Does your child have a penchant for drawing and designing? Is he always making changes at home and making things look better? Do you always go to him for best home decor suggestions? Then your child could possibly possess all the required skills to have a career in interior designing.

Interior designing, as a career, is much more than just picking curtains and placing the right furniture. According to an article in wiseGEEK, “Interior design is a discipline related to architecture that pertains to the layout, construction, and overall appeal of interior spaces such as rooms and offices. Most of the time, interior design work is undertaken by trained specialists who contract with either building managers or owners. It can happen either during initial construction or in the event of a remodel.”

Though designing encompasses many aspects, the job of an interior designer is very different from that of an architect. But, ‘Is there any scope in this career?’, you might wonder. “Earlier, architects would do all the design work, both exteriors and interiors themselves. Of late, people have become more conscious of the design, layout and placement of their interiors, for offices, factories as well as residences. This has opened the door for a large number of professional interior designers,” explains an article in webindia123.

If your child exhibits designing talent, a little people skills and technological knowledge, he can be encouraged to take up interior designing as a career. You can also encourage him to garner his skills through a combination of education and experience.
