Salary Information for New Interior Designers
If there is a theme for aspiring designers to note, it's this: an interior design career offers many rewards (financial and otherwise), but you have to be willing to start at the bottom and work your way up. The good news is a little experience can go a long way toward increasing an interior design salary.
As you might expect, salaries for interior designers vary based on geographic location as well as industry experience. Other factors that might influence income include your position within a design firm or whether you are self-employed.
