Marketing my interior design business to Contractors?
I am an interior designer who would like to specialize in helping contractors design new homes (presold or spec). I currently work for a design center that offers cabinets, carpet, tile, hardood & slab countertops. I feel that I could be a single source for a contractor to go to for design help (since a lot of them don’t want to deal with this end of it). I could also select paint colors, appliances, lighting & plumbing fixtures.
I would love any ideas on how to market contractors!
Good Idea, Erika!
My late mother really broke into that market when she did a "Street of Dreams" home. This is where high end contractors build a number of spec homes and dress them to the hilt. They get more "lookers" and therefore, future contracts. Mom got a great deal of exposure, too and formed a relationship with that builder that lasted a lifetime.
Check with any/all building contractor organizations in the area, or large Realtors or perhaps even Building Supply centers. I believe the one she was involved with, was arranged through a large Realtor, who owned a large plot they were subdividing… The Street of Dreams was at the front and the rest of the lots were "for sale".
Does anyone know good website for interior design ideas?

Nate Berkus is awesome. Try searching his name or looking for his work on Oprah.com
He has so many great ideas. Also, look for O at Home magazine. Great ideas that aren’t expensive!
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 Santa Monica, so I am down the street from Los Angeles. 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 Los Angeles City area. Thanks!
I have been researching this too. I am about to graduate with a degree in something more general, so my options are a little bit limited compared to yours. However, I have found the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM), California State University, Long Beach (CSULB), California State University, Northridge (CSUN), Woodbury University, and Santa Monica College. These programs all look like they are worth finding out more information. Right now, I’m leaning toward choosing FIDM, but I’m still unsure.
Please, let me know which program you end up choosing and why. It will really help me in my own search. You can email me.
How successful would i be at interior design?
I am going to be starting college this fall, and im some what interested in interior design. How successful of a career would i have with the states of things right now. Is that a prominate field to go into right now?
Interior design is a career that seems like a good idea at the time but when you start seeing the creativity of all of the other people, unless you are confident with your talent, second guessing is the next feeling that you will experience.
I went to a fine arts college and saw very few people go into certain fields that use to be booming. Interior design was one of them because the academic advisor kept the students focused on home and garden design. When one of the students graduated, I felt sorry for her but she did look past what her counselor was saying a got a job in a major department store decorating windows.
If you see how far interior design can go or if you can incorporate something else with it to make yourself more marketable than the average student then it would be great for you.
What type of companies or industries service interior designers & the interior design industry?
For example: Custom Interior Fabricators, textile fabricators..
Also, what keywords would those in the interior design industry use to find these companies online.
These links may help you get an idea. As a designer, I would not think to look up either of your examples. A fabric showroom would use textile fabricators or textile mills. Most often we rely on referrals for service professionals.

I want to do a Masters in Interior Design in Italy and I found 2 schools Florence Design Academy and?
Accademia Italiana in Florence, can anyone tell me which is better? Also are there any better schools in Europe for a Masters Degree in interior design?
In my opinion the FDA is a good choice. Additionally the teaching is in english. This is not usual in Italy. If you are an international student this is perfect.
Also the italian and florentine culture can influence you positivly, especially for the incredible interior architecture in Florence.

Interior design?
what opportunities does a 30year old person with a BFA degree of interior design have? I will be transfer to University next semester. Since i have majored in this subject i know i need to get some experience in this industry while i am in school, however it was so hard to find a part-time job in this industry. what jobs are relate to interior design??
There are lots of opportunities in this field, you just need to be very passionate about it and have to be the best in your field.
I’d suggest searching thru job sites such as monster.com, careerbuilder.com as well as the classifieds sections of craigslist for possible internship or career opportunities. It’s also always good to have lots of contacts in your industry, be as outgoing as possible and network while you are still in university!
