Starting a career in interior designing can be an exciting undertaking. Read on to find out what working in interior design will be like and how you can start building a successful career.

What will working in interior design be like?

Interior designers are trained professionals who often work with large corporate or commercial clients. As an interior designer, you can work on a freelance basis, or for a design consultancy, or for an architecture firm. You can even start your own interior design business, like many other professionals eventually do.

Interior designers usually work in design studios, yet they spend a lot of time on location. They do highly creative yet technical work. This can range from creating presentation drawings to surveying interior construction.

An interior designer can also be expected to:

  • Do research work
  • Liaise with architects and contractors
  • Create interior finishes
  • Offer client consultations
  • Do interior furnishing and decorating
  • Manage budgets
  • Create and maintain project scheduling
  • Do technical drawing
