Interior Design Home Office Do i really need a degree to become an interior designer?
I LOVE interior designing. I’ve been very creative since i was a child. But currently im doing a degree in health management. I would love to follow my dreams and instead open an at home office and start and interior design business.
Does this really require a degree? or no? please help. or are there diplomas/certificates i can do?
YES! To become an “Interior Designer”, you not only need to get a degree from a design school or university that is FIDER accredited (FIDER is the abbreviation for the Foundation for Interior Design Education Research. Its purpose is to accredit interior design programs that lead to a bachelor’s degree), but you need to take a test and pass it to get your NCIDQ (National Council for Interior Design Qualifications). The test is really difficult and has questions relating not only to design as used in applications anbd projects but also questions regarding building codes and structures. Each state has a different test. Florida and California’s are extra tough because they have extreme buildnig codes that have to withstand earthquakes and hurricanes. Texas’s test is pretty tough too.
Only once you’ve gotten your degree and passed the NCIDQ can you then call yourself an “Interior Designer”. If you haven’t met those requirements and you call yourself that, especially in print (ads, business cards, etc.) you can get sued and will never be allowed to become an interior designer.
However, you can call yourself a Design Consultant, Interior Decorator or just plain Designer without having your NCIDQ or any degree. You just don’t have the clout that comes with it.
Honestly, most people don’t realize that the only real money that is made for interior designers is if they are a partner or own their own company. Most underlings do nothing but research codes and call to check on the availibility of fabrics, products, etc. all day – it’s very boring. Plus it’s not much money at all. There is very little creativity involved. I’m not trying to be a downer, just want to shed some facts on the reality. There are actually very few Kelly Wearstlers out there, mostly people that do a lot of grunt work.
I don’t know where you live, but if you live in/near a big metropolitan city I’m sure you can find a high-end design showroom or funriture store that employs people as design consultants. You basically meet with people and help them put together entire rooms at their home or just maybe a few furniture pieces and accessories.You can try your hand at that to see if you like it. Depending upon the company and how good you are at it, you can make pretty good money.
