    Professionals often start with what they specialize in. Additionally, it's important to not only know your trade, but also how it fits into a design. Interior designers are expected to have an understanding of lighting techniques and focal points when designing a room. Beyond the basics, there are various skills that should earmark someone as a professional interior designer including design style awareness, budget awareness and creativity that drives innovation while meeting client needs.

    Interior decorating is not just a profession that one can learn as a course in college, it's also an art. It would depend on what kind of design you want to do...to be at your best when it comes to the work that you do. If you're looking for success a good plan would be to look into courses which will teach one how to develop their own style, regardless of the discipline in which they are working within.
    Curriculum should include: Building and drawing skills from senior high school or earlier; Art/Design subjects from senior high school or earlier; Entry level interior design course (practice starts with sketching only); Developmental courses up through architecture degree (practice starts with rendering only).

    Interior design is a broad field and all it takes to be a professional interior decorator are certain skills.
    One needs to have the right kind of temperament to enjoy creative endeavours, one must have taste (level of discernment for art) which can be acquired via education, one should have an eye for color coordination and know how to make distinct pieces that fit together well-known as "good design principles" such as in architecture. On top of that, they need understanding on composition and spatial comprehension like where furniture should go inside a room or their eye for light - natural or artificial? All this knowledge is acquired through experience.
