From
designing a kitchen to working with a team of interior
designers, architects, lighting designers and color
consultants, the field of interior design is diverse and
exciting.
Interior
design involves much more than interior decorating or drafting. Interior
designers work closely with fellow designers and clients determining
needs and requirements, space planning, designing lighting plans,
selecting furniture, equipment layouts, and materials. Interior designers
can specialize in such commercial design areas as hotels, resorts, restaurants,
or educational institutions.
Designers also create and promote interior applications of paints, woods,
plastics, draperies, fabrics, wall coverings, and other materials.
In
addition to general core classes, students take classes
that introduce an overview of lifestyles, business
orientated classes, and classes that deal with technical
issues concerning the built environment. Additional design studio courses apply design principles,
artistic skills, and professional interior design
practices.
