Professionalism In Interior Design

The interior design profession is much more than selecting colors and fabrics and rearranging furniture. Interior designers draw upon many disciplines to enhance the function, safety, and aesthetics of interior spaces. The professional interior designer is qualified by education, experience and examination to enhance the function and quality of interior spaces. For the purpose of improving the quality of life, increasing productivity and protecting the health, safety and welfare of the public, the professional interior designer:

  • Analyzes the client’s needs, goals and life safety requirements;
  • Integrates findings with knowledge of interior design;
  • Develops and presents final design recommendations through appropriate presentation media;
  • Prepares working drawings and specifications for non-load bearing interior construction, materials, finishes, space planning, furnishings, fixtures and equipment;
  • Collaborates with licensed practitioners who offer professional services in the technical areas of mechanical, electrical and load bearing design as required for regulatory approval;
  • Prepares and administers bids and contract documents as the client’s agent;
  • Reviews and evaluates design solutions during implementation and upon completion.
