The "Interior Design: Help Your Home" is a class that will explore color, window treatment options and more creative ideas to beautify a home. Participants will use their own floor plans and plenty of imagination to discover how to make the most of their living space. The instructor will give useful information on how to deal with problem areas and decorating challenges.
This class meets from 7 to 9 p.m. Oct. 24. The cost of the class is $19. Use course ID NHG S25 010 when registering.
