What is an Interior Designer?
Good design goes beyond aesthetics and function to issues of healthy living for individuals, communities and the planet; safe living for all ages and abilities; and environments that promote the well-being of all users.
A Registered Interior Designer is qualified to practice commercial or residential work.
Definition of Interior Design:
Interior design encompasses the analysis, planning, design, documentation, and management of interior non-structural/non-seismic construction and alteration projects in compliance with applicable building design and construction, fire, life-safety, and energy codes, standards, regulations, and guidelines for the purpose of obtaining a building permit, as allowed by law. Qualified by means of education, experience, and examination, interior designers have a moral and ethical responsibility to protect consumers and occupants through the design of code-compliant, accessible, and inclusive interior environments that address well-being, while considering the complex physical, mental, and emotional needs of people.
