Interior decorating is the ability to decorate space within
buildings. Perhaps it is best to say that an interior decorator dresses spaces
such as rooms, halls and corridors, offices and show places. In order to be an
interior decorator, you must have an extensive knowledge of materials, including
building materials, textiles and fabrics and furnishings including antique and
modern furnishings.
Interior decorators decorate homes and commercial
offices, store windows, stores, offices and public spaces. They are highly trained
in schools of design and apprentice programs in colleges and universities.
