Especially interior designers need to have three of abilities among them;
problem-solving, interpersonal skills and knowledge.

because interior design is not only decorated indoor spaces. People can expect
them of visual changing in interior design, but the designers draw floor plan
of electrical equipment, fire-fighting facilities, luminous intensity and
traffic line. Of cause, the interior designers emphasize design of house, but
they also find problems of the space and suggest solution of them.
Interior designers need to have knowledge of design. When
they draw floor plan, they should remain size of everything in the space. Furthermore,
interior designers should know about computer program skills in the 21st
century. For communicating with architect is important understanding of Auto-CAD
program. Moreover, they simulate the spaces by Sketch-up or 3D-MAX programs and
they try to show it is a similar result of construction. They also have to
control Adobe program, it is a primary design program on the computer.
Interpersonal skill is also needed in interior design
field because they should get across their idea to the clients. The designers
present their drawing on front of their clients before they start work and they have enough
conversation on the meeting. If there is conflict of opinions, the designers have
to persuade the clients. After they started on the project, they usually work on
their part as a team-play. In South Korea, there are few part of interior
design; design part, 2-Demendenal drawing part, color part, 3-Demendenal simulation
part, construction part (electronic, equipment, flooring, carpentry, painting,
decorating......). Interpersonal skill is more important skills on the begging
of construction.

they become in the future. Even though they don't choose any kind of job, they
should know about this personal skill is needed almost all around job field.
