What Does an Interior Designer Do? (with picture)

somethingnew Post 49

I hope I don't come across as ignorant, but there's a lot I would like to know that maybe I'm just completely missing from the article (and others Ive read). Do interior designers absolutely have to have degrees to do interior design? I know interior designers are responsible for blueprints, all electrical, plumbing, changes, permits and so on. What are they also responsible for, other than showing swatches of colors, fabrics, etc. for approval?

Are there any design projects that are considered usuals, and if so, what is the duration of one project? How long does it take for an interior designer to get him or herself out there to start bringing in decent business?

Is there any advice anyone could give me on this? Is there a success rate or failure rate for them? If so, what is it? I just have so much I want to learn, but not sure where or how to start. Thank you for your input!

I am 18 and will be graduating from high school in about three months. I want to be an interior designer. What do you think? What advice can you give me? I know it is a lot of work but am ready.

Thanks to whoever explained this. Now I got a better basic idea of this career. I'm planning in doing Interior designing for future studies. Now I'm grade 11 and had taken computer science. This is so helpful now. Thanks once again.

I would suggest the following for those who want to become an interior designer:
