    No-one is going to let you loose on an actual design, so anything related will be useful. Have you tried going round places that sell/make curtains, upholstery, furniture, paint and wallpaper, fitted kitchens, bathrooms? Any of these would have some link to interior design. I don't mean the likes of Woodies, more shops/businesses that deal specifically in these areas.

    well obviously im not going to go in an design a house or anything, id just like to tag along with them an see what they do. yeah me and my class have tried those kind of shops and nothing they just dont have the work. worst thing if we dont find work experience we fail the course, its a load of crap really.

    I did interior design a few years back and had same problem finding work experience. So I improvised and went to a letting agents. I got work experience from them in the office but also I offered a free pre let service. Just getting houses ready for rental. If landlords wanted any help with soft furnishings etc. the place I did it has since closed but I would deffo try other letting agents in town..

    Try falconer s ... They let me try out some actual plans in secondary work experience ... So I'm sure since you know what you're doing you'd be fine :)
