How do I choose an Interior Designer?
How do I choose an Interior Designer? There are many people calling themselves Interior Designers who are not qualified but may have a natural flair for putting colours and material together i.e. an interior decorator. A good Interior Designer will have spent 4 years at University. The course they will have studied is now called Interior Architecture, which combines the structural elements of a building with decoration. This is not to be confused with an Interior Design course which studies Interior Decoration. After University the designer will seek to join a good Interior Design Company. So first check the Interior Designer's qualification and secondly look at past projects they have been involved in.
