IN 101 INTRODUCTION TO INTERIOR DESIGN

This course is designed to provide a comprehensive study of the methods used by the interior designer to create the harmonious integration of interiors and materials in both residential and commercial settings. The professional interior designer is trained to “provide the total creative solution for an interior” as contrasted with a decorator who “furnishes an already planned interior.” Topics will include materials for interiors, furniture styles and accessories, lighting, window treatments, and the development of a final residential or commercial project. Architectural drawing techniques and equipment will be used throughout the course. In addition to the cost for tuition and fees, all students are required to purchase an architectural drawing kit. Lecture: 3 hours per week. 3 Credits
