For others, the choice comes later on, after other career paths and years of consideration.\n\nThe beautiful thing about interior decorating is that it\u2019s never too early or too late to begin learning professional techniques. Age is just a number! As long as you have an eye for style, can work efficiently, can think outside the box, and are always willing to learn, you\u2019ll be prepared for a career in interior decorating.\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_80 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/blog\/2015\/10\/too-old-too-young-start-interior-decorating-career\/#%E2%80%9CAm_I_too_young_to_become_an_interior_decorator%E2%80%9D\" >\u201cAm I too young to become an interior decorator?\u201d<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/blog\/2015\/10\/too-old-too-young-start-interior-decorating-career\/#%E2%80%9CAm_I_too_old_to_become_an_interior_decorator%E2%80%9D\" >\u201cAm I too old to become an interior decorator?\u201d<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/blog\/2015\/10\/too-old-too-young-start-interior-decorating-career\/#Getting_your_first_clients\" >Getting your first clients<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/blog\/2015\/10\/too-old-too-young-start-interior-decorating-career\/#Get_practicing\" >Get practicing!<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%9CAm_I_too_young_to_become_an_interior_decorator%E2%80%9D\"><\/span>\u201cAm I too young to become an interior decorator?\u201d<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nWhen it comes to learning basic interior decorating techniques and building a good foundation for professional training, you are never too young!\n\nAny person with a passion for coordinating details and celebrating style and expression should begin practicing whenever they can. In fact, the younger you start decorating your own spaces (or even the spaces in your family\u2019s home), the more time you have to improve and explore your skills.\n\nIt&#8217;s true that many interior decorating programs or colleges require you to be at least 18 to enroll. There are some, however, that understand how the passion for d\u00e9cor can start at a younger age. Some programs accept students as young as 16, as long as a parent or legal guardian is willing to sign a consent form giving them permission to enroll.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13813\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Design-Blog-In-Post-130x130-15.jpg\" alt=\"Young aspiring interior decorator looking for interior decorator jobs and interior decorating career\" width=\"850\" height=\"500\">\n\nIn most places, interior decorating is an unregulated profession. If you wish to branch out into interior design and actually change the physical structure of a room, however, you\u2019ll be required to complete additional training and become legally licensed. This doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t train as an interior decorator or begin developing your d\u00e9cor skills earlier to gain experience until you\u2019re old enough to train and consider licensing.\n\nIf your local area doesn\u2019t permit training until you\u2019re 18, don\u2019t be discouraged! Use online resources to help you begin practicing, or at least thinking about, basic d\u00e9cor skills. Google interior d\u00e9cor blogs or vlogs and read planning magazines to introduce yourself to themes, styles, trends, and decorating strategies. Use reputable resources as a research guide.\n\nThe best thing you can do is practice. Help your mom re-coordinate the furniture layout in her home office or give your best friend\u2019s bedroom a complete decorative makeover. You can even build a small portfolio to present to the programs you apply to later. People might not pay you for the first few spaces you decorate, but your friends and family make great practice clients if they\u2019re willing. The more experience you have before training, the higher your chances of being accepted into the program of your choice when you\u2019re old enough.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%9CAm_I_too_old_to_become_an_interior_decorator%E2%80%9D\"><\/span>\u201cAm I too old to become an interior decorator?\u201d<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nAs long as you\u2019re passionate about style and d\u00e9cor and willing to learn new things, you\u2019re never too old to become an interior decorator. In fact, many decorators start their careers after years of working in other industries, raising children, or debating whether they\u2019re ready to commit.\n\nFor some, a later start is actually beneficial because they\u2019ve already achieved goals and reached personal or professional milestones. Many older decorators are prepared to devote their full attention to interior decorating. They\u2019ve also had a chance to gain relevant life experience that might make them attractive candidates for training programs and potential clients.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13814\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Design-Blog-In-Post-130x130-14.jpg\" alt=\"mature woman starting her career in interior decorating and design\" width=\"850\" height=\"500\">\n\nInterior decorating programs and colleges have no age limit for seeking professional training. As long as you\u2019re able to complete the tasks required by the decorating process, you are not cut off from training as an interior decorator just because you\u2019ve reached a certain age.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Getting_your_first_clients\"><\/span>Getting your first clients<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nNo matter what age you are when you begin your interior decorating career, attracting your first clients can be intimidating. You can make it easier by knowing where your target market lies, which can be influenced by your age.\n\nIn the public\u2019s eye, a young interior decorator might appear trendy, fashionable, and up to date on the latest social and pop culture trends. This doesn\u2019t mean that older decorators can\u2019t be these things too! It simply means that younger decorators might have better luck targeting a younger crowd of potential clients than they would with more mature groups.\n\nFor example, a young, single professional buying her first condo in the city might be more attracted to decorators who are closer to her age. Mature decorators are just as capable of planning chic, trendy spaces, but clients often like to work with decorators they can identify with. A 23 year old might be more excited to work with someone closer to her age who probably likes the same things as her.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Design-Blog-In-Post-130x130-16.jpg\" alt=\"interior decorators have a varied range in decorating styles\" width=\"850\" height=\"500\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13817\">\n\nMature decorators often have the best luck working with clients in a similar demographic to their own age as well. An elderly married couple looking for help updating their living room will probably feel more comfortable hiring a mature planner with more life experience than they will hiring someone very young who perhaps hasn\u2019t owned a home of their own yet. Once again, this isn\u2019t because young planners can\u2019t coordinate traditionally stylish spaces for older generations! Clients might simply see themselves reflected in the experiences of a planner closer to their own demographic.\n\nIdentifying your target market is a crucial step to building a client base in any business. Interior decorators are no exception. Don\u2019t restrict who you\u2019ll work with simply because of your age, but keep in mind which groups might be most keen to work with you. Who will identify with your experience and style?\n\nA trendy young decorator could very easily be hired by an elderly lady looking for a fun, colorful new kitchen design and an older decorator might be hired by a young couple who want elegance and class in their master bedroom and see that capability in the decorator\u2019s maturity. Don\u2019t let yourself stress over whether or not you\u2019re too young or too old to find clients. Instead, use your age to your advantage and market yourself to clients who will value your life experience!\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_practicing\"><\/span>Get practicing!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Design-Blog-In-Post-130x130-17.jpg\" alt=\"practice your decorating techniques to improve your skills and worth as a professional decorator\" width=\"850\" height=\"500\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13822\">\n\nRegardless of your age, pursuing your passion for interior decorating is worth the time and effort. You should never be discouraged by other people questioning whether you are too young or too old to become an interior decorator. Professional decorating is the type of industry where you are constantly learning and growing, no matter your age or experience level. If you have the dedication to develop your skills from basic to advanced, then you have the potential to excel at any point.\n<h3 align=\"center\"><em>Follow your passion and make a successful career as an interior decorator!
