From Interior Design Schools
The Interior Design program provides an approach based on the premise that a successful interior designer must be sensitive to both esthetics and practicality, and must be aware of the designer's potential impact upon the total interior environment. Courses dealing with space design, color, lighting structure, furniture design, history of interiors, history of art, business procedures, and other pertinent subjects are all essential to the realization of these expectations.
Interior Design majors may look forward to career opportunities in various sectors, including the industrial, residential, retail, and corporate, and the public and private sectors in general. For example, large department stores, or chains of such stores, employ interior designers in staff positions to deal with all manner of merchandise arrangement and display, including the reorientation of store/floor environments. Interior designers may also establish their own design services and execute commissions ranging from residential room arrangements to restaurant and corporate office design. There are also large corporations that employ staff interior designers to service the adjustment of work environments and of staff relocation. Moreover, architectural firms and independent architects regularly employ interior designers to cope with space planning and other environmental design necessities in structures as diverse as sports stadiums and museums.
In the contemporary world of business, the interior designer, like the graphic designer, plays an integral part in projecting the corporate image to the public. Salaried job opportunities exist in all of these types of business activity and may provide the basis, with increased experience, for individual contracting. The Paier Interior Design graduate will be able to enter supervised roles in these fields and move swiftly to more independent roles if desired.
