IMPORTANT NOTES:

  • If you are interested in taking most or all of my courses, I have a recommended order in which to watch them (although it's certainly not required).  I would start with "How to Design a Room in 10 Easy Steps" because most of my other courses are in-depth classes of the concepts touched on in this 10 step class.  Following the 10 Step Course, I suggest moving on to "How to Use Color Like a Pro", followed by "How to Work with Interior Design Styles Like a Pro", then "How to Use Lighting Design to Transform your Home", and finally "Design is in the Details". 

  • My other five courses, "How to Use Minimalist Interior Design to Live your Best Life",  "Use Eco-friendly, Sustainable Design to Improve Your Life", "How to Design Your Dream Kitchen", "How to Design Your Dream Bathroom", and "Everything Small Home Design" are all stand alone classes on specialty topics within interior design, and therefore, can be taken in any order.

  • Please be aware that this course, or any of my courses, is not intended to provide all of the knowledge needed to become a professional interior designer.  As with any professional field, there is a significant amount of education and/or experience that is needed to achieve competency in this field.  My intention with these courses is to provide some solid foundational knowledge to assist either those individuals interested in "DIY" interior design to work on their own projects more effectively, or to provide supplemental education to both interior design students and professionals.

Minimalist Interior Design course has been a pleasure to learn from. The concept of breathing room and making space has come into my life at the right time. When we throw out the junk and create empty space…well, we are bringing fresh air into our life. We are giving space to that part of ourself that has been wanting to shine for a long time.

I loved this course! It was filled with useful information like the Minimalist Interior Design Plan, and plenty of examples. I also found the de-cluttering guide very helpful to achieve a great result!

The course content is insufficient (too short) for my lay-man appreciation of this design concept. Requested for a refund, but refused by udemy due to (probably) to high-percentage viewership of the course content which is just like less than 2-hours.

Minimalist design doesn't come naturally to me. But I thoroughly enjoyed learning the principles of Minimalist Design. I hope to be a better designer for my clients who prefer this style.

Too much talk talk talk. More practical examples of how to do minimalist decor, how to buy and what decor to buy, where to buy from, would have been more interesting.

The general economic atmosphere encourages everyone to buy more watches and fancy clothes by convincing us that owning more will makes us happy. This Minimalism course has really highlights the beauty of shape and form, removing any excess detail from the space. It is a form of design — more than just a superficial style. Its goal is to communicate the essence or essentials, to let the user experience purity and elegance. Thank you ?

I expected more visual explanations. Not only talk and stock images from the internet. Suggestion - having image of same room with different elements in it. Also some simple drawing could be very handy, like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05fiNaWLnHo

It was a good match, there was a lot more information than found on youtube minimalist channels. I also like the additional resources at the end. I have taken a few of Erikka's courses and you can see the expertise and passion in her lectures.

This was an excellent course. The presenter provided clear advice and inspiration. My only concern was the use of the examples which were all very high end and not likely to be represent the majority of homes. I found some of the examples used a little intimidating given my home is small and simple. Regardless, a very good course which I enjoyed and will come back to again.
