The Interior Design Institute Reviews 

Even though I always had a passion and natural instinct for interior this course helped me learn the finery details of a design project and what it entails to complete it successfully. I feel more confident knowing that when I have my diploma I can proceed in designing beautiful projects and build on my experience as a designer. I would love to continue to learn from an online platform with mentors, to be able to ask advice and continue the learning process in the field of Interior Design.

I would highly recommend the Diploma of Interior Design with IDI! I have loved this course, the content was informative, presented well and genuinely educational. Each module flows onto the next, and has relevance to previous content learnt so everything feels engaging. My tutor, Linda, is great! She is helpful, supportive and provides great feedback.

I'm having a blast doing the IDI course! I'm halfway through it and the modules are exactly what I was looking for. The readings are interesting and the final activities are great to apply the knowledge I learned in each module. I'm excited for what's ahead!

As a student at The Interior Design Institute (IDI), I’ve had a productive journey. I wanted to share a balanced look at the program for those considering enrolling.

✅ The Pros:
Learn at your own pace: This is a huge advantage. The flexibility allowed me to fit my studies around my life without any pressure. There are also ways of prolonging the time frame if needed.

Comprehensive Overview: The course provides a very good general overview of the interior design world and its core principles.

Responsive Support: I was impressed by the fast response times from both the staff and my tutor. You never feel ignored when you have a question.

❌ The Cons:
Text-Heavy Format: Almost all core materials are written. It was disappointing that videos on specific topics require an additional fee; I would have preferred more video-based teaching in the main curriculum.

Lack of Direct Interaction: You never actually get to talk to your tutor. All communication is written, and I believe a few live conversations would have added immense value.

Independent Research & Practicality: There is still a lot you have to research and learn on your own. While assignment feedback is valuable, I don't feel it fully prepares you for the complexities of real-life client situations.

Final Thoughts:
Overall, I am truly grateful for everything I’ve learned through the readings and assignments. While I don’t yet feel 100% "industry-ready" to jump into the field, IDI has given me a solid foundation and a passion for design that I didn't have before. I’m thankful for the experience and the knowledge gained.

An excellent course that covers all the essential interior design basics in a clear and engaging way. The tutor’s feedback is detailed, constructive, and genuinely helps you improve with every assignment. I’m so glad I took this course. It’s been both inspiring and practical!

The Interior Design Institute has been an incredible experience. As someone who wanted a flexible yet comprehensive way to study interior design, this program exceeded my expectations. The course material is well organized, easy to follow, and covers everything from design principles and space planning to materials, color theory, and professional practice.

One of the things I appreciate most is the self-paced structure, which allowed me to complete assignments while balancing other responsibilities. The assignments are practical and thoughtfully designed, helping you apply what you learn in real-world scenarios rather than just reading theory.

The tutors are knowledgeable and provide helpful, constructive feedback that truly supports your growth as a designer. I’ve especially enjoyed creating mood boards, floor plans, and material boards that feel like real design work.

Overall, this program has given me both confidence and practical skills in interior design. I would highly recommend the Interior Design Institute to anyone looking to start a career in design or deepen their understanding of the field.

I’ve found the lessons to be very helpful in building my understanding of interior design and developing real skills I can apply.

I’ve had a great experience studying with The Interior Design Institute. The course is well structured, easy to follow, and flexible enough to fit around a full-time job. The modules are informative and practical, and the assignments really help you apply what you’ve learned in real design scenarios. The tutor feedback has also been helpful and encouraging.

I have enjoyed the program. It is comprehensive and prepares for a job in the design world. Aspects of the course need extra time to master especially for a student that is older and went through college without the use of on-line courses or computers for that matter.

I am half way through the course, it’s very easy to follow, assignments are challenging, but great for learning. Tutors are great, would recommend. Can’t wait to finish!

Overall, I found the course to be a very good introduction to interior design. With each module, I learned more about the language and terminology of interior design, as well as important concepts such as perspective, structure, and professional discipline. One of the aspects I appreciated most was how the course introduces a professional way of thinking and working, which I think is very valuable for beginners.

At the same time, since this is an introductory course, some of the visual examples and explanations felt quite basic to me. While this may be appropriate for beginners, there were moments when I wished the material went a bit deeper or presented more challenging visual references. Because of this, I often tried to challenge myself further in each module by exploring ideas in more depth and pushing my own work creatively.

In addition, I felt that some of the interior design style categories presented in the course are not always very current today, as contemporary design often mixes references from different periods and styles in more fluid ways.

Overall, I appreciated the course and the foundational knowledge it provides. It helped me understand the discipline of interior design and build a structured way of thinking about projects. In the future, I would be very interested in seeing more advanced courses that encourage deeper exploration, introduce more contemporary references, and challenge students creatively at a higher level

After a warm welcome, I found it simple to navigate the website and student area. The modules are well laid out, thought through and include everything needed to guide and help you on your way to becoming a fully fledged interior designer!
You can do things at your own pace and there is no pressure of deadlines as such.

Your tutor is only a message away, should you need support, advice or to just check in.

All in all, I’d recommend this course.

Fun course and very interesting

I would highly recommend this course as it is extremely informative and really provides great detail into the interior design world. Each module provides illuminating details addressing each subject in depth. I find the material to be at a level suitable for a novice while still providing educational concepts to broaden ones ambitions in the design space.

Tutors are helpful and the course information is very informative and detailed

A wonderful course for understanding the foundations of interior design. I have thoroughly enjoyed it so far.
