Could you be an . . . Interior Designer?

Do you walk into a room and immediately notice what's off-kilter? Do you shop for bedroom decorations rather than shoes? If so, you may have the makings of an Interior Designer!

An Interior Designer determines the look of an interior space: wall, window, and floor treatments; choice of furniture and lighting; and minor or major architectural changes. What's needed? Exquisite taste, a keen color sense, and professional training.
