QuestionIs math important when it comes to interior design?Community AnswerI'm an Interior Design teacher. I'm always surprised about the difficulties my students face in understanding drawing in scale. This is math we all study in primary school (at 7/8 years old) and it is fundamental to design in the right proportions, otherwise you can't deal with the concept of space. So the answer is: yes, BASIC math is important.

QuestionHow can I start practicing interior decorating as a kid?Community AnswerWhen I was a kid I would use the family desktop computer. I would draw rooms and decorate them using the paint program on it. If you would like an even better option, there is a program in the Microsoft app store called "Planner - 5D Home and Interior Design," it allows you to switch from 2D to 3D easily and it is well worth it to spend the $10-$20 for the full version. You will have access to all materials and be able to save them, as well as take snapshots too. If you don't have access to a computer, good old fashioned graph paper, and a ruler work. Make sure you do well in school as well, as it will help you when looking for a college.
