My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Interior Design course for DIYers

6 years ago

I’d like to find an online course or really comprehensive book to learn about ID basics (color theory, lighting design etc). Nothing crazy extensive just enough to be able to kick it up a notch in my own home. Does anyone have any recommendations?
