Ask Fashion Girl

Dear Serena,

It looks like you're well on the way to becoming an interior designer! That's someone who works with clients to choose the best styles, colors, fabrics, furniture, accessories, and room details to best express their lifestyle and make them feel most comfortable. Interior designers create the look and mood of interior spaces, whether it's a bedroom in a house, an office in a skyscraper, a hotel lobby, or a restaurant dining room. They pick out the wall, window, and floor treatments, along with the furniture and lighting. Grace, of the TV show Will & Grace is an interior designer.If you love movies and are interested in the entertainment industry, you'd make a great set designer! Set designers bring the director's vision to life by creating virtual worlds (sets) for scenes in film and TV productions. They plan out the space and fill it with elements appropriate to the time period and location.As you've already learned from your friends, most people don't really know how to make their living area beautiful. They need help from someone like you, who has a talent and love for making interiors look gorgeous. Plus, there's nothing like getting paid to do something you love!Check out FIDM's Interior Design Program for more details about these and more interior design jobs: Interior Design Program.
