Design skills

Artistic Ability – This is perhaps the most obvious essential trait for interior designers. You will need to provide sketches of your proposed designs for a space. AutoCAD will be utilized, since the interior design process often involves using computer programs to create two and three-dimensional renderings. You will also choose colors, furniture and materials to complement the design, as well as suit your client's needs for function, durability and accessibility.

Teamwork Ability – The ability to work well with others is also a must. In an interior design job, you will communicate with clients to assess what they want and need in a space, and then present your ideas for meeting those goals in a compelling way. Your responsibilities also include coordinating with architects, MEP/FP & structural engineers and others to complete the job in a timely and cost-effective manner.

Organizational Skills – Since interior designers complete a wide range of tasks and work with many different people, organizational skills are important. You are responsible for keeping the project on budget and on schedule. You will need to document your process and the products used, and manage contracts and negotiations on your client’s behalf. In addition to these things, you need a basic knowledge of building and safety codes to ensure that your interior design plan meets all necessary requirements.
