If you have ever dreamed of creating beautiful interiors, an interior designer career may be the perfect fit! Interior designers work to create functional, aesthetically pleasing spaces within a given structure. From corporate offices to private homes, interior designers must be knowledgeable and skilled in the areas of design theory, space planning, material selection, code compliance, and installation.
To become an interior designer typically requires an associate's or bachelor's degree in interior design or related discipline with courses in such areas as history of interior design; building codes; furniture and decoration; color coordination and schemes; textiles; Lighting systems; CAD (computer-aided design); and ergonomics. After completing a postsecondary program in interior design, applicants must pass the major Interior Design Qualification Exam through the National Council for Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ) for admission into full professional status.
In addition to formal education, a successful designer should possess certain skills such as: excellent communication skills; an ability to work with clients and budgets; attention to detail; creative problem solving abilities; computer literacy relevant to software packages for drawings/plans/3D renderings (such as AutoCAD); ability to use color effectively; knowledge of materials suitable for different projects/applications and able to express solutions visually ; good organizational skills ; team building and collaboration
An aspiring interior designer's portfolio should demonstrate the individual's creativity and skill at visualizing ideas. A portfolio often contains sketches, business plans detailing projects from beginning until end including floor plans, elevations, perspectives as well as pictures. Examples of another completed project may also be included such as sketching furniture arrangements or creating mood boards.
