Vault career guide to interior design
By Sara Forest

While reading Vault Career Guide to Interior Design there were several thoughts going through my head, and many things that I realized about interior design.
This book teaches you a lot about interior design way more then trying it yourself, reading magazines, or even watching shows. It’s better to know reality then watching some show like Trading Spaces or Queer Eye for the Straight Guy when it takes 30min-1hour to complete the room. In reality the designers spend days picking out colors and fabrics.

The whole point Sara Forest was trying to do was to give the reader an idea of what to expect. Also it kind of allows the reader to have an idea on how things will be, and weather they want to pursue in the field of interior design. She provides a breakdown of career paths, including residential and commercial design, sales and furniture design.Sara made it very simple to find exactly what you’re looking for with the detailed broken down to step by step order glossary .

Personally I thought it’d be a challenging book to read, a little boring, but also thought it’d take quite a long time to read (coming from someone who hardly reads). Honestly it ended up being pretty easy to read, not challenging except for some vocabulary, and wasn’t boring; because it was something I was interested in. a huge positive about this book is that there was a step by step transition into each subject/topic on what you need to know and be able to do. The major downfall would be the fact that Vault Career Guide to Interior Design is just simply bland. There was no humor in any way, shape, or form with everything being completely straight forward with no hesitation to tell you.
