Goals

The interior decorator profession requires great listening and empathy skills to understand a client's intentions and needs. An interior decorator must be versatile, possessing a blend of creativity, meticulousness, curiosity, technical skill, and a rich cultural background.

Programme

The profession

In direct contact with their clients, the interior designer must have good listening skills and be capable of summarising the ideas expressed by their client to understand what they have in mind. They must also have a good command of drawing on paper or computer to be able to present a sketch or plan to the people they work with. 
 As a project manager, they should be able to suggest innovative spatial configurations. Furthermore, they must keep informed of the latest developments in the field in terms of materials, products, standards etc. 
 Finally, the interior designer is the main contact for the tradespersons and suppliers who will work on the worksites they are responsible for. 
How to become an interior designer? 
 In order to practice this profession, you can take a three-year interior design course. This will involve studying a wide range of subjects including interior design, designing ephemeral spaces and events scenography. This course can lead to setting up as a freelance interior designer. 
 What does an interior designer or decorator do? 
 An interior designer’s job is to create the design of an interior space. They also have to manage the teams and suppliers working on the project.

For Natasha Stojkovic, inspiration is not about recreating something you’ve seen elsewhere, but about eliciting an emotion that you have experienced for yourself. After graduating from ESAIL, Natasha started working as a decorator for the Groupe Lagrange in Lyon then as a designer & creator for Maisons du Monde in Nantes. In 2010, she founded the NovaOm agency of which she is the Managing Director
