Mr. Kate, In my high school design and fabrication class, my teacher always encourages me and tells me I’m very talented in the course. For one project we had to design a floor plan for a house as an architect and I took my floor plan to another level by adding furniture and designing the interior of the entire house, which wasn’t required, and my teacher presented me with the idea of me becoming an interior designer, which I thought was a pretty cool idea but never thought too much about it. a few months later I found your channel and now I genuinely am considering going in the direction of interior design/decorating as a career and I owe it to my teacher, and to you and Joey, thank you for that!!!

As someone who went to school for Interior Architecture sometimes it is really frustrating when people assume they can be an interior designer without much work. While some people do have a natural knack for it, most firms now won't hire someone without a degree unless they have at least a decade of proven experience and an extremely strong portfolio. For example, if Mr. Kate were to apply to a firm, I'm sure she would get the job because she has a thorough self-taught knowledge on the topic and a strong portfolio, but that doesn't mean you can just wake up one day and be a designer. Not to sound totally horrible, but there are a lot of people who have been studying design for years and years and it's frustrating when people assume all it entails is picking out paint colours and cute furniture. There is a lot that goes into designing a room; budgeting, an understanding of the history of design, art movements, architecture, etc, material study, room layouts, ADA, safety and fire codes, HVAC, basic to advanced construction, plans, RCPs, schedules, orders, etc. To anyone thinking of studying interior design or architecture, do it! But just remember that it is a lot more difficult to get residential design jobs than commercial or hospitality. Also, when studying, it's not all about what is trendy now. Most designs in school and after probably won't incorporate anything from West Elm's catalog or an unlimited or even high budget. Being an interior designer is usually much more boring than Mr. Kate's life seems to be.

As someone in their Masters for Interior Design. It used to bug me but it no longer does. I guess I just feel bad that people think it's easy and it's not. Its a long road with a long education to be an Interior Designer. Interior Decorator though. I believe a lot of colleges offer 1 year programs.

As someone who is getting a 4 year degree in Interior Design, I would just like to say that this is how you would become an Interior Decorator. Designers work with floorplans and codes and have to get accredited by the state they work in, while a decorator gets to pick out pillows and paint colors.
@MilitaryTVgirl

Ok folks... Two things you need to understand. Interior Design and Interior Decorating are TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THINGS! To be an interior DECORATOR, you only need GOOD TASTE. No upper-education or certification. To be an Interior Designer (think Interior Architect) you need at least a 2 year degree or certificate in the field of Interior Design. Then you may join ASID (American Society of Interior Designers) and NKBA (National Kitchen and Bath Association) and receive your membership number. Both of which require a degree or certificate. But what does an interior designer learn? We have to know AutoCAD (that's the software program that Architects use to design houses.) We have to learn City and County building codes, Plumbing, Electrical, Mechanical, types of lighting/bulb output, wall placement, Space Planning (That's NOT where furniture goes... it's where things like doors, windows, appliances, lighting are placed. Ever seen someone place an oven in an island across from the fridge and you can't open both at the same time or they will hit each other? How about someone putting the dishwasher to the left of the sink, but you're right-handed and needed it on the right side of the sink?) We use other software today, like Chief Architect Premier, to get exact measurement of your home, enter then into the software and create new layouts, appliance placement, correct lighting over your "workspace." We also can use the same software to put in exact cabinets that actually exist (there is a manufacturer catalog that comes with the software). So if I'm designing your bathroom, in the software I can design a new layout, and even put in that freestanding Kohler tub you've been drooling over. So you see exactly what your renovation will look like. I can put actual tiles in your design that currently exist for purchase. So you see the renderings and get to visualize what it will look like when it's complete. But that's NOT the main purpose for our existence. After I've created a design that you like, I have to create construction documents (previously in AutoCAD but now can be done in Chief Architect). Those huge construction documents are also architectural plans. That tells the general contractor exactly where the sink goes, right down to a 16th of an inch! It tells the plumber where to put the plumbing, and exactly what showerhead I've chosen, and what is required for that finish. I have an "electrical plan" (Reflected ceiling plan) that tells the contractor exactly where to place that light, or "elevations" showing exactly where to put the electrical outlets. If they are in your kitchen, I will need to specify the GFCI outlets that will trip the breaker if water gets in them. Regular outlets would short out. Folks, there is a gigantic difference between an interior designer and an interior decorator. Who do you really want designing that very expensive renovation?

