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.”
— Patrick Mioulane, Design & Horticulture Journalist, NewsjardinTV (Original review published in French)
Mastering space is a science before it becomes an art. Under Myriam’s guidance, you will learn to decode foundational rules, scaling them to contemporary proportions that give an interior its immediate feeling of prestige and seamless functionality.
True luxury is felt before it is seen. You will train your eye to look beyond basic color wheels and generic catalogs, mastering the invisible rules of material and palette orchestration. You will learn to layer textures and sophisticated tones to craft deeply sensory, high-end environments that evoke immediate emotion.
The ultimate secret of French elegance is the « je-ne-sais-quoi » (the art of making perfection look accidental). You will master the sophisticated technique of blending eras, contrasting antique heritage with modern aesthetics, ensuring your designs never look staged, but timelessly lived-in.
