Why Become an Interior Designer?
10 reasons why the grass is greener as an interior designer
You will be in demand. Almost everyone needs or desires the services of an interior designer at one time or another. This means clients are willing to pay for your design talent.
Work from home. As an interior designer you can work from home on a full or part-time basis, or make interior design a profitable sideline.
Indulge your creative side. A vast range of design and design product companies rely on an interior designer to assist in creative projects. Working alongside other creative professionals is both exciting and rewarding.
Share your flair. You’ll have the required knowledge and skills to assist family and friends. Watch the interest that is created when you say, “I’m studying interior design”.
Meet new people. This is a profession that puts you in touch with interesting people and allows you to do interesting things.
Be rewarded for your knowledge. Interior designers also enjoy great professional benefits. For example it’s common practice for professional designers to be offered valuable discounts on furnishings, decor, art, accessories and more. With the right knowledge you can also gain entry to “professional only” showrooms, exclusive trade shows and design expos.
Experience work freedom. This is an easy way to become self-employed whatever your current lifestyle. You can basically set your own schedule and work as much or as little as you choose. We’ll show you how.
Be paid for your passion. You are getting paid to provide help you’d probably do for pleasure anyway.
Design your life. Your new design skills will almost certainly benefit your own environment.
You’ll also find it fun.