I'm studying Interior Design. The difference is that we will take the ASID board exam to get certified. Once we have those permits we allowed to eliminate or add non-bearing (non structural) walls, stairs, add mezzanines ECT. If a client is feeling unhappy with their house, let's say there's a wall in between the kitchen and the dining room that they hate for it might make their place crowded, and interior decorator will use techniques such as shapes, texture and color to make the wall seem lighter to eliminate that crowded feeling. (ex. paint it white) On the other hand, an Interior Designer has the permits to demolish the wall and give the client and open concept kitchen. Both are very beautiful is just that one is more involved than the other. Also Interior Designers are responsible for those cool and weird shapes that extrude off ceilings or walls in most commercial design. As an interior Designer you may specialize in residential, commercial, hospitality or all 3. Hope this helped a lil more. We also overview how the construction project is going. we work alongside architects and contractors as the voice of our clients and make sure everything is how it was planned.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS! The reason I started mentoring interior designers to start their own businesses by using their own experience is because the existing industry is so secretive and makes the job look cryptic when it really isn't! Pretty much EVERYWHERE around the world (except for some states in the USA) you do not need a license to call yourself an interior designer and the title interior designer is not protected such as that of engineer or architect. Yes if you want to work on commercial interiors I would suggest getting a formal degree, however, they will still require YEARS of practical work experience which can be gained by working on domestic interiors (and for yourself rather than very low wages for someone else)! Love your show, good for you!

I really wanted to thank you Mr. Kate for actually talking about Interior Designers vs. Interior Decorators and the exams registered Designers take. I'm in my final year of an accredited university so I can take the first part of my exam next summer and I just subscribed to your channel. So many people think that Designers and Decorators are the same and it can be really discouraging when someone thinks all we can do is pick paint colours and furniture when in reality we do so much more. I've noticed a lot of people who run channels on KZitem who do more of the decorating side of the spectrum will call it "interior design" rather than "interior decorating" and that just perpetuates those misconceptions. Again, thank you for actually addressing everything in such a clear way with the whole spectrum of our profession. Much love!

Here are some tips for those of you considering the field of Interior Decorating/Design: First thing first- If you're going into this field know the difference between an Interior DESIGNER and an Interior DECORATOR. You cannot call yourself an Interior Designer without accreditation, in certain States/Provinces you can be fined for this. Second- you'll never do mood boards for clients if you're professional- you may get the odd client ask for one, but don't go into a meeting with a mood board unless you're in school and or presenting to a large group...It's all about renderings- get to know AUTOCAD or Sketchup Pro. Know your stuff! I worked for five years in a paint store selling paint, stain, wallpaper, furniture, blinds, fabric, custom drapery etc...It has elevated my ability to give sound advice, and clients respect that and seek me out because of that. I also worked for a year in a high-end tile store, designing bathrooms and kitchens with other designers and retail clients. This taught me a lot about harder textiles- including tile application, trims (Schluter) and what looks good together and what doesn't. It's also super beneficial to have a customer service background. It will only help your career. I find that's where people lack skills, not in design aesthetic, but knowing how to handle clients-specially difficult ones- and build a rapport with your clients. Learn building codes, and how to read blueprints. Also, I see a lot of Designers/Decorators with really bad math skills- learn how to calculate sqft and how to take measurements. I also find knowing how to calculate yardage required for fabric projects and wallpaper a helpful tool. Its made things easier for me. You're never going to graduate and be a full-on Designer/Decorator right out of the gate, so you might as well work part-time in a place where you're going to learn practical skills that will only help you in your career. Look at local decorating stores like paint stores, window covering stores, furniture etc. I also worked in Film as a set decorator, it wasn't glamorous at all- and the days were very long- I wouldn't recommend this path unless you're okay with being married to your career. I'm 31 now and I spend my entire twenties educating myself and setting myself up for a successful career by continuing with my education even after graduation. Only now am I able to finally work full time (comfortably) as a designer- which is rare in my city. Those of you looking to start upon graduating, try and get into work with a big builder/contractor company. Oh! And Network, network, network! Best of luck XOXO

I'm sure someone else said this already, but your definition of interior designer vs. decorator is absolutely incorrect. An interior designer has education, accreditation and a thorough knowledge of legal building codes in the state in which they practice. An interior decorator does not require an education. Both are great but it's like a nurse and a doctor, if you are a nurse you shouldn't call yourself a doctor.

