Dreamt of being an interior designer? This is your chance to win an interior __design course at KLC
Having a good eye for colour or being able to arrange cushions 'just so' are admirable skills for anyone to possess. But interior __design they are not. Today's interior designers - at least the ones whose services you might want to use - are well trained in the arts of technical drawings and three-dimensional modelling, not to mention the skills required to manage a design project.
What's The Idea?
House & Garden has teamed up with KLC, one of Britain's leading interior-design schools, to run a competition to win a free place on its Professional Certificate in Interior design course, starting this September. It normally costs £8,995, and the winner can choose whether to study full-time or part-time.
Who should enter?
'This is a course for people who are serious about pursuing a career in interior design,' says Hatta Byng, editor of House & Garden. KLC's alumni have gone on to work for some of the studios in House & Garden's 100 Leading Interior Designers list, including Carden Cunietti and Suzy Hoodless. Others have set up successful interior-design businesses on their own. 'We are delighted to be working with House & Garden to identify someone with real potential to succeed as an interior designer,' says Jenny Gibbs, KLC's founder and principal.
How does it work?
Those entering the competition will be asked to create a mood board and provide design sketches for an interior-design project specified on the application form. 'We shall be looking for a truly creative approach, evidence of spatial awareness and an ability to problem solve and to think outside the box,' Jenny says. Joining Jenny and Hatta on the judging panel will be Liz Holohan, KLC Professional Certificate course leader. The deadline for applicants is June 16 and judging takes place at the end of June. Shortlisted entrants will be invited to House & Garden to meet the editorial team in July and will have the opportunity to present their ideas to the panel.
