Professional Designer teaches how to use colour for Interior Decorating. Create a mood with tones, tints, and shades. Quality of Course Inc. can help you open your own business an Interior Decorator, Home Stager, or Re-designer. Actually Rona Dream Home we had a few viewers who we’re fussy about it, in the basement we wanted to, the clients basically wanted to throw everything down in the basement. So I said OK we have to come up with something a little more interesting than throwing everything down in the basement. So I came up with a 50s idea, with a drive in movie, and a soda fountain, and the booth. So when it came to colours, with the 50s style they were a little more brave with color. You know you had your greens and their blue together. In this case their sofa was red and I wanted to go with something a little more interesting on the walls and I went with a complementary colour scheme, blue on the main walls, and orange on the key focal wall. And that is a contrast, but at the same time it works beautifully together. Alex- Are there generally accepted colour schemes that you just wouldn’t use, they really do not work. Darlene- When it comes to colour schemes colours that work with each other, you can find a tint or a tone of a colour that will work in its muted form or its saturated form that will work nicely together, it’s just a matter of playing with the colours. Alex- I know that the whole field of the psychology of colour is recognized as a separate area of …

Interior design correspondence course with Quality of Course teaches you how to plan a room from start to finish. Our distance learning courses provide you with all the tools you need to open your own business as a professional interior decorator, re-designer, home stager, professional organizer, or feng shui designer. The basics of floor planning: access to the room, traffic patterns, and focal points.Furniture Layout. Before making your presentation to your clients, you should create a finished floor plan drawn to scale. This will help in the design process; this floor plan will be the basis of your furniture layout and your formal presentation to your clients. When looking at a room the four basic questions to ask are: What are the balance lines of the room? What are the traffic patterns of the room? What’s the focus of the room? And how can I establish the access for the room? Every room should have a focal point, in the case with this living room that I’m working on there’s a definite focal point, there’s a fireplace. So there’s no question with that. If you don’t have a focal point in a room it’s always best to create one using a key piece of furniture or a beautiful piece of artwork. Even a beautiful scene out of a window was being a good focal point where you might create a beautiful drapery as a frame to the beautiful view. In that case this is going to determine how you are going to lay out your furniture. I have a drawing here that will show you how to look at …
