where to start when going for an interior design career?
I’ve done some research but I got a little confused with all the different certifications, and degrees there are for interior design or home staging careers. I don’t know wich will be best to go for. Can anybody tell me what will be the best thing to do to start a career in any of these two fields and be able to get great oportunities once done with education?
I guess you should start doing make over services to get experience and after that, it is a time to applying on some company that hiring interior design jobs and get big salary.
What is the traditional interior design for a home built 1920?
I’d like to know what was typical in interior design for a home in this period. I’m buying a cottage style home built in 1920, and I’d love to integrate some of the traditional style with my contemporary taste. What was popular in color, line, etc? Any suggestions for websites that I can check out would be so appreciated =) Thanks!
Here are a few links to give you visuals.
Design would be significant to the area and local resources. …For instance if there was a rock quarry nearby you would see stone walks. 1920 was the onset of the "Honeymoon Cottage" in the beach communities. You will find heavily influenced "Edwardian Period" and the beginnings of "Art Deco". Egyptian and oriental influences were common. Black and reds were used in coloring and Bright green, jade, turquoise, eau-de-nil, mint or peacock blue or deep blue, are all really gorgeous colors of the time, and contrast nicely with a pale grey. The Arts and Crafts era post WW1 was in swing. Or you can replicate the highly sought after Gustav Stickley homes. The rich had Greene and Greene, Frank Lloyd Wright and others as their Arts & Crafts-style architects. The poorer folk built Sears and Aladdin "kit" homes.

What are the best colleges in the country for interior design?
I am a junior in high school and I am interested in pursuing interior design. I live in New York, so I am close to New York City. I am curious as to what the most prestigious colleges are for interior design in the U.S. but I am most interested in the New York City area. Thanks!

What are the exercises for entrance exam in Interior Design?
I want to study interior design as a BA, but most art and design institutes ask the candidates to do those practical exercises as part of their entrance exam.
1. What are you suppose to do in them?
2. Do I need to be very skilled in sketching or is a simple training good enough?
Many thanks in advance!
In addition to what the first person said, you may want to practice doing some journal entries where you observe your surroundings and write what you see. While my school did not require a portfolio or entrance exam until after the first year in the program (we were cut from 80 students to 40 students after taking a year’s worth of classes), our portfolio required us to have journal entries where we just wrote about design in everyday life. I would imagine that on an exam they may do something like show you a picture of a building or other enttity and ask you to write about the it and the emotions that it evokes. I’m not talking about sappy writing or saying "the building made me happy", but just things like, "they way the two roof lines merged together asymmetrically further emphasized the energy the architect was trying to create, and that was continued by the activity inside". Some type of BS like that. I would basically make sure your ability to draw, your sense of scale, and your writing ability are tops before entering an exam.
