Lighting Fundamentals 101

No. You don’t need any experience at all. Our free courses are designed for complete beginners and guide you step-by-step through the fundamentals of interior design and decorating. They’re the perfect way to start learning with confidence.

The free courses teach you the fundamentals.
To start a real career as an interior decorator, we recommend continuing with our behind-the-scenes masterclass, where you’ll discover how a French designer manages a real project from start to finish.

After that, you can register for our exclusive Certified Career Program — available in January 2026 — where you’ll practice on a real interior design project and deepen your knowledge, skills, and professional competencies, all guided by the refined methods and elegance of the French Touch.

The masterclass shows you how to apply everything in a real project.
While the free lessons teach theory and basics, the masterclass shows you how a professional works step-by-step on an interior design project.

In the masterclass, you’ll follow a complete real-life interior design project from start to finish — just like a French professional. You’ll learn how to study the space, understand your client’s needs and desires, and create a clear decorative concept. Step by step, you’ll discover how to build a moodboard, choose furniture, select colors and materials, and style the space with decorative accessories. By the end, you’ll know how to bring a full project to life with the elegance and precision of the French Touch.

The French Touch Certified Interior Decorator Program gives you the professional skills and confidence to work as an interior decorator with a distinctive international edge. You’ll learn real, proven methods, practice on a complete interior design project, and receive expert guidance while building a strong and elegant portfolio. The program blends solid interior design knowledge with the refinement, balance, and attention to detail that define French interiors — a style admired and sought after around the world.
