“We glorify God by reshaping the raw materials of the world in such a way that, for those with eyes to see, God’s glory and presence are made visible.” ~John Mark Comer

Who doesn’t love a good episode of “Fixer Upper” or “Flip or Flop?” Shows like this have glamorized interior design as a career. And yet, for the visually oriented, highly creative individual, interior design from Christian colleges with interior design is often a great career fit, especially if you are driven to create indoor spaces that are functional, safe and aesthetically appealing. These spaces could range from hotels to schools to restaurants to residential homes to offices. An interior design major finds fascination in “playing with” details such as paint color, upholstery, window treatments, fabric swatches, light fixtures and flooring. As a college major, interior design teaches students how to create high quality floor plans through computer-aided drafting programs, as well as to read blueprints, estimate project costs and draw up business contracts. Topics of study range from period styles to portfolio/business development to marketing to project management to state and federal building codes. An interior design major also equips students with the specific design software skills necessary to succeed in the industry.

There is a myriad of skills needed in this business-related, applied visual arts degree. Having an intuitive eye for aesthetics and the ability to create a smooth, cohesive look is imperative. Other helpful traits and skills for this major include being attentive to detail, the ability to solve problems creatively, and a strong sense of spacial visualization. In addition, design work is often done in collaboration and for a wide-array of clients so it is important to be a team-player and have strong communication skills, including the ability to listen carefully and pick up on nuance so as to translate wishes into specific types of environments for a vast array of needs, purposes and styles. Individuals who thrive in the interior design industry are those who are able to multitask, meet deadlines, stay focused, work within a budget and maintain a posture of lifelong learning in a sea of constantly evolving technology and design styles.

Stepping into an interior design program, you can expect to take business and art classes and general courses like communication and psychology. You will likely work to create a design portfolio over the course of your educational journey and may participate in an internship before graduating. Examples of courses you might expect to take include:

Principles of interior design
Drawing and perspectives
History of design
Space planning
Interior lighting design
3-D design
Interior design professional practice

Interior design careers tend to be fairly competitive. For this reason, some interior designer majors go on to pursue a master’s degree or further training in areas of specialization in order to become experts in a wide variety of design areas such as industrial, healthcare, residential or green interior design. Roughly 33% of interior designers find employment through some form of freelance work. Though a majority of interior design majors become interior designers for a design firm, other related career areas include:

Set designer
Art director
Space planner
Landmark design preservationist
Historic residential designer
Textile designer

If creative juices pulse through your veins and artistic ability seems hard-wired into your brain, then perhaps part of God’s good plan for your life involves taking your abilities and showcasing his inventive, beautiful image to the world through the diverse and unique field of interior design.
