Jacqueline researched the possibility of a school and this coincided with a burgeoning interest in interiors in the climate of resuscitation in the post war years.
The school started as a Ten Week Course, programmed to answer the demand for more and practical information about the design and decoration of the domestic interior.
Alumni include Luciano Giubellei, Phillip Nixon, Marcus Barnett, all of them Gold medallists at Chelsea.
In 1999, after nearly forty outstandingly successful years during which Inchbald established an international reputation, the School was validated by the University of Wales.
2007 saw the introduction of Inchbald Online; at the present time the entire curriculum, from master's degrees to Short Courses, is available Online and students have been drawn from across the world to study programmes of varying length at what has become one of the best known international schools specializing in all aspects of Interior Design and Decoration, and Garden Design.
