As a counterpoint, here's the pro-licensing argument for interior designers from a friend's mother who is an interior designer in Florida: interior designers are distinct from interior decorators in that they often propose structural changes to buildings that, if done improperly, could compromise the integrity of the structure. Licensing interior designers is another layer of safety akin to a building permit for someone renovating their home.
- lukesandberg 15y agobut presumably you would still need to actually hire carpenters/architects and get a building permit to implement the structural changes. I don't think you should need to be licensed to make a recommendation.
- pyre 15y agoI think that the implication is that the designer is acting as the architect, and just directly hiring the carpenters/etc. I don't know if this is true or not though.
- flogic 15y agoIsn't approving structural changes why we have PEs?
