Does anyone know how to start an interior design business?

Here’s the details. Everyone that see’s my home raves about my decorating and tells me I should be a designer. Thats fine and sounds very interesting to me, but I have no formal education in interior design. There is not a single college that offers these types of programs in my area and my husband is military, so I cannot move to attend college. I was wondering if it’s possible to start a decorating service that just advices clients and helps them with their redecoration. Rather than completely doing the job for them and charging them some sort of insane fee. I want to give people ideas and then help them do that. Like painting etc. And make it very affordable also. Would anyone have any advice on how I should go about this?

First of all, DON’T call it an interior DESIGN business, because you WILL need a degree, and possibly a license, for this. A DECORATING business should be easy enough to start without a degree-as long as you are just advising on paint colors, accessories, maybe some drapes etc. You’ll get some flack from designers in the area but they’ll get over it (designers can be snobs because they did go to school for a long time and have spent a lot of time and money on their degree).

Get some books on starting your own business and go for it! The hardest part will be finding your clients.

Good luck!
