Unleash your creative streak and pursue your passion for creating great living spaces with Humber’s Interior Decorating Co-op diploma program.

Interior decorators use specialized knowledge and techniques along with their imaginations to create stylish and sensible spaces for residences and workplaces. With classes on colour, furnishings, lighting and texture among others, you will learn to bring together all the elements of a room to create a harmonious and inviting look and feel. Enjoy building your reputation as an innovator and an artisan who can enhance and beautify working and living spaces in any built environment.

Students who enrol in September will complete a three-month co-op work term following semester two (240 hours). Students who enrol in January will complete some of the co-op work term during the summer break and have the option of completing the 240 hours in tandem with classes. Regardless of when and how students choose to work on their co-op experience, they must complete a career management workshop. Students arrange their own placement; the school provides a range of support services, including working with business, industry and government to identify co-op employment opportunities.
