Students can earn diplomas and degrees in interior design from a design school or technical college, such as a Bachelor of Design (Interior Design) degree from TAFE NSW.

  • You study planning, supplying and furnishing commercial and home interior spaces.
  • Additionally, students learn the subtleties of interior lighting, acoustics, colour coordination and integrating systems.
  • Students at an interior design school also learn design technologies, such as computer application drafting and how to do graphic design.
  • That’s not all though. Interior design also covers textiles and textile finishing.
  • There is also the history of interior design and the different period styles.

Interior design students should normally be creative, energized and curious. Interior design is a creative career with many possible paths. Your goal as a professional is to transform plain areas into functional and, hopefully, beautiful spaces that meet the specifications of clients.

After you’ve got your interior design college degree, you need to choose whether to work for yourself or a design firm. If you’re only just starting in the workforce, you likely will need the resources and experience an established design firm can offer. Starting your own business or consultancy may be a future option.
