What others are saying about the DeGangi Interior Decorating Certification Course:

 

"I loved the videos and text manual information. They carried it one step further. I feel very confident about becoming a decorator. I feel I have developed the skills.

I learned several skills-I understand about colors, bedrooms, furniture arranging, and several other aspects of decorating. The course is very informative.

I now have more confidence in working with clients and guiding them through the decorating experience just by the classes I had. The activities really helped.

I feel very confident and well-trained”

"This course has given me confidence and interior decoration knowledge. I am more confident of myself than I was before. I now know what to say to a client. I now have a new approach thanks to the modules because I know the steps to take in my meeting with a client.

I know what questions to ask my clients--what to do.

I can now decorate a client's space without much anxiety or fear of not doing it right because the course has taught me how to do it right. Yes, it has equipped me from the least thing like using fragrance in a room, to how to arrange furniture and where to place accessories.

I really like the time mastery tips! Those will not only help my business grow but will help me in my day-to-day activities! ”

"I really enjoyed the lesson on custom bedding. I found it interesting to learn about the different ways to turn a bedroom into a retreat. Being a seamstress, I love working with fabrics, trims, and the color schemes involved.

Putting together presentation boards was new to me. Making up mock boards now, I believe, will help me in the future. This course has given me a more in depth knowledge of color, fabrics, and decorating style categories. All these lessons helped to fill in the blanks of what I already knew. I feel more confident when talking to others about the effects of color and the mood they want to achieve in their homes.

I feel this course has given me a better understanding of all the different kinds of niches you can get into as a decorator.

I feel more confident when talking to others about decorating. I know how to take better measurement, I know what to look for in quality products, fabrics, etc.

I feel this class has better equipped me to decorate for actual clients. Learning what kinds of questions to ask, I can help them to create an environment that is comfortable and pleasing to them.”

Here is my personal story on being a decorator:

 

My name is Margarett DeGange (Margo), Director of the DeGangi School of Interior Decoration. That is my picture to the right, and also at the very top of the page. I have been decorating for 20 years, and I have experienced a fabulous career. I now spend all of my time helping others to get into the industry and have a really great business and career once they start.

 

Interior Decorating and Interior Design afford you so much excitement and prestige. The lifestyle is fun and you have many opportunities to meet wonderful people, and work in beautiful spaces (that you help to create)!

 

To be successful in this business, you will have to get training (that's why you are here), make a plan, and put effort into your plan. You will have to work at it, but it just does not feel like "work" at all when you are doing what you love and what you are really passionate about! It is actually very thrilling to be in interior decorating each and every day.
 
Decorating is a sensational career, and gives you so much freedom to do many other things, like your hobbies, spending time with family members, sailing (one of my ABSOLUTE favorite things to do), or whatever. This career can give you a lot of flexibility and control over your life to do all of the things you love, including decorating your own home, getting to know other design-related professionals, and traveling.

 

This career has been great, and because I was so passionate about it, I put my heart in it and I did really well. Now YOU CAN TOO!

 

I am going to share all of my decorating secrets and design principles with you—the ones that will make you into a great decorating professional.

Margo’s philosophy in professional decorating:

 

“Put the customer first and your success will follow!

 

Your client’s home is a very real extension of who they are. So much of a person’s identity and how they project themselves out into the world is rooted in the spirit and activities that take place within the home.

 

All of us, and especially your clients, have a deep desire for our interior spaces to be beautiful and in balance. This balance comes first from the harmony in the relationships within the home, and secondly from the functionality and beauty of the home itself.

 

If we keep this in mind as we practice interior decoration and design, we will do so with purpose and meaning."
