Thinking of Working in Home Decor?
Have you ever seen a beautiful country home and wondered how the owner knew just what colors and styles to employ in the decor?
Or for that matter wished that you could do the same in your own home?
Many of us, who love to decorate, wonder what it would be like to be paid to be a decorator, consultant or interior designer, but few take the next steps. If you’re really serious you’ll want to not only study design, but also the ins and outs of the home decor business.
At the most primitive, an interior designer is a fashion or style consultant for the home. Your job will be to beautify a room or rooms and explain your vision and recommendations. Clients seldom desire to be kept in the dark, they often want to know every detail and the reason behind each decision you make for their homes.

Yes, I am interested but don’t know where to start. I have collected lots of different kinds of furniture and decorations from around the world but never know if I am on the right track as far as what goes with what. I usually go by what I see in displays and in magazines. To me decorating a space would depend not only on the client’s tastes but the shape and lighting of the space itself. I did some housekeeping for awhile and the most common mistake I saw was trying to squeeze too much stuff into too small of an area.
