Interior Design...It's not Just about Decorating


During a classroom activity about jobs, a young girl said she wanted to be an interior designer. The teacher praised the girl, but then kindly suggested she should also think about a "real career." When the girl's father heard about the teacher's comment, he presented her with the following from Wikipedia:

Interior design is a field within environmental psychology, which concerns the environmental conditions of the interior. It is a study of the relationship between an environment and how it affects the behavior of inhabitants, with the aim of maximizing positive effects.

Further defending his daughter, the dad pointed out that interior design careers can be found in corporate design, architectural firms, and real estate sales. Commercial interior designers can make more than $100K/year. Home stagers and private decorators can make $80,000+. City planners and architectural firms pay between $60,000 and $90,000. 

Interior design isn't just about decorating. It's about creating the right flow, mood, and function. Interior design studies have shown that crowded environments—like low income high-rise projects—can contribute to violence, while harmonious environments can make people more peaceful. That makes interior designers part scientist, part artist, and part social engineer. I'd say it's a "real career."

 5 random facts that will blow your mind!

  1. Dinosaurs existed for so long that there were still dinosaur fossils from previous eras while other dinosaurs from future eras were alive. (People, too.)
  2. You can fit the entire population of the human race inside the Grand Canyon. Not just the 7 billion alive now - the entire lot. From the very start. See the math here.
  3. If every person on earth fought one-to-one until there was only one winner, that person would only have to win 33 times. (Divide the population by two, then keep dividing by two.)
  4. Shock paddles won't start a stopped heart. They are used to put an irregular or weak heart beat back into a normal rythm. Chest compressions are used to start a stopped heart.
  5. 16⁰C and 28⁰C reversed are equal to their Fahrenheit value. So - 16 is 61f and 28 is 82f. (Okay, so that fact won't blow your mind, but it is cool.)
