WHICH SCHOOL OFFERS THE BEST INTERIOR DESIGN PROGRAM
This should be required watching BEFORE enrolling in an interior design program! Thanks for taking the time - this was very concisely and well done.
Thanks Lori! I'm so glad you think so. I've been getting similar feedback from high school and other pre-college students regarding that it's helpful in deciding whether to pursue the program. Please feel free to share it with others who are interested. =)
ARTiculations do you have to go to college to be a interior design?
Hi Monae yes most entry level interior design positions require a minimum college or university degree.
lori G ok thank you
please suggest colleges?
who else is about to be a senior and is doing some researches to see what they are gonna study in the future ??
I didn't even finished my school but wanted to know some facts if being interior designer is really my dream
Being an interior designer is really cool, i’m still in highschool and i really find it interesting, however like most jobs, it needs a lot of studying and time.
I’m just thinking if interior designing is worth all the work and if it’ll make me and my family happy in the future
Close I actually became a senior , and I already decided that I'm gonna be an engineer in year ten without even knowing anything about it. And now I'm only learning about it. And so far, it's pretty good.
@@igcseclasses903 good luck, now I'm in my third year studying architectural engineering
@ggo.o9666 thanks man good luck to u too. We're doth gonna future engineers we just need to work hard
As a college professor, I want to commend you on doing an excellent job describing your career. I'm a graphic designer who switched majors from architecture, because I had no idea how technical it could be until I started studying. You provide a lot of the details that potential interior design students will need to consider before enrolling in a study program.
Literally same I moved from interior design to graphic design because I was having a mental breakdown from all these things I needed to know. Took me by surprise
Its good for people to know that interior design is not about moving the couch or placing a picture on a wall
As an architecture graduate, I have people who say to me that 'it must be fun taking architecture, all you guys do are drawing buildings!' They really don't get how technical those drawings could be and how many aspects have to be considered even when it just comes to designing a toilet. One mistake could cost thousands of dollars or worse, building hazard that could cost lives. It was always about following numerous building laws and regulations too. Even different number of building levels will have different regulations to comply, and different types of building will have different regulations too, the list goes on. Construction knowledge, types of concrete framework, steel structure down to the connectors and details as small as 5 mm. It really is a lot of things to fit into. What I mentioned don't even capture the whole field.
So you guys have to do all the brainy work. Lol
When most people think of interior Design they think of the tv shows and picking out pretty curtains but that’s interior decorator. It may sound like there is no difference but there is a big one. Interior decorators just make it look cute and it doesn’t require schooling ( in most cases ). When you are a interior designer you do the work of a decorator + more. You deal with math, codes of conduct, regulations and more. It’s not as easy as it seems on tv but I find it pleasing. It is a great career to go into if you are committed but if you don’t do well with commitments I would stick with interior decorator.
Hope this helped!
how difficult is it to apply those regulations and codes to your design in a practical manner when you're commissioned for work though? I understand now there are a lot more technical aspects to the field but after a generous amount of study is it more of the design work or is it always a sort of tedious balance of constantly checking if things meet qualifications?
@@jordanweaver9658 I was wondering that too!
I’m 14, Before this video I exactly thought that interior designing was just picking very cute things. Good thing I know this now!
MATH?🙀😰
I read math, instantly cut it off from my future career list.
exactly!! hi there! future interior designers. 😊
Hi!
Hey!
Hey
Hi!
Hi, I am going to college to take interior design and I do love it.
I watched this video back in 2017 and chose to pursue interior design because of the blend of technical expertise and creative thinking. I am finally graduating with my master's, and while I am excited to be finished soon, I am also nervous about the limited job applications for entry level designers, especially in the pandemic. Good luck out there!
did you get a job?
please fill us in on what it was like landing your first job
it's less than 5 min but contain all legit information. Well done! :)
Wow this whole time I'd confused interiour desing with interiour decoration
Great video! As an interior designer I am asked this question all the time! I will be sharing this video on my social media platforms. Great job!
You have shed a lot of light on the "PROFESSION" of interior design. I too use to think it was all about just make everything look pretty, but you have torn down the false assumptions of what your profession is all about.
I now have very much respect for the professional talent you designers need to be gifted with.
You'r profession is right up there in the building trades with the architects and construction crews, you did your profession a lot of service in making this video to clarify how your professional services works.
Thank you for this!! Ive been considering interior design as a career for a while. This is very well explained.
