Absolutely! You may know what you like and what looks good together, but a course in Interior Redesign will give you the right process and the basic design principles to follow in order to transform any type of room into the most beautiful space it can be.
Whether redesigning for yourself or others as a professional, SRG training gives you valuable skills and knowledge which will allow you to be the best at what you do.
Again, absolutely! Design and Redesign, although similar in their mission to make interiors beautiful and interesting, are still very different. Redesign teaches the “use-what-you-have” mentality and the proven process of Interior Redesign to produce the desired result.

It’s best to wear casual, comfortable clothes (no belts) as we will be in homes moving furniture. You must bring a clean pair of gym shoes to wear while in the client’s home. Any jewelry worn on your hands & wrists could become a safety issue as well as the potential to scratch furniture. We suggest you leave jewelry at home, earrings are okay.

Many thanks again for all of the great information and advice that you gave us. It is empowering to look at your home from the perspective of being a seller. Or, in my case, of preparing to be a seller just in case something in my life changes that forces me to become a seller. One thing I know now is that I am nowhere near ready to move.
Take care and enjoy the almost Spring weather.

Shock? I could not believe my living room/dining room could look so good. I now have more floor space and the rooms are balanced.

Creatively “out of the box” thinking. I was a little skeptical, but now I’m a believer.
