A Diploma in Interior Design is a short-term professional program designed to build foundational competence in planning and designing interior spaces. The curriculum typically covers design principles, colour theory, drafting, furniture and materials, lighting, and basics of building services relevant to interiors. Students are trained to translate client requirements into functional layouts, mood boards, and presentations, supported by technical drawings and basic software skills such as CAD. The course generally includes studio assignments, case studies, and a final project/portfolio that demonstrates concept development, space planning, and detailing. Graduates can pursue entry-level work with interior design studios, architectural firms, furniture and modular kitchen brands, real estate and fit-out contractors, or start small freelance projects. Since it is a 1-year diploma, it is best viewed as a foundation program; many learners use it to upskill quickly or to transition into advanced diplomas/degree programs in interior design and spatial design.
