Kitchen and Bathroom Planning and Design Short Course

Course description

Kitchens and Bathrooms are the most complex and expensive part of any interior space and are considered a specialised arm of the industry. They both involve regulations, detained planning, installing services, controlling budgets and producing stunning additions to the interior. This course will help you to understand all of these elements and allow you to make informed design decisions within these spaces.

You will learn how to write a detailed client brief and translate this into a functional and visual space. You will be guided through via inspiring and informative lectures, demonstrations and tutorials and develop the knowledge and tools to communicate your ideas.

This is a perfect platform for which to launch your specialisation in this field or to help you design your own interior spaces with confidence.
