Basic Interior Styling Workshop - 7th February 2026

Inside the Basic Interior Styling Workshop: Creativity, Skill, and Business in One Room

On the 7th of February 2026, the Women Makers Skill Studio came alive with creativity, learning, and hands-on exploration at the recently concluded Basic Interior Styling Workshop held in Lekki, Lagos.

Designed as an immersive, studio-based experience, the workshop brought together women ready to explore interior styling not just as a creative outlet—but as a practical, income-generating skill.

A Hands-On Learning Experience

From the moment the session began, it was clear this was not a lecture—it was a working studio.

Participants engaged directly in:

• Candle making and styling
• Vase creation and décor styling
• Floral arrangement basics

Each activity was structured to move beyond theory, allowing participants to create, experiment, and refine their work in real time. The focus was on building confidence through doing—learning the small details that elevate simple ideas into polished, sellable pieces.

Learning from Industry Practitioners

The workshop was led by a strong lineup of facilitators who brought both expertise and lived experience into the room.

• Kemisola Adetola, Founder & Creative Director of Breather Renaissance, guided participants through the creative process—showing how to transform ideas into tangible, market-ready work, while sharing insights on building a sustainable creative business.
• Ann Omo-Ojo, Founder of Bespoke Balloons and Flowers, introduced participants to floral arrangement techniques, breaking down the fundamentals of design, balance, and presentation.
• Yemisi Falaye, Entertainment and IP Lawyer, delivered a critical session on brand protection, helping participants understand how to legally safeguard their creative work and business.
• Additional sessions on business and finance were led by facilitators including Temilola Muyiwa-Ajayi and Precious Alajemba, who provided practical guidance on pricing, financial management, and running a structured business.

Together, the facilitators ensured that participants didn’t just learn how to create—but also how to protect, price, and sustain their work.

Beyond Creativity: Building for Sustainability

A key highlight of the workshop was its focus on turning creativity into viable business opportunities.

Participants were introduced to:

• Pricing strategies for handmade and styled products
• Financial basics for creative entrepreneurs
• Legal frameworks for protecting their brand and work

This integrated approach reflects the Women Makers philosophy: skills alone are not enough—women need the tools to build sustainably.

A Space for Growth and Connection

Beyond the technical sessions, the workshop created a space for connection and shared learning. Participants engaged with one another, exchanged ideas, and built relationships that extend beyond the day itself.

There was a strong sense of openness in the room—women learning at different stages, supporting one another, and gaining confidence together.

Looking Ahead

The Basic Interior Styling Workshop is part of the growing Women Makers Skill Studio, an initiative designed to provide practical, hands-on learning experiences across creative and business disciplines.

As more women explore new skills and pathways, programs like this continue to play an important role in bridging creativity with opportunity.

For many participants, the workshop was not just a class—it was a starting point.