Me going to take interior designing course.
*PRESURE PRESURE*
Now I’m second guessing because I’m ass when it comes to geometry, math or any smart stuff
New to lmao
Me too
You can do it- there is less to do with geometry and more to do with understanding ratings and egress ;)
Lmfao LITERALLY like I'm a few years behind in maths.. never learnt geometry bahaha imma have to do alot of studying before enrolling myself into an interior design program lmaooo
Is it really hard? Like does it really have some math thingy?
Thank you for pointing out all the factors besides aesthetics that determine design decisions! There is a huge amount of knowledge you must acquire to be a professional in this field. I hope that you have a good job at a company that appreciates your dedication to the profession!
Thank you so much for sharing this!! You articulated the key components of interior design so thoroughly and succinctly!
Thank you so much,
This is the best video Ive seen on what is an interior designer!
Actually i was looking for product design videos , but this video was so entertaining and you explain everything so eloquently I might purse interior design too
a very informative video for a newbie interior design student like me, thankyou! you go, all designers!
Love your videos. I'm a architectural technician and have tried to argue with many people the value of interior designers and tried to justify their fees. You explain that really succinctly here. Thanks for your great work :)
This video was exactly the knowledge I was looking for! Thank you! I have been interested in knowing what interior design is like, even though yes I was first thinking more about decoration than design, but this provided such a good overview of the field! It was very interesting and I would love to more about the profession. The idea of being able to construct a space from scratch is extremely compelling and I would be very interested to hear more about the process!
Nice video. Thanks for putting out this information, it really helped!!
the people at my school change the degree name to interior architecture. even in my school their a huge bais in how people look at interior designs/architects and alot of that has to do with TV which protrays them as people who just pick paint in a small room. most people dont think the interior designer is the one who designs the interiors of large buildings as well. not to mentiom the huge gender bias.... people will look down at men who are interior designers majors even more.. which of course is silly. Honestly, I learned more about detailing and material transitions from working along with Interiors teams. plus its way more fun (to me). i use to work in a really small interior design office with a man who designed high end hotels. pardon typo... phone is glitching out.
+nicekid76 yeah most of my friends and family still think I just pick out paint colours for someone's living room lol - even though I work in retail design. When I point out shopping malls, boutique stores, department stores (some I've worked on) to them and say "now who do you think did the design of this place?" They go "oh I didn't think about that." And while I'm at it, I try to point out that residential design also isn't a piece of cake either - a residential designer still has to have extensive knowledge in things like woodwork, detailing, space planning and material quality.
And I've actually developed, I think, a pretty good come back for the gendered comments over the years. I just say "if you think creating functional spaces, understanding construction materials and assemblies is something only women can be good at, then...okay? But in my experience the men are just as capable. lol"
Thanks for your feedback btw! Where do you go to school?
>_< ummm I will tell you in like 4-6 weeks. When I can prove you're not a spy from my school. (aka when I graduate)
nicekid76 lol how do I know YOU'RE not a spy from my school. Hehe :P well good luck nonetheless and congrats for making it through school!
Thank you :D
how hard is it to get a job in this field and can you make a decent living within this field?
This is very informative! I am very interested in interior design and are planning on majoring in it in college. I just thought I get to make a room look pretty lol but now I know how much actually goes into it! Thank you!
same
Wow. Didn't realize that there's more about interior designing. Thank you for educating me. Because here in my country, common knowledge says that its all about making a house or an establishment beautiful, hip, modern and updated. Learned a lot.
I really think of studyin interior design but didn't know we would know this much information after we graduate!
this is helpful thank you
Im having a C1 English exam tomorrow and one of the topics on the speaking test is interior design and i had no idea what it actually was but with the help of your video now i think i will be able to talk about it at least in a few sentences :)
This is such a great video!
I am currently a student of interior design and at times I've found it challenging explaining what it is I'm studying.
Very well articulated ❌⭕️
Thanks! =) You can send them this video now when they just don't get it haha :P
Thanks!
hi! im a 16 year old student and i have always said that i was interested in architecture more so than interior design. i was just looking into architecture in depth when i noticed that something was off and that, that wasn't what i had imagined all this time. all of a sudden i felt the need to research interior design despite my past doubts and your video just showed me that interior design is in fact EXACTLY what i had in mind for my future. Turns out i was confusing design with decorating. Thank you so much for this!
