Wanting a nice home interior to live in, workspace to be productive in or public space to engage with is a requirement that won’t simply ‘go out of style’. Our interior environment has an enormous impact on how we feel, and is actually something that people are more than willing to pay for. Interior design has an increasing importance in society for its impact on our wellbeing and how we experience a places and spaces we spend time in. If you are in interior design or looking into it as a career, you might find yourself wondering what makes it a viable career option, and just how it can help or benefit you.

It’s a fantastic creative outlet with a lot of diversity If you are a creative person, one of the best things about interior design is that it offers a myriad of chances for you to exert this creativity every day. You will have a hand in how rooms, spaces or sets will look, from someone’s bedroom or front room to an office environment or a restaurant. You can help to bring a space to life with creative solutions and get to enjoy the fact that no two days – or brief – is the same. With such varying scopes and individual variety, you will get to sink your teeth into interesting project after interesting project, without having to worry about getting bored as every new client or project comes with new requirements and challenges. It’s not limited to a single field Whether you are more interested in bold or minimal interiors, residential design, landscape design, or functional workspaces, you can make the job what you want of it. You aren’t restricted and can instead broaden your horizons to work on what you are really interested in. Once you have been in the field for a while you will know what you are better at and what you enjoy the most so you can specialise or broaden your horizons when it suits you. This will enable you to apply for and choose the roles that are better suited for you and your skills specifically. It’s a job that will always be needed Unlike some jobs that might lose demand or are vulnerable to being taken over by technologies or societal trends, interior designers will always be required. Nothing can replicate the human interaction and intuition needed take in a space and find out what the client wants and desires before turning a vision into a reality. Your aptitude for design along with your ability for liaising with stakeholders and sourcing the best objects, fabrics, and items will always be essential to designing an outstanding interior that fits the brief. As your knowledge and skills grow over time, this will only become more sought after. Interior design is one of those careers that offer real longevity and adds value to many aspects of society, both in terms of the business world and the personal one. These are just a few reasons why an interior design career is a valuable one.
