Interior designers, because of their skill and training, are the professionals who can create such an environment. They are responsible for creating a design which examines architectural elements and interprets a client's requirements, functional needs and expectations. It combines creativity, technical skill and knowledge of materials, while incorporating technology, monitoring design implementation and adhering to the guidelines of budget.
Interior designers can apply their skills to homes and offices, colleges, hotels and hospitals.
In fact, that's what makes interior design so dynamic-opportunities and projects are diverse and stimulating. In addition to formal courses in furniture history, interior design theory, color, perspective and rendering, periodic field trips to the Merchandise Mart and other Chicago-area sites will further broaden your knowledge of design trends. Those wishing to work in the commercial or contract design field are advised to continue their education and should consult with an advisor. The associate in applied science degree in interior design is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and may be used to meet the interior design education requirement for registration of interior designers in Illinois. The curriculum is intense.
