Saturday Workshop
Draycott Education Centre - 20th February 2010

Susan Llewellyn Associates' Saturday Workshop on 20th February was a resounding success. The day consisted of a discussion on the Psychology behind interior design and how a Design Scheme is conceived, after which delegates were guided through creating their own design scheme. Feedback from the day has been extremely positive.

A Day in the Life of an
Interior Design Practice

Our one-day workshop discussed how an interior designer works, looked at colours and future trends up to 2010, as well as learning the history behind interior design styles. Practical work included making a mood/sample board, and delegates received advice on putting together an impressive portfolio.

Colour Workshop

No 'hard rules' exist for choosing colours. But the more a colour professional knows about the affect of colour, the more accurately he or she will choose the combinations that best satisfy different surroundings and situations. This Colour Workshop provided an introduction to the fascinating world of interior colour applications.

3-Day Tour to Verona, Italy

Susan Llewellyn Associates, in association with the BIDA, provided a 3-day Interior Design Guided Tour of Verona, Italy. Verona has been named as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and offers a wealth of opportunities to stimulate and excite the creative mind.

Guests enjoyed guided tours to two Palladian Villas in Vicenza, Castle Vecchio in central Verona, as well as visiting the new and contemporary exhibition, Abitare Il Tempo.

Tour of Chiswick House, London

Chiswick House is situated in an historic and interesting area dating back to the Bronze Age. We took a group of Interior Designers and like-minded people on a walking tour of the area which focused on the 18th Century, building up a picture of the period, finally arriving at Chiswick House, the exquisite Palladian villa completed by Lord Burlington in 1729. This building has at last been recognised as a unique example of the style which set a future trend and fashion for classical design.

Lord Burlington and his protégée, William Kent, have given designers and scholars a wonderful source of inspiration, enabling students to look at the past, bring ideas into the present and project them to the future.
