If you are very much inclined toward the creative aspect of interior design, you may prefer to be a residential designer. As stated above, you will likely have more freedom in doing homes than you would in designing professional structure. Many of the sub branches of specialty are better suited, but not restricted to residential designers. Much of your specialty will depend on your better interest.

  However, if you are hoping to use your creativity to possibly put you into a better tax bracket, you may prefer to do commercial work. This type of work is generally on a larger scale than in residential jobs. The offered pay per room is usually a bit higher as well. Both fields are great to work in, and both offer many rewards.

     Choosing a specialty is often easy, but it can be more rewarding for you to have one. It doesn’t really matter which area you choose because they all have their rewards and difficulties. The most advantageous reason to specialize is obviously to set yourself up as an expert in your field. Many people would prefer an expert to a designer that does work in all areas. It adds to your professional status.
