    An interior design career is an excellent field for a Civil Engineering degree, and many Civil Engineers go on to be successful Interior Designers. Graduates in this field are able to work with clients to develop budgets, based on price, functionality and aesthetics. They may also help plan where the furniture goes in the home (or any other building). And of course they design any necessary fixtures and decor.

    You can become an Interior Designer with formal training in Architecture. Architectural degree holders are highly sought after by interior design firms, and the vast majority of Designers hold degrees in Architecture before moving into a second field such as Art, Photography, or Interior Design.

    Yes. Interior designers typically make up around 45% of the architectural professions in America, the UK, and Germany.
    Designers work together with architects to fulfill clients needs for space planning as well as furnishings and decorations. Often they are also responsible for coming up with design ideas that suit a client's personal style or needs. And while it is possible for an architect without much experience to be hired by a company, most of these architectural firms require at least two years of freelance practice prior to employment in order to gain enough experience before being entrusted with more difficult assignments.