I'm currently enrolled in a bachelor of interior design program in Canada.

Interior decorating on the other hand is a term that can be used more openly to express what you are doing.

Let me start by saying that I love Mr. Kate and the work that she does, along with her team. However, she IS NOT a designer. There is nothing wrong with the decorator, but there is a difference. As defined by the NCIDQ: "Interior design is a multi-faceted profession in which creative and technical solutions are applied within a structure to achieve a built interior environment. These solutions are functional, enhance the quality of life and culture of the occupants and are aesthetically attractive. Designs are created in response to and coordinated with the building shell and acknowledge the physical location and social context of the project. Designs must adhere to code and regulatory requirements, and encourage the principles of environmental sustainability. The interior design process follows a systematic and coordinated methodology, including research, analysis and integration of knowledge into the creative process, whereby the needs and resources of the client are satisfied to produce an interior space that fulfills the project goals. Interior design includes a scope of services performed by a professional design practitioner, qualified by means of education, experience and examination, to protect and enhance the health, life safety and welfare of the public..." My colleagues and I work INCREDIBLY hard to distinguish ourselves from decorators because there is a difference in our skill set, clientele, projects we will take on, and especially our education. Due to the fact that we are certified, we are held liable for any issues that may endanger the inhabitants of that space. Therefore, we go through a 4-year degree program and 2 years learning under a licensed professional before taking the NCIDQ certification examination. Decorators do not need formal education, but may obtain an associate's degree.

It's important to differentiate between designer and decorator and Mr. Kate is a decorator. Even if a person is really good at debating doesn't make them a lawyer. There's a reason there are laws in place in a lot of areas that prevent people from using the title "Designer" if they aren't educated and licensed. It's not snobbery - it's safety. Designers can create construction drawings, know building codes and keep interiors safe. What Mr. Kate does is decorate. She's a great decorator, too. But not a designer, and I don't understand why, if she knew that, she still chose to title herself that way. And before you say "what do you care?" look through the comments - look at how many people are taking this advice to heart and are looking to enter the industry the same way. When you have such a huge following you have a responsibility to research your content.

I'm in the second year of interior design and let me tell you is so fucking hard, I got no social life. Is like architecture just without deep mathematics in a more artistic approach. Before I joined this career I thought it was easier, more laidback but i was so wrong is not easy in fact challenging cause is so hands on it that u need to actually do all ur ideas material so fucking hard and time consuming hahahahahaa

Legally she can only call herself an Interior Decorator. Legally you need a license and degree in Interior Designing to call yourself an Interior Designer. However, that doesn't mean you cant be self taught about things , have a natural talent and become a professional. In her case that's what happend. As far as coding etc...that's why you can work with a professional team who are licensed to follow through with your plan and check coding etc to execute plans!

There is nothing wrong with being an interior decorator, and you are an AWESOME and talented one! But, even after you distinguish between designer and decorator, you still are not a designer in the professional meaning of the word, you are a professional interior decorator. I hate to be the one to add, but being an interior design major myself it is completely different than what you do and it is not fair to call yourself that repeatedly. I still love to see what you do because your channel and your work is really cool and I do love your videos.

@@_roqui_ that's the thing. We won't be doing the same. Interior DESIGN is not interior DECORATION. There's a lot more to it than decorating a space. My problem lies exactly in the education of the public who ear her saying she's a designer and believe design is the same as decorating. And for that they won't even consider hiring a designer for the work they need and will go to someone else. Because they don't realize our education isn't on choosing furniture or picking color combinations for their house. It's actual architectural and actual designing of every little detail that goes into making a space. It's solving problems not hiding it and making it look good. I am not criticizing her work, it's as much valid as mine or an architect or an engineer or even the painter and builders. But they're not the same.

