4 Fine Resources for Interior Designers
July 21, 2015
Interior design might be an art rather than a science, but that does not mean designs spring full-grown from the minds of their designers. Most interior designers understand the need to build on the legacies on their predecessors, examining their creations, extracting the best elements and distilling principles for their own use. As a result, it should come as no surprise to learn that there are numerous resources out there to help burgeoning interior designers come into their own. Here are four such resources:
- As its name suggests, the American Society of Interior Decorators is an organization of people dedicated to advancing the profession of interior design. As such, it can help interested individuals find its chapters, get educated and get informed about the latest topics in interior design.
- In contrast to the ASID, the International Interior Design Association has a more global perspective. However, it too can help people secure the education to get started and continue polishing their skills.
- The Editor At Large is an excellent means for people interested in interior design to get together. It can help people remain informed using its news feature, contact one another through searching the listings, and even help them find jobs. In short, it’s all that its name promises.
- Although its focus lies on architecture rather than interior design, the American Institute of Architects is still important because interior design relies on home design.
