I chose Interior decorating because it seemed like the best job for me. I love decorating my room and helping my parents choose paint colors, material, and furniture. However, this isn’t all interior decorators do. They also look at space, lighting, and even architectural design. This is an interesting career path and can sometimes be challenging. In the end, it’s worth helping people choose the design that fits them best.
