What Do You Think?
Do you need to feel good in you own skin before we can feel good at home – or do you need to feel good at home first in order to feel good in yourself?
Here’s what I believe — though of course, it’s just my opinion: If you don’t feel good in your home, it will be hard to feel good in your daily life.
But if you’re no feeling good in your own skill, a space that truely reflects your needs and tastes will support you much more than one that doesn’t.
“I founded Alna Design to help you create interiors that transcend fleeting trends – spaces that feel timeless, inviting, and perfectly in tune with your daily needs“
— Myriam
From Passion to Expertise
Whether you’re here to explore your creativity for a personal project, learn new skills in Interior Design, or start a new career in Interior Decorating, Alna Design gives you the tools, guidance, and structure to:
Build Your Own
Signature Style
Create Unique & Elegant Interiors
Master the Fundamentals of Interior Design
Design Your Projects with Confidence
A Path for Every Learner
To make interior design education both accessible and elevated, I have created two unique learning formats
— each designed to meet you where you are, and help you grow with clarity and confidence:
With Alna Design you don’t just decorate spaces.
You create the spirit of places!
Build Interior Design Concept Statments
Every project begins with studying the place, understanding need and identifying preferences. Learn how to conduct this phase to create concepts and moodboards that will guide you throughout your projects .
Learn to Create Floor Plans & Layouts
Creating floor plans and designing room layouts are the second stage of a project. This is where you must develop functional interiors. This means designing spaces that are both ergonomic and aligned with each inhabitant’s needs.
Infuse Spaces with Your Signature Style
Master both the fundamentals of interior decorating and the codes of French design — light, balance, materials, colors, elegance and emotion. Create interiors with timeless character and a refined personal touch.
Expand Your Expertise in Product Sourcing
It’s impossible to decorate an interior if you don’t know where to find what you need, especially pieces that stand out from what’s commonly available everywhere. So I’ll regularly share my favorite brands or pieces with you.

Absolutely!
All my courses and Masterclasses are designed with beginners in mind, making interior design accessible to everyone regardless of experience.
The free courses provide fundamental knowledge and terminology that build a strong foundation. They're specifically structured to be beginner-friendly with visual examples and clear explanations of design concepts.
My Masterclasses then take you deeper, providing step-by-step guidance through real projects where you can see how principles apply in actual spaces. The community access also means you'll have support from both me and fellow students as you learn.
Many of my students started with zero design background - some were career-changers, others homeowners wanting to improve their spaces. What matters most is your enthusiasm and willingness to learn, not your previous experience.
