What is the difference between a holiday decorator and a holiday designer?

A Holiday Decorator: a hands-on artist who transforms a space with seasonal flair. They focus on implementing the design—placing decorations, arranging ornaments, hanging lights, and creating visual appeal according to a specific plan or theme. They are knowledgeable of what holiday decor to use where. They move furniture around and small accessories to replace with holiday decor.  When you are certified through Christmas Design Institute you will have the knowledge to be able to decorate your home or a client's space with confidence.  

A Holiday Designer: a professional holiday decorator with an elevated level of skill, involvement and work. Moving from decorating to designing requires a higher level of education to learn how to put together functional designs.  They are more like creative strategists. They craft the concept, theme, and overall vision for holiday décor and design. Their work often includes complete redesigns, new planning layouts, choosing color schemes, sourcing materials, and designing custom elements to ensure everything aligns beautifully. 

A holiday designer brings not only a new aesthetic but can redesign and completely renovate a space with new decor.  The designer imagines the magic, and the decorator brings it to life.  A great holiday designer will transform a space to bring dreams to fruition. Enrolling in the holiday designer course will teach you the skills to become a top notch designer and the confidence to create beautiful designs for your home and/or clients.

Do you offer money back guarantee?

We do not offer a money back guarantee or any refunds because you will have gained access to our proprietary material, but we do strive for excellence and promise to make sure you feel confident about your designing skills. If you find the course is just not giving you enough explanation you can book sessions with Heather to help you master your technique.

What if I'm not crafty?

You don't have to be crafty to have success in the design world. You just have to have desire and learn the fundamentals and principles of design. We focus on these principles so after taking this course you will have an understanding of how to create beautiful designs. Even the most un-crafty person can make amazing designs after learning these basics!

What supplies will I need?

Inside the course you will download a supply list with all the tools you will need to create stunning holiday designs.

How long will I have access to the course materials?
