Description
Have you ever wondered what makes a room look so much more polished and pulled together than other rooms?
Have you struggled to find the right paint color that coordinates with the different wood finishes in your home?
Have you ever wondered how interior designers make coffee tables, console tables, fireplace mantels, and bookcases look so beautifully decorated?
If you've ever asked yourself any of these questions, then this is the class for you! "Design is in the Details" is a class devoted to the main details that make up beautiful room design, including accessorizing, mixing wood and metal finishes, and moldings.
Please be aware that this course only covers the topics of accessorizing, mixing wood and metal finishes, and different types of room molding. It does not provide information on how to pull together a room (e.g., furniture layouts, rug sizes, etc.). That information can be found in my course "How to Design a Room in 10 Easy Steps"

Throughout the class, you will also be provided with practical exercises to help you immediately apply what you've learned in each section.
