At present, traditional interior design courses in universities no longer meet the needs of the market and society for new interior designers, and comprehensive educational reforms are needed. This article explored the development opportunities and challenges of interior design majors in universities under the "1+X" certificate system, and proposed in-depth research and reform of this course design. The analysis of higher education reform, practical training, and curriculum system reform highlighted the challenges and problems of current reforms. Curriculum reform measures, practical courses, innovative teaching methods, and practices were emphasized; a detailed analysis was conducted on the teaching strategies of interior design majors under the "1+X" certificate system, and specific suggestions were put forward to transform teaching concepts, construct integrated curriculum certificate teaching reform, and build a "dual teacher" teaching team. By organically integrating the "1+X" certificate system into teaching, the design talents that better meet market demands were cultivated to promote a positive interaction between education and industry, and promote the comprehensive development of students.
