Really pleased to read that LivingEtc is teaming up with KLC School of Design to launch a free - yes, you read that correctly, FREE - 4 week online design course. Trust me, these offers don't come often! And even though I am already registered with KLC on an interior design course, I plan on taking on this learning opportunity as well. You can enrol now through FUTURE LEARN (read on for the course curriculum and to enrol).

THE POWER OF COLOUR

Colour is all around us but how can we use it to the benefit of our interiors when there is so much to choose from? KLC is here to help. Their course called 'The Power of Colour' examines the cultural and artistic elements of colour and how it works in the home and wider world.

CURRICULUM

Over a period of 4-weeks, the course will cover aspects such as:

• Biology - how we see colour

• Physics - how colour travels as lightwaves

• Anthropology - Cultural associations with colour

• Psychology - How colour is believed to impact us emotionally

• Creativity & design - colour theory, how to apply and combine colour in order to achieve the desired impact.

The course will even examine colour preferences in different countries and take a look at the colours of 2016.

NOT JUST FOR YOUR HOME

Understanding the basics behind colour can get you a long way and not just if you are thinking of a career in interiors. Colour can help you deliver a message with greater impact and is one of the deal breakers in marketing and advertising. So if you are currently considering branding and don't know where to start and which colours could better represent your brand, this course could be a great starting point for you.

HOW DO I ENROLL

It couldn't be easier, and did I mention it is FREE?
