There can be many resources available for the Interior Design department, along with the resources that are given to you by teachers.

 

Out of some of my favorite websites is Building Green. When on the website, you can see what are the latest sustainable features that Interior Design holds. There are articles, design strategies, and many more tabs that go into building a house or any other building from the ground up. There are tabs for appliances, furnishing, and even window treatments. 

 

Another good website is MADCAD, this website has all the building codes that you would need as an interior designer. This can be for any project or just to keep you up to date with the newest codes. The website is not just for one category of codes, it can be used for residential, commercial, hospitality and many more.

 

Whether you use these sites or not, there is a good trick that I learned from one of my professors who has her own interior design firm. Always keep a list of websites that you have been to in a spreadsheet. This will help navigate you when you are looking for a certain manufacturer for your designs. This is what I do, along with a list of the people who helped me that work for the manufacturer. I believe this will help you on your journey to interior design.
