Interior design involves more than knowing the right throw pillows to liven up a living room. While aesthetics are at the base of this career, interior designers also have to consider functionality, budgeting and building codes along with the whims and tastes of their clients.
Good interior designers have a wide array of skills, from the ability to draw to mastery of AutoCAD to simply listening well. This is a competitive field where multi-taskers who have a knack for getting the most out of a space can thrive.
