Being an interior designer is very demanding mentally. You need to have a lot of creativity to have unique ideas to offer. You have to accept to put a lot of your time in this job. But people who like to communicate with a lot of people would like to be an interior designer because communication is very important for this job.
Interior designers organize spaces so that the final result is beautiful and practical. They need to find materials and furniture that will match the client's preferences while respecting the client's budget.
They start the day with meetings with clients to talk about upcoming projects and to know their preferences and their budget. They also need to take measurements of the place to find out what furniture can fit in that specific place. They create design boards. Also, they estimate the cost of the materials that they will need.
Most interior designers work in an office to develop their ideas, but sometimes they need to work in their client's design sites like schools, hotels, restaurants and many more. Basically, they need to visit the places they need to design to find good ideas that the clients will like.
First, you will need to complete a recognized degree or a diploma in interior design. You will also need a certification from the APDIQ, an association of professional designers from Quebec, if you want to hold the title of APDIQ. Also, employers look for people who have studied in engineering, art, and design. They look for people who have useful knowledge for the job. In the United States and Canada, there are 105 colleges and universities accredited by the Foundation for Interior Design Education Research.
According to ZipRecruiter, the average salary for an interior designer in Quebec is $59393 a year.
They need an on-the-job-training to gain experiences and new skills for your job. They also can take classes to be aware of new trends.
Being an interior designer is not dangerous physically, but it can be dangerous mentally. Clients can change their mind all the time and interior designers need to listen to them. It can become exhausting to always have to come up with new ideas to keep the client happy. So, it can be very hard mentally. There are some days that you won't come up with good ideas, and you can become anxious.
Interior designers are not going to be replaced by robots anytime soon. Interior designers need a lot of creativity, and they need to understand their client's needs. It is hard for a robot to replicate that.
The average age of retirement for an interior designer is 65 years old, but most of them work until they are not able to.
If you are someone who is very organized, who is very creative, who likes to communicate with a lot of people, and who can work under pressure, this job is for you. I hope this article helped you understand what it's like to be an interior designer.
