The Furniture Design in Interior Design course equips learners with the essential skills to draw and detail furniture designs used in professional interior projects. Furniture detailing is a critical part of interior design, as it communicates how a piece should be constructed, finished, and integrated within a space.
In this course, students will learn how to create accurate technical drawings of furniture, including plans, elevations, sections, and construction details. They will be introduced to standards of measurement, proportions, joinery methods, material indications, and finishing details, ensuring their drawings are clear, precise, and industry-ready.
Emphasis is placed on practical, hands-on exercises, where students practice drafting detailed drawings of cabinets, tables, chairs, wardrobes, and custom-built furniture. They will also explore how to represent different materials, textures, and fittings in technical drawings, preparing them for real-world collaboration with carpenters, manufacturers, and contractors.
By the end of the program, learners will be able to confidently produce professional furniture detailing drawings that bridge design concepts with construction requirements, making them job-ready for interior design practice.
The Furniture Design in Interior Design course provides students with the knowledge and skills to create professional furniture detailing drawings that translate design ideas into buildable solutions. Furniture is a vital element in shaping interiors, and precise detailing ensures that concepts are not only visually appealing but also practical, functional, and manufacturable.
In this program, learners will be guided through the fundamentals of technical drawing for furniture, including plans, elevations, sections, and detailed joinery representations. They will practice using standard measurements, proportions, and construction methods, while also learning how to specify materials, textures, and finishes within drawings.
