Do the furnishings in your home complement your personality? Are they bold, ambitious, innovative and striking? Do you often receive compliments for your artistic flair and color composition? If so, you may just be a prime candidate in the interior design industry.
Before we move on, it should be noted that you’ll need more than compliments and a bold personality to break into the industry. With that said, you’re off to a good start. Passion for design, shape and form is an essential quality for all successful designers. So too, is understanding the difference between an interior designer and interior decorator. The biggest often being, formal education.
What’s a career in interior design?
Alas, once you obtain your degree in an interior design related field, it’s time to kick-start your career and make it big.

In your career, you can expect to be involved in the design or renovation of internal spaces- including planning, lighting, fixtures, furnishings, and color schemes.
