You are a student looking for a certified interior design school with a great reputation.

It doesn't matter if you are a complete beginner with no experience.

We believe interior design in Nigeria deserves to be taught properly, as a real profession that empowers you to earn.

That is why our facilitators do not stop at beautiful spaces. They teach you to plan a room, price it accurately, draw it up, defend your choices to paying clients, and hand the project over on schedule.

When interior design companies in Nigeria are asked where to learn this profession, they recommend Maven first.

That's not our claim. That's our reputation.

Founded in 2009 by Olaniyi Gbolahan

Maven SIDD, the first interior decoration school in Nigeria, was founded with one goal: to empower individuals with a skill powerful enough to earn a living from. What started as a single classroom has grown into four campuses across two countries, with more than 3,000 graduates who have gone on to shape Nigeria's interior design industry. Olaniyi Gbolahan's vision was simple: teach interior design the way it is practised, not as theory, but as a profession.
