Overview
Interior architects plan the inside of homes, buildings and other structures. They define space distribution, specifications, aesthetics and architectural drawings so interiors work visually and practically.
In job descriptions, look for space planning, interior drawings, CADD software, furniture trends, accessibility, building regulations, aesthetic requirements, customer communication and retrofit or energy-performance considerations.

Search jobsWork context
Interior architects work with rooms before they are built, renovated or fitted out. They translate client needs, spatial limits, aesthetics, accessibility and building constraints into plans and drawings.
Skills and specialization
Useful depth includes CADD software, furniture and material choices, space distribution, building regulations, energy performance, accessibility, customer communication and turning design principles into buildable details.
Salary context
Salary context depends on project size, client responsibility, drawing complexity, coordination with architects or engineers, renovation constraints and whether the role includes concept design through delivery.
Career paths
Experience can lead toward senior interior design, project leadership, workplace or hospitality design, accessibility consulting, retrofit work or broader architectural coordination.
Good to know
Check whether adverts name the building type, drawing tools, client contact, specification work, site visits and coordination with contractors. Strong roles separate decoration tasks from architectural interior planning.
