INTERIOR DESIGN

Interior designers plan and supervise the design and decoration of the inside of buildings. This can include private homes and buildings such as offices, hotels, restaurants and shops.

As an interior designer, your work would usually involve:

meeting clients to discuss their requirements and ideas
developing designs to suit clients' needs, their budget and the type of building
preparing initial sketches for the client to approve
advising on colour schemes, fabrics, fittings and furniture
working out costs and preparing estimates
creating detailed drawings from the initial sketches, usually on a computer
finding fittings, furniture, fabrics, and wall and floor coverings.

WHAT INTERIOR DESIGNERS REQUIRE

Hours
