International differences in the required an Interior Designer
In many countries, the title ‘Interior Designer’ means the skills and remit products the UK label an ‘Interior Decorator. The confusion works with protection of title. In Europe, an Interior Architect describes the identical remit and skill of your British interior designer, but as ‘Architect’ can be a protected title in the UK it wouldn't be used to describe an enclosed designer. Descriptions in the role and skills of interior designers differ world wide, unlike those of an Architect, Lawyer or Doctor the spot that the title is clearly identified.
SBID aimed to clarify the role and definition by identifying the different sector specialisms within design that require specific compliance laws. A clear comprehension of roles and obligations is core on the teaching structures and course content which trains new professionals. SBID is constantly work towards title recognition on an Interior Designer in the UK.

The SBID member status denotes an enhanced degree of professional qualification and work experience beyond university education.
