The Future of Interior Design

Interior design, although it is commonly confused with the interior decoration profession, has a bright future ahead. I think that interior design programs will grow larger in schools that feature them, and will be introduced to schools that do not offer such a program. This could also mean interior design being introduced to high school level education. I believe that innovation and different technologies will only further enhance the unique qualities of interior design.
I see the expansion of "green" technologies and products within the profession, which will only be more attractive to prospective clients. Also with a lot of our technology switching to digital touchscreen interface, I believe that design professionals will have their hands on new design technologies that will be easier to use. With touchscreen technologies, it may be possible for a professional to design a space with their fingertips, literally.
I believe it is in the hands of educators and design professionals to further the success and knowledge of the profession. With the proper education and promotion of interior design, it is possible that those who are made aware of the profession may be inspired by it and may pursue. Of course this is only speculation, but it is not exactly an unrealistic theory.  Current design professionals, educators, and students have the power to change the general public's perception of interior design, and can also inform them of how to attain a license in interior design.
