Things You Should Know About Becoming an Interior
Designer

• Before you make a life-altering career choice,
  there are some things you should know about the
  design world. Interior designers face challenges
  every day some of these may not appeal to you,
  while others may excite you and open doors to a
  career that you never thought was possible.

There Is a Difference Between Decorators and
Designers

• Literally anyone can become an interior
  decorator. Someone who loves playing with colors,
  fabrics and textiles can become a decorator by
  simply printing business cards and promoting
  themselves to clients. This is not necessarily a
  bad thing, but educational background is also
  important.
• On the other hand, an interior designer must have
  an accredited education an associate or
  bachelors degree is a requisite for working in
  the interior design field. Do you want to pursue
  an education, or jump immediately into the
  decorating world? Keep reading to see if interior
  design could be the right fit for you.

You Must Have a Knack for Design

• It may seem obvious, but in order to become an
  interior designer, you need to have an innate
  flair for color, spatial arrangements,
  architecture and textiles. Do you enjoy
  decorating your home and get lots of compliments
  on your decor? That doesnt necessarily mean you
  should be an interior designer, but its
  certainly a good sign.
• The first step to a successful career is to
  follow your passion. After all, doing something
  you love will never feel like work. Take this fun
  quiz to see which field you should consider
  majoring in. Is a career in interior design in
  your future?

Interior Design Isnt All Fabric and Fun

• While fabrics, furniture and color may play a
  large role in interior design, there are plenty
  of other tasks that are required of interior
  designers many of which may seem less like fun
  and more like work.
• Interior designers need to be educated in the
  history of design, the structural integrity of
  buildings, building codes, ergonomics, spatial
  concepts, ethics, psychology, computer-aided
  drawing (CAD) and much more.

You Need to Be a People Person

• Ask interior designers to share their
  experiences, and they will surely relate some
  horror stories of past clients. People are
  finicky, especially when it comes to their
  homes. While some clients have clear goals in
  mind, others may think they know what they want
  only to discover that they hate the final product
  and are dissatisfied with your work.
• A successful interior designer is a people
  pleaser and a mitigator (and sometimes a mind
  reader) someone who can steer clients toward a
  favorable outcome while making them feel they are
  in full control of the design choices. Interior
  designers are constantly balancing their design
  decisions and their clients desires. Its not a
  cakewalk, to say the least.

You Need to Develop a Portfolio

• A picture says a thousand words, and this is
  definitely true when it comes to an interior
  designers portfolio. You can talk all day long
  about colors and textiles, but unless you have an
  outstanding portfolio that showcases your designs
  and projects, your successes will be few and far
  between.
• If you are just coming out of school and are
  new to the job market, it may be necessary to
  offer your services for free or at a reduced
  rate. This is probably the best way to get a
  portfolio started its also a great way to get
  to know local merchandisers and suppliers, and
  develop a rapport for future projects.
• Everybody starts at the bottom. With some effort,
  experience and proper marketing, you can become a
  successful force in the interior design field.

Competition Is Fierce in Interior Design

• Interior design is a competitive business. The
  key to success is getting yourself noticed. As
  mentioned above, an amazing designer portfolio
  will certainly help you land jobs.
• Another important factor is acquiring an
  extensive education. The more you know, the
  better off you will be. Consider looking toward
  future trends such as population growth,
  designing for the elderly, modern architecture
  and green design education within these specific
  fields of design will give you the upper hand in
  the job market.
