im just about to graduate high school, and ive been interested in designing homes since i can remember. Im looking to do the same thing Sarah Richardson does, she designs lottery homes, and she has a show on HGTV about building her house, which i want to do someday, build one from scratch. I honestly dont know whats involved to get there, in terms of what to do to get my foot in the door, and education. My family has money for education and ill most likely be going on scholarship for softball, and high marks. Do you know what school/program i have to get in for this, how long it takes, cost, and any other information. Also, do you know how well this industry does in Vancouver, BC?
any information would be great! Thanks!
Well multiple schools offer interior design programs. I too like you wanted to get into the field. But when I spoke to people who have graduated they told me that to actually be hired as an interior designer you have to have YEARS of experience.
My teacher told me that graduates are expected to work at places like home depot (don’t know if you have them there) Its the ones with 15+ years of experience that get the high paying jobs.
Cost depends on the school that you go to. Some community colleges do offer low cost interior design school, but then again you can go to some universities for this. As far as the industry does around your area I’m not sure.
But the best of luck to you! I hope you break the norm!

What courses do i need in high school to be a interior designer?
27.January, 2010
I want to be an interior designer when i get out of school. I am currently in grade nine so I am going to high school i want to know what classes i will need to become an interior designer.
Over the course of your high school years (coming from an aspiring artist myself) I suggest you take Beginners Art (even if you’re already good) eventually Woodshop, and an AP Art class. Anything that uses manual dexterity and gets your brain working creatively!
How to get the vinegar smell out of leather car interiors?
27.January, 2010
I had a glass bottle of vinegar in my car and it combusted recently this winter. that was about a month ago and my car still wreaks like vinegar, I have tried lysol, febreze, regular car cleaning products, and nothing is working help please!
I’ve also tried ozium and I ventilated it when I was driving one day.
You don’t have to try to get it out. Just ventilate the car. Keep the windows open and let wind pass over the area.
The smell of vinegar will dissipate after a few days. I have used gallons of vinegar sprayed in an attic to kill mold and it smelled like vinegar for a week or so and then gradually went away completely.
tips for interior design websites/ideas?
18.January, 2010
well me and my fiance are trying to design our future house, can you please help me in finding websites with good ideas for living rooms and bedrooms??? or even pictures will be good as well
I think you should start with some good basics like sturdy wood cabinets, flooring, etc. When you have a foundation, you can build around it and add your desired paint color and other decor. Here are some picture galleries:

What do interior designers need ?
18.January, 2010
my best friend and i want to be an interior designers and we are both going away for college but to different directions
her birthday is coming soon and i want to get her some stuff she might need.
i thought since we will be far away from each other I’ll get a picture of us and have it framed
but i want to get her something else, so .. what do interior designers need for their 1st year in college ?
For the first year it’s mostly basic design. I would suggest getting your best friend art markers such as these -> http://www.jerrysartarama.com/discount-art-supplies/online/680&Cat_Level=3 The colors will stay vibrant and can be used for basic design and future design displays.
Or buying her a basic swatch kit that can assist in building ideas to incooperate a entire room pallet of colors and patterns -> http://www.amazon.com/Basic-Swatch-Textile-Fabric-Consultants/dp/0967799805/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1207386173&sr=1-1
I just wanna know how to practice as a freelance interior designer. Don’t tell me how to be a qualified interior designer. Thanks. ![]()
So who do you think will give you any money to do any work if you have no qualifications?
What should I wear to impress an interviewer who works with interior house painting company or any other tips.
18.January, 2010
what to wear, how to impress him, how to keep it cool, how to have fun with it…HELP
Dress in your painting whites and be honest about your painting knowledge. The biggest issue for any painting company is honesty about what you can and can’t do. Have an amount of how much you want to make or they will get you for as cheap as they can.

I am an Army Wife and loking into doing parties to sell things such as home interior ,avon, tupperware etc. But what other companies hold parties like that, its hard for me to get a regular job because we move around the world so much, and I thought this would be a good thing to look into.
