Nikki Hemstock
Born in South Devon, I have a degree in Interior Architecture and thirty years of design experience across commercial, leisure and residential interiors. Having carried out projects for many clients across the UK, Channel Islands and France, I am passionate about passing on my design knowledge through my interior design and décor workshops. My greatest thrill is seeing participants learn new skills and become inspired and confident in making their own interior design and décor choices and decisions. I’m very excited to be delivering the interiors workshop at Tig’s Barn and I look forward to meeting you and to us creating something fabulous together. Our Interior Design workshop is aimed at those with an interest or passion for interior design and caters for beginners and those wishing to further basic skills. Learn how to create an interior mood board for a chosen room in your home using inspirational tricks and tips of the trade. We learn best by doing and by having fun, and these are the essential ingredients at the core of this course. Whether you’re about to embark on a design project of your own, want to get to grips with your Interior decor style or perhaps just want to become more confident with your creative decisions, then this workshop is for you. The course works best if you have a specific room at home that you want to restyle, however this isn't essential. During the workshop you will learn the key elements that make up home décor, starting with how to write a styling brief, understanding why designers refer to keywords, and discovering your preferred interior design style. You will also explore how to choose a colour palette, good spatial planning, focal points and mixing styles. During the course you will make your own interior design mood board (tailored to your specific style) for use at home. The workshop provides an opportunity to meet like-minded people, be inspired by Tig's Barn's beautiful surroundings and pick up tricks of the trade to inspire you to go on to create the home of your dreams. Be prepared to get stuck in and roll up your sleeves in what promises to be a fun, full-on, interactive design experience.
