Program Description
Some courses are only available online.
Interior decorators can work part-time or full-time. You will gain satisfaction by making your creative vision into a reality. You can help businesses, homeowners and apartment renters to beautify their spaces or you can exercise your creativity by working on specialty projects like yachts, bed and breakfasts and day spas.
A trained interior decorator can also work as part of a bigger design team in areas such as architect's offices, interior design offices, engineering offices, property management offices, retailers, boutique stores, restaurants, art galleries and museums, hotels, condominium corporations, model homes and home builder's décor studios.
Students currently enrolled in this program are invited to apply for student membership in the Decorator & Designers Association. Graduates of the program are invited to apply for accredited membership on the Decorator & Designers Association website.
