Testimonials

The interior design workshop was insightful and fun

“The interior design workshop by Barbara Symth was insightful and fun as well. I did not have any background in interior design and was amazed by all the new things I learned in this workshop. From learning to create floor plan to creating matching panels allowed me to bring in new aura to my home. It’s a fun interactive course that I would recommend for anyone who wants to delve into interior design and make their house a home.”

A personalized interior design course for my grade 11 daughter

“Barbara recently delivered a personalized interior design course for my grade 11 daughter and her friend. From start to finish, her expertise and passion for the subject were evident. She delivered an informative and engaging overview of interior design, breaking down complex concepts into easy-to-understand lessons that captivated the students.

Her approach was incredibly supportive, ensuring each student felt encouraged to explore their creativity. The interactive elements of the course kept the girls fully engaged, and they loved the opportunity to use Barbara’s samples to design their own décor, as well as the planning documents that allowed them to redesign their bedrooms.

Barbara’s ability to connect with the students on a personal level made the experience even more special. She not only shared her vast knowledge but also inspired the girls to consider potential careers in interior design. We are immensely grateful for her contribution and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an engaging and educational experience in interior design.”