No problem! Glad I could help! =)
That was so informative. Thanks so much 😘
Excellently communicated! Thank you for articulating the real deal as there is a big lack of education in the public view of Interior Designer's roles. Very well done!!!
Thank you for putting this video out! I’m considering a career change and this was very helpful!
I still don't know what course I should take.. I Might Take Interior design, But I doubt That I'll Do well. The things you said made me more interested in stuff but at the same time it feels overwhelming. Thank You For Explaining Tho!
I’m 12 years old and I found this video because I was looking to go down the interior designing path! This video was so helpful to know what I looking at for my future. That is a lot more than I expecting in interior designing but honestly, I’m up for the challenge! Thank you for making this video, it really helped me.
I’m so glad this was helpful Emma!! Best of luck in your schooling and career!!
Thank you for making this video!
Very laconicly and clearly presented
Very impressive explanation.
Excellent, excellent video!! Thank you for sharing!!
I have never heard this side of interior design, thank you for enlightening me!!
I love interior design. And appreciate those who do this design work the way foodies love chefs.
I love that when I grow up I want to be an
interior designer
I m small right now but my dream is to become an interior home designer
So this video helps me
Thx for making it
This was really interesting! I didn't know anything about the practicalities of interior design before watching this, and now I have a lot more respect for how much work goes into it.
+myrmidryad thank you so much :)
Thanks for d video. Am currently doing a certificate course in interior design. Ur video is very helpful.
Awesome video! I never really thought about just how much can go into interior design in addition to aesthetic considerations
+QHat Thanks! Good to know I managed to communicate that effectively =D
Thanks alote, i'm about fo graduate from high school in 1 and half months and i was so so so confused to take interior designing . You confessed me to enter it , THANK U !
One of my options is interior designing , my school is specifically for future engineers and architects so I'm learning alot .
This is such a great video! I also thought interior designers dealt only with aesthetics it's great to see such an interdisciplinary field. Have you ever worked on designs for a museum and if so, how much did Universal Design factor into your plans? -Omar
+KnowledgeableReaction I worked on the schematic design of a Heritage museum once, but I mostly do work in retail design like shops, malls and coffee shops. Universal design is a legal requirement now in almost all commercial occupancies in US and Canada. For instance in Ontario, we have to abide by the requirements of AODA (Accessibly for Ontarians With Disability Act) where ever it applies. This means when I am designing a store, I have to factor in things like leaving adequate aisle clearances, turning circles, putting in ramps, slopes and guards where needed, specifying door hardware that can be operated with a closed fist, mounting wall projections at the appropriate height, and many other considerations depending on the situation.
Well That makes sense. Glad to know UD doesn't just apply to museums. What's the aspect of your job that you've had the most trouble with?
+KnowledgeableReaction haha there are many troubles it is hard to think of just one, but if I had to pick - It would be trying to present the idea of good design to clients and the general public. Some people don't value what designers do, don't know why it takes us so long to do our work, or why it costs so much to produce a design. Of course in a way - there are misunderstandings of almost every industry and it's up to those of us who do the work to advocate for ourselves. I guess those are some of the reasons that compelled me to make this video haha :P
I want to be an interior designer someday, and im currently at 11th grade. This video really helped me pursue more interior design in the future and im feeling excited about it so thank you very much! ❤
Hii! Spending my 300 seconds on this video was really worth it... I request u to post a similar video describing what exactly architects do.
Thank you so much for this video , very informative for a budding interior designer like me !! , no one speaks about the technical terms , but you have explained it clearly ty so much , expecting more videos related to interior designing
Thank you! And yes, there will be more =)
We also need to consider designing for sustainability, a huge factor in our design at this day and age. Kind of surprised this got left out or was not emphasized enough. But great video and everything is spot on! :)
Great video - thank you for sharing!
This was very accurate...wish i saw this before spending 2yrs in uni.
Do u regret it? Should I go to college for this ?
@@fatimawahid9963 as an Interior Designer/ (IA) Interior Architect-which is what I am, Yes you need to go to University. Honestly, I wanted to be an interior stylist and the IA degree was very much what this video is about. But after completing my studies, I do enjoy it, it's just not what I thought it would be when I decided to start. I have done 2 other degrees, this uni study was very demanding.
Nice.... I will enjoy this....
Great video
you are funny. I love your channel. discovered it last night.
Hehe thanks! And welcome! :D
Great video, very comprehensive.
