ID 113 - Interior Design Materials and Specifications

Students learn how to select appropriate materials for residential and non-residential projects.  Materials include, but are not limited to: paint, wall-coverings; hard and soft flooring such as tiles and carpet; counter materials such as stone, tiles, and man made materials such as faux stone.  Additionally, textiles are covered extensively and appropriately for interior spaces.  Window treatments are addressed in terms of materials, fabrication workrooms, window measurements, calculating yardage, hardware and installation.  Furniture construction for upholstered and case goods are  also addressed in terms of wood, wood cuts, joinery, framing, and finishes. Students not only select appropriate materials for a given project, but specify the materials as if for a real project.  Field trips are an integral component of this class.  Students' visit design showrooms, and fabrication shops throughout the semester.
