Educational costs are soaring even as the economy is plummeting, making the price tag of a traditional interior design course shoot off the charts. That’s why many savvy students are opting instead to go into interior redesign which doesn’t require a degree to get started.

Here are a few of the essential benefits to starting a career in home redesign rather than traditional design according to Barbara Jennings, director of the Academy of Staging and Redesign.

1) No college education needed for redesign - To properly prepare for an interior design course that leads to a career, a student typically must receive a Bachelor’s Degree at an accredited 4 year university or design school. Four years is a long time to wait to enter the field as an employee or business owner.

2) Little to no risk to start a redesign business - Interior design involves time consuming and costly investments in samples, vendor books, products and operations. Building up a client list can be long and arduous. Mistakes happen that can also be costly and non-recoupable. However redesign has almost no risk and start-up costs are low.

3) Projects are completed in one day for fast turnaround - Projects in traditional design can become quite extensive, involving many permits and contractors. Delays and problems are commonplace. However, in redesign, the essence of the concept is working with the furniture and accessories the client already owns and projects are typically completed in half day or full day sessions.

4) Costs associated with learning are minimal - The expense of a four year degree at a college prevent many people from entering the interior design field. Those that do are often left with huge loans to repay. Re-designers can train quickly through home study courses and repay their costs immediately with fees charged to one or two clients.

5) Associated services, like real estate staging, are easily incorporated - Additional lucrative services can easily be incorporated into a redesign business, such as house staging, color consultation, floral design, party decorating, shopping services and a host of others. Since the services are simplified, the life of a re-designer is much more carefree and adaptable.

“One designer I know transposed code numbers on a commercial installation of carpeting. All the carpeting had to be torn out and replaced and tens of thousands of dollars had to be absorbed by the designer at a loss. This would never happen in redesign.” commented Jennings.

As more and more people keep their present home because of the collapsing economy, redesign is becoming the decorating method of choice by consumers and professionals alike.
