Home Interior Decorating

A particular doctrine claims that house decorators are born, not made. Nonetheless, as long as you have an elementary artistic streak and a yearning to be creative, you can be groomed to any level of expert knowledge in decor. Giving a property buyer the main benefit of one's creative streak in this way is probably one of the most lucrative and creative careers today.

Beyond any doubt, decor is a satisfying profession for people who 'have it' nowadays. There is an unprecedented sum of up-market residential and commercial property being sold on the realty market today. Furthermore, the present generation buyers of properties can afford to have their new acquisitions packaged attractively. Engaging the expertise of an interior decorator was once considered a lavish luxury, but no longer. With the increased spending power of the IT generation, a home is defined by its aesthetic appeal -- and a growing amount of people are set to pay for that.

The trend for professionally decorated interiors has percolated down from film stars to almost every upper stratum of society. Nor is the demand for decor any longer confined to residences -- witness the offices of most successful doctors, lawyers and advertising agencies, along with bookstores, music shops, shopping centers, restaurants, hotel lobbies... yes, the scope for decor is virtually endless.

HITTING THE HIGH NOTES

Other than being an inherently glamorous profession, decor has a career has a few other interests offer:

PEOPLE -- You meet a lot of them, and from a fascinating cross-section - from movie icons to business magnates; from well-known restaurant proprietors to fast-track lawyers; from neurosurgeons to the idle rich.

MONEY -- You earn a lot of it. We all have respect for artistic flair, and your attempts are meant to reflect the property owner's own taste. This makes it an ego issue, and people pay a great deal to support their ego.

CONTACTS -- A career in decor is self-propagating. One successfully completed contract almost instantly results in another, till you can genuinely pick and choose. Also, the people you come upon can come in useful in lot of other respects later on.

NO SPECIAL TRAINING REQUIRED -- naturally, an elementary degree in the Arts can't hurt, but a timescale of internship under an acknowledged interior decorator will serve just as well.

EXTENSIVE EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR OTHERS -- You won't be operating on your own. A large enough contract will demand the services of a carpenter, electrician, painter and a graphic computer designer. A lot of individuals will benefit from your profession - and that is fundamental.

LIMITLESS JOB SATISFACTION -- Expressing oneself artistically is probably one of the most satisfying experiences that an individual being can have; being paid to do it is nothing but a commission. It is no secret that one works best at what one enjoys doing - it is evenly true that one of the biggest problems in the present professional world is lack of creative outlets.

Most individuals have an 'inbuilt' creative streak in some form or the other. Professional house decorators who were polled recently firmly denied that theirs is a 'born' breed -- almost anyone can produce a flair, liking and proficiency in this field.
