Yes! Well... it depends how you are defining interior design. Are you thinking about finishes and furnishings? Or about the design of the interior space; how spaces relate to one another, circulation, flow, function? If you are speaking of design, and not decoration, please consult with an interior designer at the same time as the architect, or before. In my experience, interior designers think on a smaller, function based level; architects are about the big picture. An interior designer should ask you how you live. This question helps to guide design because they will consider your particular needs. Also, consult with a kitchen and bath designer before finalizing house plans. Most times, interior designers (and kitchen and bath designers) work with what they are given. Sometimes it is a fixed space. Sometimes a wall or two can be taken down. And we do the best we can with what we've got. BUT, many times, a designer dealing with interior spaces wishes they were consulted before plans were set in stone (so to speak). Sometimes, it is the little things that make a big difference in function.

Are you interested in the decorating aspect, or the design aspect? Have you looked at schools? Are they CIDA accredited? Are you interested in residential, commercial, healthcare, hospitality, or corporate? It may serve you well to answer these questions, or at least think about them/research them. I was given some advice when attending a community college... go to school located where you want to live. Smart advice. I started in architecture, got a BFA in interior design, and ended up in construction development and real estate. I would advise you to learn as much as possible about construction, it may help you avoid problems, give you an edge in the industry, and command respect when dealing with the many other professionals you will encounter. Good luck!

I provide services in Pune. My design revolves primarily around using existing Climatological elements for creating desired moods as per the spaces. I prefer using functional and structural elements for creating a great visual appeal, rather than using dedicated cosmetic elements. If you looking for professional services, you will need to provide me: the coordinates of the house Position of North of the house with respect to site (plot drawing will do) Budget you are aiming at
