The French Couture Approach
to Worldwide Interior Design
By bridging global industry standards with effortless French elegance, ALNA DESIGN® Academy — founded by a Parisian interior designer with 20 years of experience — provides aspiring and established designers with the specific skills most in demand by international clients.
At ALNA DESIGN®, we do not simply teach fundamentals. We’ll teach you how to create an elite signature through an immersive studying experience where rigorous professional standards meet the grace of French Art de Vivre.
Here, you are not just learning to design spaces—you are learning to craft extraordinary living experiences for your clients. We empower you with the global vision and technical mastery required to blend European heritage with the highest expectations of the international interior design market.
As a pioneering figure in interior design education, Myriam Markiewicz established a new national standard by creating France’s first State-certified interior decorating training (RNCP) in 2011; specifically engineered for career changers. She is also the author of a book dedicated to interior and garden aesthetics.
This prestigious background shapes the clarity and high professional standards of all ALNA DESIGN® courses and certifications, bringing a proven pedagogical heritage and elite French high-end standards directly to a global audience.
Critical Acclaim:
“A truly original work from an interior design specialist who masterfully explores the contemporary ‘Inside-Outside’ concept. This book fills a significant gap in design literature, introducing the sophisticated role of the ‘Exterior Decorator.’ What makes this work so compelling is its unusual depth—delving into environmental psychology, historical reinterpretation, and design trends from the 1960s to today. It is a rare resource specifically crafted for the professional designer, yet remains accessible to all.
The author and publisher have dared to create something provocative, forcing the reader to step off the beaten path. Here, greenery is no longer a mere accessory; objects take on a monumental dimension in exterior decoration. A bold, essential read that perfectly lives up to its title.”

The three pillars of our aesthetic philosophy
Mastering space is a science before it becomes an art. Under Myriam’s guidance, you will learn to decode foundational proportions and scale them to create interiors with immediate prestige and seamless functionality.
True luxury is felt before it is seen. You will train your eye to look beyond basic color wheels, mastering the invisible rules of material orchestration to craft deeply sensory, high-end environments.
The ultimate secret of French elegance is the « je-ne-sais-quoi »—the art of making perfection look accidental. You will master the technique of blending eras and contrasting heritage with modern design, creating spaces that feel timelessly lived-in rather than staged.
Why is the French methodology such a game-changer?
French interior design is the global gold standard for understated luxury, proportion, and effortless elegance. High-net-worth clients don’t want generic, cookie-cutter spaces. By mastering this specific approach, you instantly separate yourself from local competition, step out of price wars, and position your brand at the very top of the market.
Is ALNA DESIGN® built for new design studio founders or experienced designers?
Both. We work with ambitious career-switchers launching their very first practice, as well as established stylists looking to raise their rates and attract high-ticket clients.
What really matters isn’t how many years you’ve been in business—it’s your commitment to operating at a high-end standard from day one.
What actually makes ALNA DESIGN® different from other online design schools?
Most online programs focus on basic theory you could easily find on your own—generic concepts that rarely translate into real-world results.
ALNA DESIGN® gives you far more: direct exposure to real projects, the signature French aesthetic that affluent clients actively look for, and the exact business positioning required to command elite rates. We skip the fluff and teach you how to build a highly profitable, high-ticket studio.
Will I get access to future curriculum updates after I enroll?
Absolutely. The luxury design market evolves, and so do our frameworks. Once you enroll, you retain full access to your course materials, including any future module updates, new templates, and bonus resources; at no extra cost.
Because when a space is right, everything else flows more naturally
