International differences in the required an Interior Designer
In many countries, the title ‘Interior Designer’ means the skills and remit products the UK call an ‘Interior Decorator. The confusion refers to protection of title. In Europe, an Interior Architect describes the identical remit and skill of the British interior designer, but as ‘Architect’ can be a protected title in the UK it can't be used to describe an internal designer. Descriptions from the role and skills of interior designers differ around the globe, unlike that relating to an Architect, Lawyer or Doctor the location where the title is clearly identified.

SBID aimed to clarify the role and definition by identifying the different sector specialisms within decor that require specific compliance laws. A clear idea of roles and obligations is core to your teaching structures and course content which trains new professionals. SBID will continue to work towards title recognition to have an Interior Designer in the UK.

How does an Interior Designer become qualified?
In the UK, you can describe themselves being an ‘interior designer’. Therefore for consumer protection, separation and distinction through the masses of hobbyists is the vital thing. The SBID member status denotes an enhanced a higher level professional qualification and work experience beyond university education.

Designers can join at any stage of their career and progress throughout the membership levels to own highest volume of practice being an SBID Accredited professional. SBID also accredits university course content as fit for professional practice, offering students at any recognised decor course free student membership. In 2022, SBID will introduce an entry exam to measure acquired knowledge. This process adds a layer above honours degree and work placements, supplying the first UK based-tested measure of knowledge that may further the time and effort to protect the title of ‘decor’ in Great Britain.
