We spend over 90 percent of our day in interior
spaces, despite this, most of us take interiors for
granted, barely noticing the furniture , colours and
textures and other elements – let alone the form of
the space – of which they are made. Some times,
of course the design of the interior does catch our
intention.

4. Becoming an interior design
The American Society of Interior Designers (ASID)
defines an interior designer as one who "is
professionally trained to create a functional and
quality interior environment. Qualified through
education, experience and examination, a
professional designer can identify, research and
creatively resolve issues and lead to a healthy,
safe and comfortable physical environment." At
it's heart, interior design is the art and science of
understanding people's behavior in order to
create functional spaces within the structures that
architects design.

5. Becoming an interior design
Interior designers are responsible for a wide variety of
tasks including: organizing a space to suit its function,
making sure that designs match are in compliance
with building and safety codes, managing the
construction and installation of a design, and even
designing for appropriate acoustics and sound
transmission. An interior designer is also responsible
selecting and specifying fixtures, furnishings, products,
materials and colors -- but note that is just one of many
responsibilities.
Interior designers are also -- in some, but not all states
-- required to have a license (usually acquired by
completing the NCIDQ exam). This licensing certifies
that the designer is a qualified professional who has the
background and schooling required to make complex
decisions about interior spaces.

Who is interior decorator?
Interior decorators, on the other hand, are
primarily concerned with surface decoration --
paint, fabric, furnishings, lighting and other
materials. Decoration is often characterized as
the furnishing or adorning of a space with
appropriate (often fashionable or attractive)
things.

9. Becoming an interior design
"But wait," you say. "Don't interior designers do that
too?" The answer is often yes, but the biggest
difference is that the interior designer typically has a
number of other issues on his or her mind. For instance,
when it comes to floor coverings, an interior decorator
will probably be responsible for choosing the type,
color, texture, and pattern. The interior designer, on the
other hand, will make the selection based on those
criteria, with an additional eye towards the
appropriateness of type, usage, sound transference,
acoustic properties, flammability, off-gassing
properties, static electricity requirements and
flammability.

10. Becoming an interior design
Professional interior designers are not interior
decorators and interior decorators are not
professional interior designers although the public
generally does not see any difference
“interior design is not the same as decoration.
Decorations is the furnishing or adorning a space
with fashionable or beautiful things. Decoration,
although a valuable and important element of an
interior , is solely concerned with human
interaction or human behavior . Interior design is
all about human behavior and human
interaction.”

11. Becoming an interior design
Difference between interior design &
interior decorating
An interior decorator applies decorating principles to
beautify a space. Although an "interior designer" can
also make aesthetic changes to an interior space, the
interior designer is a professional licensed and/or
registered with a licensing authority who coordinates
design projects with a holistic approach in spatial
design. This effort includes designing the interior
architecture, in addition to beautifying the space.

12. Becoming an interior design
Education requirements are less technical for an interior
decorator than for an interior designer. While an interior
decorator requires no formal mandated education or
licensing requirements, an interior designer must meet
both education and licensing requirements of the
licensing jurisdiction, and the designer must be well
versed and knowledgeable technically in the building
and safety codes that can affect changes to interior
spaces.

13. Becoming an interior design
Interior architecture? What is
Interior Architecture bridges the practices of interior
design and architecture so that professionals working
in the field have a structural and load bearing
education with an emphasis on interior spaces. The
field is similar to architecture in that it deals with
structures and load bearing walls. It is similar to
interior design in that it focuses on interior spaces.

14. Becoming an interior design

architectural principles in the design of structural
interiors for living, recreational, and business purposes
and to function as professional interior architects.

design, heating and cooling systems, occupational and
