The Interior Styling School Story
The Interior Styling School was created by our founder Lucy Gough out of a desire to make interior styling accessible to everyone, regardless of their background or experience.
With 15 years of expertise in the design world, our founder recognised the growing demand for professional interior stylists who could elevate spaces in a way that was both aesthetically pleasing and functional.
Lucy set out to create a comprehensive, hands-on curriculum that empowers students to think like a professional and style with confidence. Since our humble beginnings, we’ve expanded our reach, welcoming students from diverse cultures, backgrounds, and skill levels.
From passionate hobbyists to those looking to start a full-fledged career in interior styling, our school provides an inclusive and welcoming space for all learners.

Our Vision
At The Interior Styling School, our vision is simple: to inspire, educate, and support the next generation of interior stylists. We believe that styling a space goes beyond just placing furniture or choosing colors—it’s about creating environments that resonate with the people who live in them, that tell stories, evoke emotions, and make every room feel special.
We are committed to providing high-quality education that combines the latest trends and timeless design principles, with practical knowledge and skills that can be applied immediately. Our goal is to ensure that every student who graduates from our program not only feels confident in their abilities but is also equipped to make a real impact in the world of interior styling.
