Delivered live, or on demand, the Design for Wellbeing course at Grigoriou Education guides students in designing spaces that prioritise wellbeing through lessons that focus on aesthetics, comfort and performance.

Wellbeing, often seen as optional, is an essential part of responsible, future-focused design approaches. Today, interior designers and architects are expected to create spaces that actively support health, comfort, and performance, not just visual appeal.

But how do you confidently design for wellbeing in both commercial environments and private homes?

Design for Wellbeing is a comprehensive online training course that brings wellbeing theory and design practice together in one clear, accessible learning experience. The course equips you with the knowledge and tools to translate wellbeing principles into thoughtful, evidence-based design decisions.

We can provide a hybrid format for in-house training delivery, allowing flexibility while still offering deeper engagement and support.

The covers topics such as the philosophy of wellbeing, comfort, performance and the aesthetic and physical elements that shape interior experience.

A dedicated section focuses on interior spaces and value, addressing how to articulate and quantify the holistic value and measurement of wellbeing-led design.

This course is perfectly suited for new designers who want to propel their career and specialise in design for wellbeing, existing designers who wish to bolster their professional status and those looking at a career pivot and wanting to explore this specific entry point and approach to interior design.
