What our students say:

The Residential Decorating Consultant course was absolutely EXCELLENT!. I have taken a number of Christine’s staging-related courses, but always wanted to learn the decorating side of the equation and this course did not disappoint! The four weekly sessions were packed full of information covering all aspects of residential decorating. This is not just a theoretical course but one which provides numerous real world examples about what to do, and what not to do, and a course which demonstrates the significant impact professional decorating can make.

It was highly valuable to take the course live (online) to benefit from the opportunity to ask Christine questions. I also really appreciated the recordings (to solidify the learning) and the homework! Each week we received assignments based on real world challenges with rooms which we virtually decorated. This is an excellent opportunity to build your skills while having the ear of a practiced expert to provide valuable feedback. With the combination of live sessions, recordings, and homework, I finished the course feeling much more confident about my ability to offer residential decorating as a service. I highly recommend this course if you want to round out your skills and create a new service to offer increased value to your clients.
