How to Open & Operate a Financially Successful Interior Design Business

Interior design has become a booming industry in recent years with interior designers who own their own firms pulling a median income of $75,000. Thousands of homes are up for sale in the United States today, and many may need a spruce up in order to be sold for asking price. Interior designers create the spaces where we work, play, and live every day. Whether it is a private residence, corporate office, retail store, or a restaurant, interior designers use their creativity and knowledge of color principles, architecture, and design to make it work and look amazing.
