People, who want to work in a creative industry, should start as early as possible. It could be an art school or just an after-school creative activity, and maybe even events, where there is an opportunity to gain more experience through volunteering. It is useful, because it develops imagination and also shows the human interest in the creative journey.

Interior design, like any creative work, requires not only great imagination, but also curiosity and a desire to improve. It is a job, that requires a lot of interest and investment in your knowledge. This can be following new information online, in magazines or even fashion trends and visiting local and international exhibitions.

To become an interior designer, you usually need to have a diploma in design or similar work experience, which can ensure, that a person has the basic knowledge for this particular job. However, this is often not enough. It is important to show the acquired knowledge in your portfolio gallery, where you can see not only what projects a person has been involved in, what experience he has and what programs are used to carry out the projects, but also skill development and improvement.

An interior designer often performs many different functions, such as:

DESIGN

It’s a job, that requires concentration and is spent at the table designing sketch suggestions for clients. These are usually computer drawing (CAD), ergonomically arranged spaces in 2D and 3D visualisations, that also show the style and idea of the interior.

FINISHING MATERIALS

Interior design involves the search for innovations, that can often bring life to different projects. Part of an interior designer’s day is often inseparable from the collection of materials, colours and furniture. These are often fun tasks, but many of them may seem less fun and more like real work.

MONITORING OF EXPENSES

The work of an interior designer is very responsible. Customers, who trust their designer, listen to every piece of advice. Therefore, the designer must always know every detail and understand the project dimensions that are being executed. It is important to know that if a designer does not know his work and does not have the knowledge, his advice can be financially unprofitable and cause the home not to be ergonomic.

SUPERVISION OF WORK

Every interior designer needs to know how lighting, plumbing and other key elements in a home work, in order to do their job successfully. Moreover, this work involves not only communicating with your clients, but also the architects, builders, and other people who contribute to the project.

To be an interior designer you need not only to be creative, but also to have a lot of skills and practice. It is a job, that is never boring and allows the designer to fulfil everyone’s dreams of having a beautiful and interesting home.
