About Interior Designer UK

What Interior Designer UK publishes

Interior Designer UK publishes reference articles on the interior design profession in the United Kingdom for three audiences: students and career changers who want to enter the profession, homeowners and landlords who want to hire a designer, and practising designers who need the statutory rules that interior work in England triggers. Every article states the year and the source of each figure it quotes.

Who writes the articles

The articles are written and checked by the Interior Designer UK editorial team, which signs every article collectively rather than under individual names. The team does not offer design services, does not take referral fees from designers, contractors or course providers, and has no commercial relationship with the British Institute of Interior Design, the Society of British and International Interior Design or any other body named on the site.

Where the figures come from

Every figure comes from a page the editorial team fetched on the publication date, and the article links to that page at the point where the figure appears. The main sources are the Office for National Statistics, the National Careers Service, Prospects, BIID and SBID pricing pages, the Approved Documents and VAT notices on GOV.UK, the Planning Portal, the Health and Safety Executive and legislation.gov.uk. The editorial policy explains how claims are sourced and how corrections are handled.

How to reach the editorial team

Readers can reach the editorial team by email at info@interior-designer.uk.com for corrections, source queries and permission requests, and the contact page explains what to include in a message so that the team can act on it.
