Description

Have you ever wondered how much light a room really needs?

Have you struggled with determining the right size light fixtures for the various spaces in your home?

Have you ever wondered how interior designers make a room look so much more dramatic through the use of lighting?  

If you've ever asked yourself any of these questions, then I encourage you to check out this class!  "Lighting Design to Transform your home" is a course focused exclusively on residential lighting design.  More specifically, in this class we will cover the following main topics:

  • 3 great lighting tricks!

  • Why is lighting so important?

  • How to calculate the correct lumens for your rooms, including rooms with high ceilings or dark walls

  • How to effectively use and control both artificial and natural light in your home

  • How to use 3 layers of light to elevate your lighting design

  • How to choose the right type of light fixtures based on the function of your room

  • How to choose the right size light fixtures

  • How to install your light fixtures appropriately in your home

  • How to hide unsightly table and floor lamp cords

  • Use lighting to alter the intensity of colors in your room

There are also some fantastic, practical activities in this course: 

  1. By participating in activities throughout this course, I will walk you through how to build your own customized lighting design scheme for any room in your home.

  2. To complement the work you will be doing on your lighting scheme, I will also teach you how to create a simplified professional lighting plan. 

  3. At the end of this course, you will put your newfound knowledge to work when you are given a hands-on opportunity to improve the lighting in 2 case studies.

This is a great course for all levels of individuals who are interested in learning more about how to effectively build their own residential lighting plan.  This could also be a great class for interior design students or professionals who are new to the field.  

Join me for an adventure into the world of lighting design!

IMPORTANT NOTES:

  • If you are interested in taking most or all of my courses, I have a recommended order in which to watch them (although it's certainly not required).  I would start with "How to Design a Room in 10 Easy Steps" because most of my other courses are in-depth classes of the concepts touched on in this 10 step class.  Following the 10 Step Course, I suggest moving on to "How to Use Color Like a Pro", followed by "How to Work with Interior Design Styles Like a Pro", then "How to Use Lighting Design to Transform your Home", and finally "Design is in the Details".  My other courses, "How to Use Minimalist Interior Design to Live your Best Life", "Use Eco-friendly, Sustainable Design to Improve Your Life", and "How to Design Your Dream Kitchen" are all stand alone classes on specialty topics within interior design, and therefore, can be taken in any order.

  • Please be aware that this course, or any of my courses, is not intended to provide all of the knowledge needed to become a professional interior designer.  As with any professional field, there is a significant amount of education and/or experience that is needed to achieve competency in this field.  My intention with these courses is to provide some solid foundational knowledge to assist either those individuals interested in "DIY" interior design to work on their own projects more effectively, or to provide supplemental education to both interior design students and professionals.

Who this course is for:

  • This is a great course for anyone interested in taking their home's lighting design to the next level.
  • This course could also be a great supplemental educational course for interior design students or those new to the interior design field.

While Interior design is my main career and passion, I also absolutely love to teach others, so I am thrilled to have found Udemy so that I can share that passion and knowledge with others just like you.   

Are you a design enthusiast yourself?   

Do you wish you could design rooms in your own home that are both beautiful and functional?   

Do you wonder how interior designers make it look so effortless?   

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you are my ideal student!     

Through my classes, I will show you how many areas of interior design can be broken down into simple-to-use processes and formulas, so that you can be successful in creating beautiful and functional rooms all on your own using an easy, systematic approach.   

I’ve been designing and redesigning rooms for as long as I can remember – first for myself, then for friends and family, and finally decided to make it my full-time career.  Today, I own my own thriving interior design business.  I primarily work in residential design, but have recently expanded to commercial work as well.  I also graduated from the Interior Design program at the New York Institute of Art and Design.   

I hope you’ll join me in one or all of my classes, so you too can learn how to create your dream home!
