Interior Decorator

One of the things i would like to do is interior decorating. I have always found it fun and interesting. I think that I would have a lot of fun figuring out how a room will look the best and what colors make everything fit right together.
Interior decoration is a fun but tough job. They work with paint, wallpaper, window coverings, ornaments, art, furniture, flooring, and lighting. You need to be able to see the way colors contrast with others and be able to decide how a room will work best with the lighting and the surroundings.
The earnings that an decorating consultant can vary, depending if you have a flat charge or if it can change with each client.
In general, annual earnings for interior decorators range from about $20,000 to $40,000 a year, although some high end decorators can make as much as $80,000 a year. It also depends on the type of clients that you are dealing with. if your working in a higher established part of a city you would most likely be getting paid more than working with someone who has an average salary.
The education needs for this career can also vary with the type of decorating consultant you want to be.
Decorators usually have at least a high school diploma.Many people enter the field without any formal training in interior decorating. Bachelor’s and associate degree programs in interior design are offered by colleges throughout the US.
The type of education or class to be an interior designer are also variable. The simple amateur decorator will take a class that will teach the basics like
color theory, drawing, and space planning. Many professional decorators or consultants go through a more extensive training learning more than the basics.The usual process of becoming a registered consultant you will need to take the Voluntary certification is available through Certified Interior Decorators International. This association offers the Certified Interior Decorator (CID) designation to qualified decorators. Applicants need to complete an approved program in interior decorating and pass a certification exam.
