If you've ever dreamed of creating a beautiful home, renovating with confidence, or exploring a future in Interior Design, you've probably discovered there are countless courses available.
So why do so many people choose Livin By Design?
The answer is simple.
We don't just teach Interior Design. We teach you how to confidently design your home, your way.
Designed for Real People, Not Just Future Designers
Many Interior Design courses are designed to prepare students for years of formal study or a career in the industry.
At Livin By Design, we understand that not everyone wants that.
Some people simply want to create a home they absolutely love.
Others are building a new home, renovating, decorating an investment property, or preparing their home for sale. Many students simply want to understand why some rooms feel inviting while others don't.
Our courses have been created specifically for homeowners, renovators, property stylists, creative people, and anyone who wants practical Interior Design knowledge they can apply immediately.
Whether you choose our one day Style Your Own Home course or our immersive three day Interior Design Masterclass, you'll walk away with skills you can use for the rest of your life.
Learn From a Qualified Interior Designer
One of the biggest differences with Livin By Design is that you'll learn directly from Tina Dick, a qualified Interior Designer with more than 13 years of industry experience.
Rather than learning from textbooks alone, you'll gain real world knowledge from someone who has worked with clients across renovations, new builds, colour consultations, home styling and complete Interior Design projects.
Every lesson is based on practical experience, not just theory.
Small, Personalised Learning
Unlike large classrooms where you're simply another student, Livin By Design focuses on personalised learning.
Questions are encouraged.
Your project matters.
Your home becomes part of the learning process.
This means the advice you receive is relevant to your own rooms, your own lifestyle and your own design challenges.
Many students tell us this personalised approach is what gave them the confidence they had been missing.
We Teach You How Interior Designers Think
Buying beautiful furniture doesn't automatically create a beautiful home.
The secret lies in understanding why professional Interior Designers make certain decisions.
Throughout your course you'll discover how to:
Find your own design style
Create cohesive colour palettes
Understand the principles and elements of design
Plan furniture layouts
Improve flow and functionality
Select lighting that enhances each space
Style with confidence
Create mood boards
Develop a clear project plan
Work within a realistic budget
These are the same thought processes professional Interior Designers use every day.
Once you understand them, designing your own home becomes far less overwhelming.
Practical, Not Overwhelming
One of the most common comments we hear from students is:
"I finally understand why I couldn't make my rooms work."
That's because we break complex design concepts into simple, easy to understand lessons.
You won't spend weeks learning unnecessary theory.
Instead, you'll leave with practical tools, checklists and techniques you can begin using straight away.
Flexible Learning That Fits Around Your Life
Life is busy.
That's exactly why Livin By Design was created.
Instead of asking you to commit to years of study, our short courses allow you to gain valuable Interior Design knowledge in just one or three days.
You can choose to learn in our Brisbane studio or enjoy a personalised in home learning experience where we work directly with your own spaces.
This makes learning more relevant, more enjoyable and far more valuable.
