Interior Design Degrees in Michigan

Some people are turned off by the notoriously brutal winters that plague Michigan colleges and universities. However, the cold has a bonding effect that manages to bring people together. Except for the occasional stadium football game, you will not need to go outside very much. Expect to spend many nights and weekends in sports bars cheering on your favorite team over a few pints of beer (but not before your schoolwork is all finished).In the last recession, when jobs were scarce and once thriving businesses were floundering, big-box home furnishing stores like Home Depot and Loews made a fortune. During harder times, people were redesigning their homes. And even as the economy improves, the home designing bug has hardly worn off. The stores are still jammed and turn on your TV, and show after show features the latest celebrity designer of the moment.

All of these show that the times couldn't be better to get an interior design degree. Rarely does a field come along that is both booming and so creatively satisfying, and with no sign of fading away as an expanding industry.

Interior design is broadly defined as the finishing touches on an architectural interior. Lighting, furniture, decoration, and aesthetic design all fall under its wing. A good degree program therefore introduces you to all of these components. Classes will include basic concepts of interior design but also important elective subjects like drawing, sculpture and art theory so that you have the background to make exciting choices for a company or client.

And so much of interior design inovles problem-solving. A rule of thumb is that no matter how identical two spaces are, no two rooms are completely alike. Clients are different, electrical lay out can be different; even the smallest difference can change a project radically. A degree prepares you for all these vagaries of the business.

But most importantly, getting into interior design allows you to be creative and artistic without having to forgo a potentially lucrative career. It's the perfect union of art and commerce. Go for it!
