Kitchen and Bath Interior Design

Courses 

Kitchen Interior Design

This course focuses on the intricate art of creating functional and aesthetically pleasing kitchen spaces. Over nine weeks, you learn about layout optimization, material selection, lighting strategies, and sustainable practices. The course equips you with the skills needed to effectively use design software tools and communicate a design vision to clients and fellow professionals. The class takes you through the process of designing a kitchen, from initial client consultation through the design development phase. You receive weekly assignments in which you develop a project, culminating in a final presentation of a comprehensive kitchen design to a hypothetical client.

By the end of the course, you will have developed a portfolio-ready bathroom project. The course focuses on residential spaces.