I'm in 8th grade and I'm very interested in this career but then I hope I would be good at the math part soon and I like designing and baking and fashion design drawing
Very nicely explained.
And yup it's true ppl look down to this job saying what's d big deal...and what you guys do...I HV been in this field since 13 years....and it's really annoying sometimes to be on recieving end of such comments.
In my country this happens due to many factors...first ...lack of knowledge about this profession and other...every vendor ..be it a carpenter...civil...or shops selling tiles...n other material....write their name boards as interior decorator !!
this may sound dumb but I also wanted to know can Sims help you in some way with interior design😂😂
Haha not a dumb question at all. I would say it could help in getting someone to become interested in design and architecture. If they really like building houses and stuff in the sims. But it won't really help in teaching you how to do it haha since it's just placing pre-made blocks. To actually learn it you would have to study construction methods, building codes, standard practices and stuff. And of course, make sure you are not confusing an interest in decorating with design, as mentioned in some of my previous comment replies.
ARTiculations true!
Faith Kutten Thats what i was thinking because this is my main reason for playing The Sims😂
Jasmine lov right😂😂
Faith Kutten that's what I'm using right now so I can get Die of up moving the same items can affect the vibe
Me as an inspiring interior designer watching this video and basically knowing nothing about interior design: 👁️👄👁️❓ lmfaooo i did not know this much went into interior design!
I really like the idea of designing and creating something with a broad range of imagination, but at the same time it seems so daunting because of all the information you need to know.
And is there any need to worry that you won't be able to design what/where you want, or will you have to pick out what's on the market. Because seeing a lot of big and modern things don't really excite me(in the creative field) as much as thinking of how to create small spaces with compact living( such as housing, compared to big populated spaces).
Home is where we spend the majority of our should feel and look like is a professional interior design did an amazing job on my second time using them.
Starting my university on August! Interior designer to be wish me luck and thank you for the useful informations! 💜
+Ash Nizer amazing! Congrats for getting in your program! Best of luck :)))
All I can say is WOW. I'm doing research for my book. My main character is a interrior designer...I will be doing alot of reading to get a better understanding of this profession. Thanks for the video.👍
So cool! I wanna read it!
Hello this video helped me a lot. I am a graduate of bachelor in education major in english and currently I just realized that I really want to become an interior designer. I am planning to take a course in line with it to pursue my real passion in life!
Thank you for this concise yet great video! I study Museology and I've decided to also pursue the long time dream of studying interior design (both connect in several aspects). I'm still deciding on the school, though. I've been wondering, I know it's probably a stupid question, but it's still not completely clear to me: what are the biggest differences between an architect and and interior designer? I guess they are complementary, along with engineers; an architect can focus on interior design, but I have this idea that an interior designer is like an "incomplete architect", perhaps it's just fear of not becoming competent enough. I'm interested in all the aspects you mentioned, and there are many things in Architecture that don't interest me at all.
Thank you for the information! I was going to be an interior designer bc I thought I could do it. I might need to think bc I’m choosing GCSEs soon😊
thx for the vid!
Yes I want to try
Thank you 💛
thank you💙
THank you for the synthetic and yet coherent video about interior design. I am interested in the field and would like to study it. since I am quite limited in mobility at the moment, I don't want this to stop me to study. do you have references which I could study online and that would be somehow affordable to begin with? thank you so much!
amazing video!
+Shawna Paterson thanks! Glad another fellow interior designer enjoyed this :)
I'm a second year Interior designer student and I've been looking into the NCIDQ certification. It's not required to work as an interior designer. Most states only require a bachelor's degree in interior design.
awesome video! quick question, I'm studying industrial design, could I use my major to work in interior design? I know I'll still need to pass a test to be an accredited interior designer.
Is it difficult to get a interior design job right out of college?
I am a real estate agent and must ensure universal design that meets the needs of all was one of the most helpful people I have worke
Great channel! thanks for sharing! I recognize you from rsid! you graduated the year before I did! I think you were friends with Sally!
+Natalie M haha yes! Thanks for watching :) how are thing going with you since graduation?!
After going through all your courses are you introduced to any program that specifies in interior architecture?
Can you suggest some Interior Designing books? Also which college did you study in?
love the video
Hi, I’m studying interior design and I have no idea how to invest my time that I could evolve and start to work with real projects.
