The Job Description of an Interior Decorator

Many people believe interior designers and interior decorators are the same. Both decorators and designers create functional and aesthetically pleasing spaces. However, interior designers are licensed in their profession, and their work frequently involves construction and architecture. Interior decorators create beautiful spaces, but they do not make structural or architectural changes. Since interior decorators do not deal with construction, it is not necessary for them to know safety or building codes. Since interior decorators undergo less extensive training than interior designers, there are not as many job opportunities available for decorators.

Job Duties

Interior decorators create functional, yet beautiful, spaces. They decorate homes, shops, offices and other professional environments. Interior decorators work directly with clients, giving them advice on which color schemes, layouts, wallpaper and furniture would be best for a particular space. They may make sketches for their decorating ideas and present cost estimates for clients to approve before beginning projects. Interior decorators are responsible for choosing paint colors, lighting, window coverings, furniture and flooring as well as artwork, pillows, rugs and other accessories. They also organize and supervise the arrangement and installation of furnishings. Working Environment

Interior decorators frequently work with tight deadlines which may require them to work long, irregular hours. They work alongside other professionals in the industry such as general building contractors, architects, plumbers and electricians. Interior decorators work with a variety of spaces which may include large commercial buildings like hotels, banks, airports, restaurants and theaters, according to the MyPursuit career planning website. Some decorators specialize in residential locations or specific rooms such as the kitchen, bedroom or living room. Some specialize in specific themes such as Gothic or Spanish. Others choose to specialize in specific elements of a space, like beautiful fireplaces or water fountains.

Education Requirements

Interior decorators should have a good sense of style, creativity, awareness of the latest fashion trends and the determination to succeed in their field. An interior decorator's training is much less technical than that of an interior designer. There are no formal education requirements to become an interior decorator, nor are there any licensing requirements, according to the All Art Schools website. However, decorators gain an advantage in the job market by taking design classes to further develop their skills. Prospective interior decorators who aspire to run their own businesses might consider taking business classes in preparation. According to MyPursuit, "While postsecondary education is not required, it is advisable to have a degree of some sort, whether it's from a traditional college or university or from an art or design school." Earnings

According to MyPursuit, many factors determine the annual salary of an interior decorator, such as geographic location and area of expertise so the exact amount is difficult to determine. However, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the annual median wage for interior decorators and designers in 2008 was $44,950. Employment Outlook

The typical career path for an interior decorator goes from a decorating assistant to junior interior decorator to interior decorator to business owner. The job outlook for interior decorators is expected to increase almost 20 percent from 2008 to 2018, according to MyPursuit. Corporate organizations offer the most job security for interior decorators, and those with strong portfolios, impressive resumes and established lists of clients will be more successful in their field.
