Interior Design Schools   by Michael Bustamante

Interior Design Schools teach students how to create beautiful and functional designs for building interiors. They produce professional interior designers who fashion interiors for public buildings, private homes and businesses, and institutional facilities, such as restaurants, theaters, offices, stores, hospitals, and hotels.

Interior Design students learn how to assess their clients' taste, needs, budget, and priorities, and how to incorporate the elements and principles of color, texture and design to achieve the desired effect. They learn about floor treatments, wall finishes, window coverings, furnishings, lighting, and room details. They learn to design safe and functional interior spaces that conform to Federal, State, and local laws, including building codes and accessibility standards for the disabled. Interior Design Schools also teach the skills needed to start and operate an interior design business.

The field of Interior Design offers unlimited earning potential. Interior Designers can typically earn up to $66,000 or more annually. Upon graduation, many interior designers begin their career as an apprentice for an established firm, gaining the practical experience needed before opening a business of their own.

Many Interior Design Schools offer college diplomas in Interior Design, including Associate and Bachelor degrees. There are also vocational schools that produce certified professional interior designers.
