International differences in the necessary an Interior Designer
In many countries, the title ‘Interior Designer’ means the skills and remit products the UK call an ‘Interior Decorator. The confusion works with protection of title. In Europe, an Interior Architect describes a similar remit and skill of an British interior designer, but as ‘Architect’ is often a protected title in the UK it wouldn't be used to describe an enclosed designer. Descriptions from the role and skills of interior designers differ all over the world, unlike those of an Architect, Lawyer or Doctor the place that the title is clearly identified.
SBID aimed to clarify the role and definition by identifying the many sector specialisms within decor that require specific compliance laws. A clear knowledge of roles and obligations is core to your teaching structures and course content which trains new professionals. SBID carries on work towards title recognition with an Interior Designer in the UK.
