College Diploma - Interior Decorating (1207)

Conestoga College’s Interior Decorating program offers students a dynamic environment to build the creative and technical skills needed to excel in the diverse field of Interior Decorating. Learning from industry experts, students will develop essential and practical skills through studio, lab and lecture experiences, in addition to field trips and guest speakers. They will take courses on colour, textiles, finishes and fixtures which are enhanced with access to Conestoga College's large sample library. With the benefit of current, industry-standard software, students will focus on space planning, drafting and visual 2D and 3D presentations that bring their design concepts to life. Multiple courses on business practices and entrepreneurship will further prepare them for success in the industry. A field placement opportunity in their last semester will allow them to gain hands-on career experience before graduating. Many students have secured full-time employment as a result of their placement with employers such as decorating/design firms, product showrooms, design magazines and home staging companies.
