration but the thrust is very much about you discovering, and owning, your own sense of style- then learning the tools to make it all really work. I'm not going to lie though, if you love the all neutral look, this really isn't for you!

Is this course for professionals or complete newbies?

This course has been written to appeal to everyone, from people with little experience of design all the way through to practicing professionals. (We can offer businesses VAT receipts) .And if you are a student of interior design this will give you an insight into how I design unique interiors, to give you the edge! However the course is not certified and no professional certification is offered after completion. The intention of the course is to educate you to design and decorate your own home, using my tried and tested methodology, that I didn't learn at design school!

I don't own my own home/ have an interior design project on the go at the moment- will the course still be relevant?

Absolutely! The beauty of this course is all the course work is done online and assignments happen in your sketchbook. You can also begin to implement what you learn in your rented pad or present home, without spending much money. It's all about self discovery and learning to see your home with fresh eyes.

If I sign up and decide the course is not for me can I get my money back?

I really want you to be happy with this course, and I've no doubt you will be! However we offer a 7 day money back guarantee from date of purchase/ course launch date.

What do I need to complete the course?

While this is mostly an online experience, you will need a sketch book and ideally a colour printer to carry out the mood board assignments. In terms of technology, all you need is a phone or camera to take pictures and a device to use Pinterest and Instagram (like your computer, tablet or smart phone). Thinkific is constantly updating in order to improve the platform so in addition to having the latest web browser, there are a few other requirements that will help ensure you experience Thinkific smoothly. Make sure your desktop/device has the the following; Javascript enabled, PDF plugin, Graphic and audio output capability, Broadband internet connection with ideally a minimum speed of 5Mbps and TLS 1.2 supported by your web browser.

Can I share my log in so my friend can enjoy the course?

Thank you for asking, but please, the answer is no! When you enroll you get access for one user. I’d be absolutely thrilled if you wanted to recommend the course to your friends, but they would need to pay for their own enrolment. The way I make this course so affordable for everyone is by having multiple signups, so please respect that, and while we are here I'd really appreciate that you don't publicly share or publish any of the content. That would be an infringement of copyright. However sharing what you have accomplished and learnt during the course is actively encouraged! I can't wait to see those room reveals!

Will you be on hand to answer my questions?

This is a self led course which has the benefit that you can complete it in your own time and repeat the classes as often as you wish. I've worked hard to make sure the course is as comprehensive as possible so you shouldn't get stuck. I'm not available for any one to one consultations and can't answer your individual questions via email. However enrollment does include membership to my private Facebook group where I do regular Q&A lives and am on hand to answer any questions you have if you post them on the group page. But the best part is being part of my colour loving community and all the additional support that offers. That said, we are always on hand to help you out with any technical questions regarding the online course experience.

Can I enroll if I live outside the UK? Also can you quote me a price in my national currency?

Yes you can enroll wherever you live in the world and I have many international students who enjoy the content. If you want to know how much the course will cost in your own national currency please use something like google currency converter to work out the conversion from Pounds sterling. We use Stripe to process your payment and it converts the currency at point of check out, at no extra charge, so you will only be charged the cost of the course.

I notice you do other courses. Can I just take this one, or do I need to have completed the others first? Or if I have completed one of the previous courses, will this new course just be the same content repackaged. Which order should I take them in?

I make sure that all my courses offer a unique offering and so they are all different and stand alone in their own right. You can take just one and you will get a full learning experience, without taking the others. However the reason there is more than one course is because Interior design is a huge topic. Each courses focus is different and they compliment each other without overlapping. This way I keep the courses easy and fun to follow, while still being able to go into quite a lot of depth inside each curriculum. It's a matter of reading over the course description and deciding which one is most apt for you at this time, and of course I'd love it if you wanted to complete all of them over time for a fully rounded knowledge of design and decorating. You can take them in any order, again depending on your specific needs.
