Furniture tells stories—of eras, craftsmanship, and personal taste. But even the most charming pieces lose their lustre over time. That’s where design meets restoration. This online Furniture Restoration and Design course explores techniques for bringing aged, damaged, or dated furniture back to life, blending tradition with creativity. You’ll dive into the materials, finishes, structural repair methods, and historical influences that shape great furniture design, all while learning how to give each piece a new lease on life.

Whether you're a collector, creative, or simply love interior design, this course will guide you in restoring beauty and function to forgotten furnishings. From evaluating construction to selecting the right restoration approach, you'll gain the knowledge needed to identify period styles, apply finishing techniques, and respect original character while enhancing aesthetic value. You’ll also gain an appreciation for form, balance, and function in design. It’s not just about fixing—it’s about reimagining. And all from the comfort of your own space.
