Colour Therapeutics for Interiors

Colour Therapy for Interior Design

(Holistic Design Institute Advanced Diploma course)

12 Lessons

Colour theory usually makes up a small part of an Interior Design course. Colour therapeutics is based on a holistic approach to the use of colours in both the home and workplace, thus creating a more relaxing and harmonious interior environment. On completion of this course you will be able to work as a specialist colour consultant in the interior, design or fashion industries. This course is specially designed for students and designers who wish to have a deeper understanding of colour and to specialise in colour consultancy. As hospitals, psychiatric clinics, schools and remand centres, and other community buildings need to create healing and supportive environments, a knowledge of colour therapeutics is a great career asset. As well as psychologists and complementary practitioners who would like to use colour to create a healing environment, Colour Therapeutics would be of interest to anyone working in the fashion and creative fields as it tries to extend the awareness of the power of colour to influence our moods and health. This course encourages professionals to use colour responsibly.
