Question 1

What are some common mistakes that beginners make in interior design?

Accepted Answer

Most beginner interior designers fail because they have no direction. They are lacking some basic knowledge regarding design, particularly the elements and principles of design, and dive in head first. There is nothing wrong with practicing your craft, but having the capacity to then analyze where you were successful and where you failed in a design plan is crucial for improvement.

Question 2

What are some good resources for learning about interior design?

Accepted Answer

You can find great resources through free or paid online educational courses. YouTube can be a resource as well, as can blogs and books. The best resource for you will depend on how you learn best, and whether you intend to be a hobbyist or a professional.

Question 3

How can I find inspiration for my interior design projects?

Accepted Answer

Save everything that you find appeals to you. This can be anything from any subject like architecture to fashion. Fabric, sculptures, trim around a window - take a photo or screenshot and save it. It can be an image of an entire room or a photo of interesting tiling in a hotel elevator. Most files are digital now, so you can organize your photos in folders depending on style, color scheme, or accessory. Your organization method is up to you. When you feel uninspired or stuck, go through your folders and see if inspiration strikes.
