interior designer evaluates and designs interior living and work spaces to make them functional, appealing and well-suited to an owner's needs. As a designer, you must create decorative layouts for homes, office complexes, medical facilities, restaurants, stores, places of worship, airports and hotels. A job may include creating color palettes, selecting appropriate furniture, and accessorizing the space with fabrics, wall hangings, window treatments, light fixtures and flooring. An interior designer must communicate effectively with clients to make sure the design fits the owner's style and purpose.
interior designer's responsibilities involves meeting with clients to discuss decorating needs, room layout plans, and the functionality of a room or building. You must have effective communication skills so you can understand what a client wants and successfully design a room to meet his criteria. Some clients already have a thorough understanding of what they want, while others are looking for advice and suggestions to help them create a stylish space. Most of your communication happens during on-site meetings, so both you and the client can visualize the space and discuss patterns, materials, colors, fabrics and furnishings.
Once you see the living or work space and understand the owner's intentions, you must make a plan for designing and decorating the area. An interior designer is more than an interior decorator; the job requires mapping out the space to determine furniture location and overall room design. Interior designers often use design software to analyze square footage and create efficient layouts. The software also allows you to compare color palettes, add furnishings,and visually evaluate fabrics and patterns before you actually purchase those materials. The results from the software programs are often shared with clients.
interior designer purchases furnishings, schedules delivery and coordinates installation. Even though the owner is responsible for the cost associated with the purchases and services, interior designers are responsible for the legwork necessary to get the items ordered. A major responsibility includes taking measurements to make sure appliances, work desks, light fixtures, decorative furnishings, televisions and other accessories fit in the space. If the furnishings don't work in the area, you must return and reorder until the client is happy with the outcome. Some clients want to be a part of every purchase and every decorating decision, while others leave the decision-making up to the designer
interior designers do the labor of painting, hanging wallpaper, installing flooring and renovating, while others hire other professionals to do the work. The workload is usually discussed with the client before services are provided, so budgets and expenses can be determined. If you choose to do the work yourself, you're responsible for making sure that the quality meets the client's expectations. Arranging furniture and installing appliances are strenuous tasks, so make sure you have the manpower to put everything in place
