Interior Design

From designing a kitchen to working with a team of interior designers, architects, lighting designers and color consultants, the field of interior design is diverse and exciting.

Interior design involves much more than interior decorating or drafting. Interior designers work closely with fellow designers and clients determining needs and requirements,  space planning, designing lighting plans, selecting furniture, equipment layouts, and materials. Interior designers can specialize in such commercial design areas as hotels, resorts, restaurants, or educational institutions.

Designers also create and promote interior applications of paints, woods, plastics, draperies, fabrics, wall coverings, and other materials.

In addition to general core classes, students take classes that introduce an overview of lifestyles, business orientated classes, and classes that deal with technical issues concerning the built environment. Additional design studio courses apply design principles, artistic skills, and professional interior design practices.