Hi! I am an interior design student and intern and I'm just going to give you a tad bit of insight into my life for this career. Although it may seem to you like she "knows" what she's doing, she does NOT. Interior Design is a very hard career and is SO much more than buying furniture, DIY's, spending people's money, etc. Within this major, we have to hit the ground running from freshman year up to begin learning everything to equip us with the tools to become a licensed professional in our 4 year term. We learn the excruciating art of drafting everything by hand in our first month of school, then move onto drafting 3D models of spaces, measuring floor plans and the creating them ourselves. Then we move onto learning the professional software used in everyday Interior Design life (AutoCAD, Revit, Rhino, Photoshop, Adobe, Sketch Up, etc.), familiarizing ourselves with different fabrics, furniture, and finishes from affordable to high end. We spend literally every waking second in the studio slaving over drawings, paintings, presentations, floor plans, etc. IT IS THE LAW that you are NOT an interior designer unless you pass this examination due to the fact that this profession is architecture, art, engineering, sales, and communication all balled up into one! We have to understand and master electrical plans, how to build a structure, how to remaster a structure, the chemistry of color and how light affects each color, we have to learn how to draw and submit perfect documents to the government for approval as well as cooperate with our fellow architects, engineers, and contractors. This examination covers everything and more that true Interior Designers must slave over and train for over the course of their college years. Simply put, "self taught interior designer" means nothing if you haven't passed this exam. Her unorganized blabber was ill-rehearsed as she attempted to legitimize her interior decorating career and pass it off as interior design and it's alarming when she didn't even know what the exam was called. I respect her INTERIOR DECORATING career, but I lose my respect every time she refers to her self as an interior designer. In reference to the "when do I get paid?" question: at my university (as well as many others), the summer between your junior and senior year is dedicated to a professional internship and most of these internships are PAID and also lead you to your first interior design job. Free work isn't necessary unless you aren't LICENSED. Yes, there are plenty of jobs that don't require a degree, but interior design isn't one of them :)

you know, theres a difference between decorating and designing. decoration is art, design is more than decoration, its human behavioural science. “Most people make the mistake of thinking design is what it looks like. People think it’s this veneer - that the designers are handed this box and told, ‘Make it look good!’ That’s not what we think design is. It’s not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.” - Steve Jobs and in other countries, people can sue you if you call yourself an interior designer without a license.

as an actual interior designer this is a little insulting. i have to spend a lot of money and time to be taught building codes, color theory, also textiles and the history of interior design. there is a test you can take but if you never went to school to learn you are a decorator. as a designer I'm under more fire if I didn't select the right fabric for a commercial space. if you have never even gone to school you can't even be a part of ASID or IIDA. so, all the middle-aged moms or 20 somethings out there saying am an interior designer when they don't even know what or how to use AutoCAD or rivet, and can't even create a 3D rendering, picking out furniture and a paint sample is decorating. until you put the thousands of dollars and time in a classroom being taught do not call yourself an interior designer.

I really enjoy your channel and videos yet I find it upsetting when you call yourself an interior designer. You do not space plan, reconfigure floor plans, learn building codes, or building and material specifications. You do however redesign the aesthetics of spaces, and are very good at it, but this makes you a decorator not a designer. I have worked very hard earning my interior design degree and take the NCIDQ and when you state that you are an interior designer it creates a social stereotype lessening what I actually do. Again, there is nothing wrong being an decorator, and again you do really great work, but calling yourself an interior designer makes me and my colleges appear as though we just decorate too.

This is honestly so inspiring!! Thank you so much kate- I have always had a dream to be an interior designer/decorator thingy, and I never really new where to start. I would look at such a huge world and wonder 'how the hell am I gonna do it?!' Most of my GCSE Options were creative (excluding the compulsory ones and history and french) and I would always question myself on my desisions. But really has put me in the right tracks, (and ik this sounds cheesy) but I'm ready to pursue my dream in what I love to do most!! Thank u so much Kate!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
