For example, rather than using drafting tables, interior designers now use complex software to create two-dimensional or three-dimensional images.

Work Schedules

Most interior designers work full time. They may need to adjust their workday to suit their clients' schedules and deadlines, meeting with clients during evening and weekend hours when necessary. Interior designers also travel to the clients' design sites.
