Online Interior Design and Decoration Courses, Internet Training in Architectural Software

Interior Design - What is it all about?

Interior decoration is about designing spaces to be both functional, i.e. to fulfill their tasks, and aesthetic. By utilizing knowledge in ergonomics, architecture, and even sociology, you can design interiors. In our courses, you will gain the knowledge and skills that will allow you to independently design spaces in your apartment. And if you are already working as a designer or architect, our online training will teach you how to create projects in BIM and CAD programs and produce photorealistic visualizations.

What is the best interior design software?

This is a very complex question. Depending on what you want to do, you will choose a different program. In an extensive article, we described which program to choose for interior design and visualization.

If you want to work on technical drawings and 2D or 3D projects, you may be interested in BIM or CAD-based programs. BIM, or Building Information Modeling, includes programs such as Archicad and Revit, where a three-dimensional model is created as you work on the plan. Another difference is that when you design in BIM programs, you use a ready-made model database - it can be compared to designing a house in The Sims. Meanwhile, in CAD family programs, e.g. AutoCAD, designing is similar to hand-drawing on paper.

For creating interior visualizations, you can choose from several programs. The free Blender + Cycles is one of the most popular solutions. 3ds Max + Corona Renderer has a high entry threshold but allows for almost unlimited model modifications. Meanwhile, SketchUp + V-ray is quite intuitive software, which also has its supporters.

As you can see, the choice of the best interior design program is often guided by the subjective feelings of the user. And on our platform, you will find courses for creating interior visualizations in all leading graphic programs. 

How long does it take to learn to design interiors?

To arrange interiors, you need to have knowledge in various fields. If you deal with arranging a bathroom or kitchen, you will need knowledge about water and sewage installations and ventilation. In addition, for all rooms, you will need information on designing energy installations, i.e. proper socket or lighting placement. You also need to enrich technical knowledge with aesthetic sensitivity and knowledge in ergonomics. Add to this soft skills, effective communication, conversation with clients, and understanding their needs. As you can see, interior design is not a one-dimensional activity but a combination of art and technique. You will not gain such broad knowledge in interior design courses in Poznań as in our online courses. In the interior design courses available on our platform, you will master both theory and practice. This combination will enable you to design ergonomic and beautiful interiors and present your ideas in the form of 2D projects, architectural plans, or visualizations.
