Interior Design Blogs

A few weeks ago I posted an article about the world's most loveable "big-kid" designer, Derek "Deek" Diedricksen, whose mini dwellings have captured attention for being at once imaginative and functional. You can explore his structures in his YouTube series, "Tiny Yellow House" and also his book, "Humble Homes Simple Shacks Cozy Cottages Ramshackle Retreats Funky Forts," which we will be reviewing soon, once we have sufficiently pored over it from cover to cover!  After contacting him, Deek very kindly agreed to do an exclusive interview for our blog, which I want to share with you all here.

If you've decided to attend interior design school, then you should spend some time researching the available financial aid for interior design students. The following are options for financial aid:

When choosing which interior designing school to attend, there are a few things you should figure out before applying.

• Program. Does the program offer the interior design courses you would like to take? Does the school employ instructors whose interior design work you respect? Is the program hands-off or hands on?
• Requirements. Do you meet all the requirements of the program?

So you want to be an interior designer and think the best way to get there is by paying your dues and working hard?  Well, there's nothing wrong with that, but how can you get there faster and easier? Accredited interior design programs offer the education and interior design degrees that future employers will be looking for as you apply for jobs. Sure, everyone can work hard and climb the interior design ladder, but why not get there faster with a solid interior design education and foundation?

Do notice your surroundings? Do your friends complement your design sense and ask you for help with their living spaces? If so, you've probably got an eye for spatial relationships and composition, and are sensitive to color. You're on the cutting edge of style -it's time you considered shaping your future with an interior design career.

Prep Yourself with an Interior Design Education

It is important to understand the complete admission requirements for interior design school prior to applying. However, before you even get to the admission requirements for interior design school, remember two things. First, a potential interior designer must have the right personality requirements: creative, artistic, disciplined, and organized. Second, you must research several interior design programs, paying particular attention to program length, faculty, location, costs, and course of study, so that you may find the best fit.
