The 'Recipe For A Room' Concept

CORE SELF-DIRECTED COURSES: With Recipe For A Room you choose how many courses you'd like, depending on your need for business and skills development. If you want to focus on just one area of tradecraft you may need just one course.  

If you want to tackle business and skills development on multiple fronts, you may need more - consider one of our live masterclasses: hone and improve your business with added feedback from peers.    

The average course - including working through the practical workshop element - takes a weekend, or a week of evenings to complete. Some are longer, others shorter, the course details guide you on duration.  

Individual courses, e.g. 'Light Your Home', start from first principles and are great too for home renovators.

LIVE MASTERCLASSES: Several times a year we run live masterclasses for practising design professionals, these focus on pushing your business to the next level by actively improving across multiple fronts. Get in touch if you're interested in joining us.

If the course you need isn't here yet, keep checking (and...let me know what you need!). Through 2024 we'll be adding new titles every few months.

I loved this class! Thank you so much, Julia. I'm just redesigning my study so that it's more of a creative playroom as well as home office and I'm feeling totally inspired. I live in Spain so in the summer the room is really hot but in the winter it's pretty chilly so I'm thinking I can bring in accessories with a more cool feel/colour in the summer and warmer tones in the winter. I'm still playing with what image I want to choose for my project word. In fact I'm still playing with what word to select, either 'inspiration' or 'creativity'. Thanks again!

Thank you Julia for a great course. I'm an architect wanting to work with interiors and this was the perfect refresher of some basic concepts I learned in university, plus new, valuable information. Now I can't stop thinking of all the ways I can light my own home.

I did the whole thing in one sitting. It was so interesting, inspirational and helpful. And the instructor was brilliant. I’m not that arty, I’m more a person that needs a formula to work to … a recipe! This was just perfect for me. I wish I’d known all this when we built our extension 11 or so years ago. It’s got me all fired up and ready to have another go at our living area.
