Many people are interested in art from an early age and would like to be able to make a living at it. However, pursuing a career as a professional artist isn't for the faint of heart as it very competitive. Stories of starving artists exist because there is some truth to the adage.
Nevertheless, there is a way to make a very good living while following your artistic dreams. By getting a degree in interior design, people who are interested in art can pursue their artistic interests while being involved in an exciting and lucrative career. Designers often work closely with art galleries and other architectural and peer firms to create stunning visions in design and décor.
This is a technical degree. There is a good deal of technical skill and knowledge required to become a professional in this field. As a general rule, a bachelor of fine arts in interior design is required for employment in entry-level positions in the architecture and design world.
However, you may also gain entry into the field with an associate degree in interior design. An associate degree in this can help you get a job as an assistant to an interior designer. Additional training on the job and further education can help you move up into an apprenticeship program with either an architectural firm or a design firm.
Once you have completed your degree, you will need to have three years of work experience in the field before you may take the National Council for Interior Design Qualification exam. One year of your experience may be at an internship level while you are in school. Once the NCIDQ exam is successfully completed, the designer may apply for their state's licensure or certification. Each state's requirements vary, so you will need to check with your state's licensing board for details.
There are many types of jobs for people who are interested in the field. For people who are interested in architectural design, architectural interior designers create and plan the furnishing and equipage of various interior spaces in conjunction with architectural firms, as they are being designed and built. This may encompass creating for commercial, as well as residential spaces.
In addition to designing spaces, many professionals create furniture and other interior equipment. There is even an interior design designation for people who work with lighting, because the way a room or space feel can be greatly changed or enhanced simply with the element of light. Pros who go on to complete a master's or other graduate degree in this study will be qualified to teach at the university level and will also be in great demand because of their superior knowledge.