Veeeeeeeery informative video. I always been a fan of feng shui and rearranging furniture to maximize "efficiency". Anywho i think interior design maybe a path for me. Whats the best way to get started and do you feel you get to express your "style" in this field of work?
hi! I loved this video, it was so helpful. I was just wondering the difference between interior design and interior architecture
Hi Rachael. There is essentially no difference between the two terms and they mean the same thing. "Interior Architecture" is probably more of an accurate term to describe what we do, but it is for some reason less commonly used in the industry - probably because most professional associations still use the term "interior design."
I hope you respond to this. I’m a senior in high school, I’m interested in doing interior design and wanted to know if college will benefit me outside of it as a career. Is it hard to find interior designer positions?
You got me on the university 😀
Big difference between putting together premade interior items in your home vs ensuring comercial and public spaces are usable and safe
I love to design buildings ( in games of course I'm 15), at first it was just the inside and how it looked, so I searched up the difference between Interior decorator and Interior designer, I switched to decorator but then I started to do Technical drawing, with Auto Cad and I liked it and I like Industrial techniques ( these subjects might be named different in other countries) so now I'm back to Interior Designing, I would like to go to a school with an Interior design course in Korea but I don't know which college offers that ( can someone make any suggestions) and I'm still confused on the subjects needed and how many years in school
I love you video, I am 43 and I always want to be Interior designer now that my kid's are in college,I want to go back to school and persuade my passion but, I some point I think is to late, what's your opinion, thank you.
Very good
Oh... so what I want to do is actually INTERIOR DECORATION! Thank you
Thanks!!!😉
THANK U❤
I want to do interior design next year in college, your video did help me, but I'm still confused with the difference between interior design and interior decorating. I feel like i dont even know interior design actually is lol
I completely agree with the innovating scopes of Interior Design. Traditionally we honestly thought of them a professions that focus on artistic qualities of smallest details to the macro details of interior spaces where some of macro details have overlap with architecture at a limited scale of projects only. We previously thought of them as specialization of architecture in interior elements as it is within the architecture industry and now a separate field due to growing complexity. When a project exceeds scales, an interior designer should have full authority to design those scopes. Interior design course has to integrate all necessary tools of sciences to improve their products. However As an architect I disagree on some claims that Architecture doesn’t cover things like, safety, codes , sprinkler systems, circulations and all other technical and scientific scopes of designs of interior elements which is housed under architectural structures. I think interior Design misrepresented in much more inferior expectation the architecture more than Architects see Interior Design as innovating and equating to architecture in terms of capability while specializing in interior elements. Architects have in fairness plenty much heavier trainings of sciences, systems, physics, engineering,automation and technology planning and mathematics with at least training of calculations to support these claims of scope of this video, like sound acoustics, lightings, structures, strength of materials and properties ,safety, accessibility, statistics, circulations, programing, hvac , thermal comfort issues, hvac, building economics and many many more associated for the improvement of architectural structures and very unfair for us who have supported with these much intensive prerequisites to fully exclude us from the equation and represented like no background on these areas. It displaces the position of architecture by definition as art and science of designing and construction of building where art, sciences and a grasp of engineering are prerequisites to comply these technical claims of capabilities and that separates architecture from all other fields. We are only talking at the scientific sides of practice of both architects and Interior designers. Take note that the whole architecture structure with substantial scale than interiors needs these all sciences more and more than the interior elements alone. Please check architects curriculum so you could have the window of their capabilities. I am not referring to the Interior physical scopes, and that is yours. Interior design was known as art of designing interior spaces, surprisingly innovating and now recognized by Architects as with equal capabilities but only focus in interior spaces.Let as be reminded that architects can practice few scopes of interior design at a limited area same thing as interior designers allowed to do exterior and envelope systems at a limited scales of structures because both have basics of few overlapping coverage of studies and trainings. And sciences and technical aspects this video explained is common to both profession. My disagreement is referring to coverage of studies like those technical aspects of safety, circulation space planning which now includes statistics in programming that caused us countless sleepless nights in training seems so unfair excluding architects of the coverage. after all, Architects are still In Charge of the holistic organizations of the architecture elements which includes systems and interiors that therefore both should collaborate in terms of decisions to create a harmonized exterior and interior output. And its very welcoming to know that interior Designers are now equipped with technical capabilities to improve more the interior spaces.
Is it possible to take a one month course for specialistic training for interior designerbamd find a job? I mean without architecture degree?
im a management student pursing BMS degree . im very interested in this field so can i do both the degrees together?
