Created by : Arjun Kamal ,Interior Designer

2. The Indian design scenario is expanding very fast and
is offering many opportunities. Those who wish to be
self-employed, or work as a free lancer, INTERIOR
DESIGNING is best as a career. This is the only
profession which gives you the flexibility to operate from
your own home without much expenditure. This field of
design is a great career option for one who has flair for
creativity.

3. There are few careers that offer so many benefits. As an interior decorator
you will have the satisfaction of making your vision a reality. You will meet
interesting people, and because many people who hire interior decorators
are wealthy, you will likely spend time in many beautiful homes and
businesses. If you start your own decorating business you can enjoy the
freedom of being your own boss. And perhaps most importantly, your
"work" will be fun, interesting, and rewarding.
As long as you have the desire, you can become an interior decorator. No
special education or experience is necessary to break into this career and
succeed.

4. Interior decorators are expected to know about the various
elements involved in decorating such as: space planning (how to
arrange furniture and other items within a particular space), use of
color and light, furniture and decorating styles, floorings, wall
coverings, window treatments, and use of accessories such as
pillows and art. You can learn decorating through INTERIOR
DECORATION POSTAL COURSE provided by Academy of Interior
Decoration, New Delhi.

5. Do you want to become an Interior Decorator or an
Interior Designer? They are the same, both need to
have an artistic eye, a flair for style, and a great deal of
creativity. The Interior Designer must have some
understanding of architecture and construction, and be
a good business person who can manage people,
budgets and client relationships. An Interior Decorator
needs to be able to carry out a client's vision and
preferences, and plan interiors that are attractive and
practical.

7. Both decorators and designers will combine color
schemes, fabric swatches, and photographs with
sketches for room design. This style guide pertains to all
purchases and changes. Understand that as an interior
designer you will need to know more than how to
decorate a space. For example, you should be able to
easily read a blueprint and know how to communicate
with engineers, architects and clients.

8. Interior decorating is a profession that decides
everything and anything that is found in a particular
space. Interior decorating can include
furnishings, furniture, windows, doors, textures, lights, fi
nishes, walls and floors. Interior decorators are
responsible for making spaces functional, aesthetically
pleasing and safe for the builder and occupants.

9. Anyone involved in interior decorating will be
responsible for meeting with clients to determine wants
and needs, keeping up-to-date with current trends,
matching and coordinating furniture and fixtures,
enhancing the spatial aesthetics, working with builders
and architects and finalizing design concepts.

10. Interior decorating continues to be a very popular and
competitive field, the average salary for a fresh interior
decorator is Rs. 10-15,000 per month. Salaries do vary
greatly, depending on experience, firm
reputation, specialty and employer. Many designers
earn a salary, while a portion of the industry works on a
