Materials are the true foundation of every interior. They define not only how a space looks, but how it feels, works, and lasts over time. A perfect layout or expensive furniture will never save a project if the materials are chosen poorly. That is why understanding materials is the secret every successful designer relies on.

In this course, I will guide you step by step into the world of materials in interior design. You will learn how to choose them consciously, how to combine them beautifully, and how to avoid the costly mistakes that most people make. We will explore wood, stone, glass, metal, textiles, paints, and even innovative coatings — and I will show you exactly where each one works best.

The course includes six complete lessons:

• Why design starts with materials and how they create atmosphere.

• The Material Code: wood, stone, glass, fabrics, and more.

• Room by room: which materials to use in kitchens, bathrooms, living areas, and basements.

• Impressive material combinations that create a “wow” effect.

• The most common mistakes when choosing materials — and how to avoid them.

• Where you can save money and where you absolutely cannot.

All lessons are based on my 20+ years of real design experience. I explain everything in simple language, with clear examples from actual projects published in magazines like Architectural Digest and Forbes. You will learn not only theory, but also practical tricks that will make you confident in showrooms, on construction sites, and in conversations with clients.

This course is perfect for beginners, for anyone who wants to renovate their home on their own, and for those who simply want to understand materials better. It is also perfect for professional interior designers who want to master materials at a deeper level and use them with confidence in any project.
