Design Your Home With the Confidence of a Designer

Become a Founding Member

A new kind of interior design education for people who love beautiful interiors—and want to learn how to create them in their own homes.

Your Instructor

From the University Classroom to Your Home


For years, I taught Interior Design at the university level. As an interior designer, artist, and educator with a PhD in education, I’ve spent my career studying not only what makes a room beautiful, but how to teach others to see and understand design.

Now I’m bringing those worlds together in the Lori Brunner Interior Design Academy.

This isn’t about copying a beautiful room from Pinterest or following a list of decorating rules.

It’s about learning how designers think—how we make decisions about color, scale, proportion, furniture, art, lighting, materials, and the details that transform a room from simply decorated to beautifully considered.

And I’d love for you to be among the very first members.

Founding Membership

$97/month

Inside the Academy

What You’ll Experience


Live Interior Design Sessions

Join me for live teaching sessions where we’ll explore the principles and methods professional designers use to create beautiful, cohesive interiors.

Watch On Your Own Schedule

Can’t attend live? Academy teaching sessions will also be available on demand, so you can learn when it works for you and revisit lessons as you work on your home.

Live Q&A

Bring your design questions to our live Q&A sessions and get guidance as you make decisions for your own spaces.

Member Room & Photo Reviews

We’ll look at real rooms and member-submitted photographs together, discussing what’s working, what may feel “off,” and the changes that can make the greatest difference. You’ll learn not only from your own home, but by seeing how design principles apply to other spaces as well.

A Community That Loves Beautiful Interiors

The Academy is also about creating a community of people who share a genuine interest in interiors, art, architecture, collecting, and the art of living beautifully — a place to learn, exchange ideas, ask questions, and become more confident in your own point of view.

Learn to See Your Home Differently


My goal isn’t to tell you exactly what to buy or give you a formula for creating a “perfect” room.

It’s to teach you to see your home like a designer.

  • To understand why one room feels beautifully balanced while another feels slightly off.
  • Why scale matters.
  • Why some color palettes feel sophisticated and others don’t quite come together.
  • Why the right art can change an entire room.
  • And why the most memorable interiors often feel collected rather than decorated.

Over time, you’ll develop something far more valuable than a shopping list:

Confidence in your own design decisions.

Professional Design Education

Made Accessible


A single private interior design consultation can cost considerably more than a month inside the Academy.

The Academy gives you ongoing access to professional design education, live conversation, Q&A, room analysis, and a growing library of resources—for $97 per month as a Founding Member.

You don’t need to redesign your entire house. You might be working on one room, choosing art, reconsidering a color palette, shopping for furniture—or simply wanting to understand design on a deeper level.

Come with the home you have and the questions you have.

Why Founding Members?

This First Group Will Help Shape the Academy


As a Founding Member, you’ll be part of the community from the beginning. I’ll be listening closely to the questions you’re asking, the rooms you’re working on, and the subjects you’d most like us to explore.

In return, you’ll receive something future members won’t:

Your Founding Member rate of $97/month will remain your rate for as long as you maintain your membership.

Future membership: $127/month.

The Art of Living Beautifully

Beautiful interiors aren’t created by simply buying beautiful things. They’re created by learning how to see.
