The Textiles and Fabrics in Interior Design course provides learners with a comprehensive exploration of one of the most critical elements in creating stunning and functional interiors: textiles. Designed for aspiring interior designers, decorators, and enthusiasts, this Level 3 course blends theory, application, and sustainability to help you master fabric selection and usage across residential and commercial spaces.

You’ll begin with an introduction to the historical and contemporary role of textiles in design, including a look at evolving trends in the UK. From there, you’ll gain hands-on knowledge about different types of fabrics—natural vs. synthetic, understanding fibres, weaves, and their properties—and how they influence texture, comfort, durability, and aesthetics.

In the following modules, the course dives into colour theory, pattern coordination, and their emotional and spatial effects within interior settings. Practical modules focus on specific applications, such as textiles for window treatments (curtains, blinds, and energy-efficient coverings), upholstery for furniture, and textiles for bedding, cushions, and accessories.

Sustainability plays a key role throughout the course. You’ll learn to identify eco-friendly fabrics, ethical sourcing practices, and how to make informed decisions that contribute to environmentally conscious design.

Finally, the course is brought to life with case studies, project-based learning, and insights from industry professionals. Whether you're planning a home makeover or designing interiors for clients, this course equips you with the textile knowledge and confidence to deliver beautiful, purposeful spaces.
