Top 6 pieces of advice for future interior designers

If you are looking to become a top interior designer and turn your passion into a successful career, you should follow these six helpful guidelines.




Get training and experience: One of the biggest first steps you can take is to gain experience in the field of interior design. Maybe you can start by taking a short course in interior design at a fashion institute like this one and learn the skills you will need to begin working. It is helpful to know what your strengths and weaknesses are beforehand in order to take the right classes and improve upon your skills. Another useful way to gain experience is to get an internship. This will show you what it is like to work as an interior designer and help you grow in the industry.

Put together a portfolio: Document all of the projects you work on whether it is at an internship or at school. It is also helpful to keep a digital portfolio that you can share online or in blogs to show off what you have accomplished so far. You never know who will notice!


Don’t search for perfection: Interior design is not about staging a picture perfect room all of the time. When you are designing keep in mind that rooms are meant to be as comfortable and warming as they are beautiful to look at. Design draws on how people feel.

Believe in yourself: Always remind yourself that if you put effort into your passion everything will be okay. Setbacks and trialing times are inevitable in a competitive industry so it is always important to believe in your talents.

Practice your math skills: Interior design and architecture have many things in common and math plays an important role in everyday work of both professions. The best interior designers are skilled and know how to scale drawings and calculate their vision. Brushing up on your math skills will set you apart from the average designers.



Keep looking for inspiration everywhere and know your clients: Always absorb the world around you and take your inspiration for future projects from everything. Picking up on how every type of room is designed and learning different styles will make you a very successful interior designer. It is also important to know and understand your client. By getting to know your client you will be able to design a space for them that they will love. Function and style go hand in hand.

As varied and wholesome the community of foodies around the world is, there’s a dedicated platform, a social network connecting people for the love of food. Foodiye.com is a unique online space that allows food-lovers to connect, share and express their mutual affection for scrumptious, delectable and tempting savours.

The #TopsSelfieContest became the ultimate contest for food lovers that needed the participants to click a selfie with their favourite Tops Pickles and upload it on Foodiye.com. With several enthusiastic participants posing with their choice of Tops pickle (there's a wide range of flavours to choose from), the contest soon gathered pace with a hoard of pickle selfies flooding the food-social-network.

The products have been created by Chef Felix Daniel and his team.

The range of coffees includes options such as:

Bangalore Startup Coffee
Inspired by the startup culture of the city, it gives one the confidence and energy to achieve anything. The light flavors, reminiscent of the South Indian Filter Coffee, are a result of the 100% Arabica roast coffee beans decoction mixed with piping hot milk.




  
Boston Black Coffee
The straight-forward, light and easy-going coffee is a palatable version of the classic black coffee – sans the bitterness - for the Indian audiences.



Therapeutic Cappuccino
Designed to soothe the senses, this is a 100% Arabica Italian-style coffee and rich hot chocolate, generously dressed with whipped cream and drizzled with cinnamon powder.



Tough Guy Cappuccino
This tough coffee is a hard-working triple shot of dark-roast 100% Arabica espresso in rich textured milk, with a hint of brandy flavour. Perfect for those long hours to be put in for achieving the impossible!



Launching the new range of Coffee, Mr. Dev Amritesh, President and COO, Dunkin’ Donuts India, said, “Today’s youth is running at an undeterred pace with a desire to conquer the world. Dunkin’ Donuts acknowledges this “spirit to conquer” through the new range of coffees. It is the ultimate fuel to keep you going so that with “enough coffee you could shake the world”.

Dunkin’s new range of coffees occupies an emergent space of coffee consumption between the two called Real-Social. Inspired from real-social contexts in youth’s life – workspace and relationships, the coffees are designed as the ultimate self help for the 24x7 youth culture.

The brand has its presence across almost all major social media channels.
