Interior Design Colleges and Schools
Associate's and bachelor's degree programs in interior decorating
Do you love to watch shows like Trading Spaces and Shabby Chic. Have you ever walked into a room and thought, "Wow, the things I could do with this space"? If you have, then perhaps you are cut out for a career in Interior Design.
Being an Interior Designer is a challenging, but fun career. Success requires hard work, but it also a job with many benefits such as flexible hours and discounts at many stores. The first step to working in Interior Design is to complete an Associate's or Bachelor's Degree Program in Interior Decorating. In such programs you will take courses in everything from interior design, to art, to technology, to basic architecture.
An interior decorator is part designer and part architect. However, it is also vitally important that one has a good degree of business acumen. Much of the job involves spending the money of clients, which means that a good designer must be very adept at budgeting and cost estimation. In addition you must develop a very strong sense of scale and special vision. These are things that your time in an Interior Design College will teach you. Upon leaving school you will work under an established designer for a lengthy period to hone your craft even further.
Even if you do not want to work as an interior designer professionally, and just plan on remodeling your home, taking a class from an Interior Design College or School is a good idea. Such programs will teach you the fundamentals of design that are important when designing a living space.
