As an interior designer your primary goal is to combine form and function. You improve the quality of interior spaces by increasing efficiency, safety, and beauty through molding, windows, built-in fixtures, furnishings, lighting and accents like wall hangings and different rugs. Colours, styles and materials also need to be coordinated in order to create a space that is both visually pleasing and comfortable.

There are so many projects you can work on ranging from residential homes, shopping malls, hospitals, theatres, restaurants to more specialised areas like airplane interiors or kitchens.

A successful designer has to take many things into account, like the customer’s preferences, cost of materials, and functional efficiency.

Computers are extremely useful to interior designers as they allow for exact and accurate models and also allow for easy adjustments.
