Interior design is a very exciting field of work that is becoming more and more popular as people are increasingly spending money to improve their homes. The popularity of home improvement and renovation TV shows has increased the desire to work on our own homes and make them into something special, rather than sell up to buy something more extravagant. People hire interior designers to guide them on the latest trends and advice for what sort of interior decorating would suit their house. Interior designers are also employed in the commercial sector such as in hospitality and corporate offices.
There is no doubt that you must have a creative streak if you are to become a successful interior designer. You need to be able to take a bland room or space and turn it into something to suit the people, demographic, purpose and desires of the client. If you are not experienced with designing yet, studying courses, magazines, websites and other material will assist you on your way. In addition to the creativity, you also need the ability to plan well and to communicate with your clients. You will need to design the way they want their homes and buildings designed, not base everything on your tastes. So it takes a special kind of person to excel in interior design.
Getting an interior design degree shows that you have proven yourself to be dedicated to the field. If you wish to be employed by a design firm then they will look fondly upon your degree. Likewise, if you choose to run your own interior decorating business then your clients will be comfortable in knowing that you are qualified.
An interior design degree goes beyond teaching you the basics. It will teach you innovation, creativity, business skills, colors, concepts and more. It will also help you work well in a team and communicate with others. Most degrees also give you work experience in the field, working with professional interior designers so you can get a feel of what it is all about in a practical sense. This is crucial as it will help you build up a portfolio before you graduate and give you some vital experience. Making sure your degree offers this will be a big help when you graduate and begin looking for a job.

Interior Designing
Do you have a habit of scourging furniture shops? Do you always critically look at someone's home decor? Do you keep doing up your home with newer and better knick-knacks? Do you sometimes feel that some homes do not reflect the owner's personality?
If you have said yes to any of the above, you are well on your way to being a good interior designer.
Interior design does not require an introduction. Most of us have come across this speciality sometime in our lives and like all careers, it is boom-time for interior designers too. So, if you are looking at making a career in interior design, here's some helpful information.
What is interior designing?
Interior design is the process of shaping the experience of interior space. So it's not just interior decoration but it also involves aspects of environmental psychology, architecture and product design.
While some would say it is just the art of putting some furniture together, interior designers beg to differ. Experts say that interior design is a creative process that understands the client's need, creates a conceptual design, reviews the design, and produces a final cut design document or plan.
Many a time, an interior designer works closely with the architect to define the finer nuances of a home. However, these are absolutely different branches looking at different aspects of a home. While your architect will tell you the dimensions of your bathroom and even the tiles to be used, your interior designer will tell you the best fittings and how the bathroom will compliment your mood.
Who can become an interior designer?
There is quite a big debate on that front. Everyone agrees that you need to be a creative person if you want to be an interior designer. However, some feel that you need added qualifications.
"You need creativity, financial acumen, interest and knowledge of materials to be a good interior designer," says Parthajeet Sarma, director of iDream Advisory Services Private Limited.
Sarma is actually an architect however he has been involved in interior design with as much success.
He adds, "(Some) One who has an eye for detail and loves solving cryptic puzzles would make a good interior designer. I am not an interior designer but an architect -- however I have been involved in this industry for 12 years now."
The key word then is interest. The rest falls in after that. Create a checklist and tick from interest, creativity, financial knowledge and the willingness to learn about brick and mortar.
What are the career prospects?
Interior designers are in demand. Industry experts say there is a dearth of good interior designers.
"Interior designers are in much demand now due to the retail boom in India," says Shubha Jain who offers interior design courses at the International Institute of Fashion Design (Mumbai). "Career prospects range from starting their own firms and taking up projects, to working as a designer for malls, hotels and design companies. Interior designers are also employed by big architectural firms to cope with project load."
But success will not come instantly. Once you finish your training, you will need to work hard to get some recognition. "Yes, the career prospects are good," says Sarma, "But be prepared to slog it out during the initial years. If you do that and you are intrinsically good at design, you will surely shine. Be warned however that this is not like doing an MBA from an IIM where you join at the top and retire at the top."
