Easy and Convenient Career To Start

While interior decorating is a part of the interior design field, an Interior Decorator is not the same thing as an Interior Designer. A Decorator can work in this field usually without needing any special degree or license – while a designer needs both of these qualifications. This is very advantageous to a senior looking to work a new career, because there is no need to spend years of study to work as an Interior Decorator.

Utilize Already Gained Experience and Likes

An Interior Decorator spends most of her time shopping for and suggesting items for the interior of a client’s home. This can include: paint color, wall paper, works of art, floor coverings, lighting fixtures, window coverings and all sorts of furniture and accessories. Of course, this will also entail the exact placement of these items in the home. Many seniors will already have years of experience doing these tasks for their own homes or those of family members.

Can Be a Home Based Career

Not having to commute and working from the safety and convenience of your own home is very appealing to many people, including seniors. Thanks to the modern internet, many of the tasks that an Interior Decorator has to do can be done with a computer. Thanks to sophisticated imaging and display capabilities, even most of the shopping for decorator items can be done from home. Of course, there will be necessary visits to clients’ homes and some stores – so you will be based at home, not “stuck” at home.

Exposure to New People and Things

As an Interior Decorator, you will meet many new people, including clients and vendors. You will also regularly learn about new things and ideas as you talk with these people and shop around for decorating ideas and items. This helps to keep a senior’s mind engaged and active, so most of the time you will not be bored – and you will also be able to have fun with your work.
