Interior designers must know how to plan a space and how to present that plan visually so that it can be communicated to the client. They must also know about the materials and products that will be used to create and furnish the space, and how texture, color, lighting and other factors combine and interact to make the space come together. In addition, interior designers must understand the structural requirements of their plans, the health and safety issues, building codes, and many other technical aspects.

In the Interior Design program here at FHSU, you will study the design, safety, and usability issues of creating spaces where we live, work, and play. Coursework focuses on residential and commercial interiors, color theory, business principles and design practices. Graduates are prepared to seek entry-level employment such as draftperson, facilities planner, interior designer, or space planner.
