Many people just think this is fun and "go into" this without training or anything. Its ridiculous and makes actual interior designers look like we are "playing with colors". Selling a design service...with "no experience"..does a disservice to the industry that should be respected.
I think you'll find that most people don't know what interior designers do, not because of people "going into design without training" but because interior design is a new and changing profession with lots of confusing TV shows showing us doing random things to get high views. Experience and training are two different things. You can get training without being a good designer (look at the millions of people who've studied lame, outdated interior design diploma courses thinking they're awesome interior designers) and you can gain unprecedented experience as well as training working on your own home project (gaining more experience than many university graduates in less time). Design is also an art; many people genuinely have a great eye for design (but that's because they have experience that others don't realise... perhaps they've spent many years designing something similar or working in fashion, etc.) There is no "one-size-fits-all" for training, and many "teachers" are horrendous with little to no experience in the industry themselves, teaching outdated methods because institutions like universities and governments don't allow deviation from their rigid, politicized systems. Education is for all, and everyone should have a chance to enter a career without being forced to fit into preconceived moulds of what an interior designer should be. x
I know how confusing it is. It really depends on a few factors. I have another video and a blog post written about it here: www.idbs.online/whats-the-best-software-for-interior-designers-to-learn/ And if you want a step by step path into interior design, then take the QUIZ here: www.idbs.online/quiz-how-to-become-an-interior-designer/
