What will I have to do to specialize?
Once you have decided on what type of specialty you would prefer, you have to know what it takes to make that happen. Since creativity and interest are not the only requirements you will need to be an Interior Designer, you will also need to know what is needed in order to specialize.
Education is the biggest and most useful tool when you choose to specialize. Being certified in your area of interest is a good place to start. In order to receive your certification, you must learn all of the technical aspects of design as well as the creative. Technical things have a larger range than you might think. Knowledge in any field is a requirement.
Since there is so much work involved, you cannot expect to charge by the hour.
