    Wtf? Why does an interior designer need training?

    Isn’t it just like picking colors and furniture?

      Usually, but in Florida you have to follow very specific rules so no one realizes you’re gay.

      Actually you might be surprised how much building code interior designers have to know.

      For example, in California permanently installed kitchen islands are required to have electrical outlets on either side. You gotta know that to design the kitchen in a way that won’t get your clients in trouble.

      Maybe this is a case of interior designer and interior decorators being different things
