    There are many online courses that you can take to learn about interior design.
    But the key is not just having a book in front of you, it's finding someone who really knows what they're doing so that you can make it matter. Some things just cannot be learned from any book; for those kinds of knowledge, apprenticeship continues to be one of the most important ways we learn. It would be good then to try and find someone who knows what they're doing and get to work; being at school will help, but being able to put theory into practice with a mentor will go the furthest. No amount of information ever replaces wisdom gained through experience.

    You simply need to use online interior design tutorials, and put in the time.
    There are many websites that provide simple input for size of space, preferences, etc., so after a little practice you should be able to do your own home! Though beware of scammers out there - always make sure you review the fine print before committing to any contract. And remember that these tools are just guidelines and they won't create an interior design masterpiece for you without some effort on your part as well!

    The first thing to do is to realize that there are many different routes to take. You can learn how to be an interior designer on your own, work in a field related industry for years and then eventually transition into the world of design, or you can enroll at a school and get an education in the subject. There are cons associated with each option, but for now let's focus on programs available right now.

    Yes, absolutely. If you're looking for recommended classes, The Ask an Interior Designer blog has a weekly series of lessons on various topics. You can also purchase online courses from General Assembly and find online classes at Udemy and Skillshare.
    When trying to learn practical skills like interior design on your own, it's important to get a feel for the underlying principles in order to learn how to apply those principles. Once you have some experience with design through reading or working with a designer when shopping for furniture or picking colors off the website of paint company, then kudos if you are ready to take on the task of designing your first room (or first few rooms) yourself.

    The best way to learn about designing interior spaces online is through blogs. Bloggers who focus on design will often write posts, offer resources, and include slide shows. There are plenty of blogs with an emphasis on interiors like Domino Magazine and HGTV Dream Home 2012. Start by reading an article or two before searching for more specific topics you're curious about.

    Thankfully, there is a vast amount of information available on the internet.
    But, it's worth noting that most design courses do not offer any "interior design online" courses/courses which can be taken exclusively online—or at least not in America or Canada. Many schools offer a field experience whereby one can work with an interior designer for about four hours per week and take distance learning classes for about two hours per week (in other words, 10-13 hours of total coursework).
