International differences in the necessary an Interior Designer
In many countries, the title ‘Interior Designer’ means the skills and remit products the UK label an ‘Interior Decorator. The confusion pertains to protection of title. In Europe, an Interior Architect describes a similar remit and skill of your 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 world wide, 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 various sector specialisms within design that require specific compliance laws. A clear idea of roles and obligations is core on the teaching structures and course content which trains new professionals. SBID is constantly on the work towards title recognition with an Interior Designer in the UK.
