As John McCann found out, The amount of money you can earn as an interior designer really depends on your qualifications…

Decorating your home, office, or business can be time consuming. It can also be very difficult if you don’t have a very creative side. Interior Designers are qualified to come in and take your needs into consideration. They are able to completely transform most any room or facility to give it the feel you are after. You can go with a theme, time period, or just the latest fashions. Those who do interior design truly love being able to complete this type of work. In addition to helping the area look great they also know how to plan the layout to meet the needs of the room and get the most out of the available space.  

ImageThe amount of money you can earn as an interior designer really depends on your qualifications. Many people just simply love to do the work and the have no formal training. They often take on jobs for people in their homes as a freelancer. Those individuals who have a degree in Interior Design often make much more money because they appear better qualified. They are often hired by large companies or they operate their own business.

Some of the very best Interior Designers make hundreds of thousands of dollars because they are designing for the rich and famous. While this is a huge amount of money they work very hard for it. Their job is quite stressful and they have heavy demands placed on them to meet deadlines.

It is very common for an Interior Designer to start out in a very low position and then work their way up. Interior Designer Assistants are very common positions for those who are just entering the field. This is an excellent way to learn the concepts of the profession that attending school just doesn’t prepare you for.

According to recent studies, the average Interior Designer earns $48,000 per year. This is very good money when you consider how much they love their job. Some of them make more depending on their experience and the location where they live. Most Interior Designers also get paid for money to travel when their services are requested out of town. This includes their transportation, meals, and accommodations.

There is really no limit though to how much money a good Interior Designer can make. Some of them choose to only work part time and others work full time. In most cases though those who work independently are able to earn more money than those who work for a decorating company.

Interior Designers who specialize in a particular area also tend to make more money than those who are generalists in all aspects of Interior Design. This is because they are able to show they are an expert in that particular niche that individuals are after. Some areas to specialize in are office design, nurseries, and salons.

In addition, those Interior Designers who create and market their own products earn even more money. This is because they are earning money on the materials as well as the time and the labor involved in completing the project.
