Gift Ideas for Interior Designers



Are you looking for a nice gift to give your interior designer?

Do you wish to gift something practical and beneficial that an interior designer will love?

Do you seek a gift your designer will happily use as often as possible?

Finding gifts for creative people is not that hard, but many don't believe so. Most feel that design-savvy individuals are hard to please. Although interior designers are creative and work with stylish and attractive things, their personal preferences and tastes are not necessarily on the high side. Rather, they appreciate gifts they can use in their homes or while carrying out their duties.
 

Gifts to Consider

Keep an open mind when deciding on what to gift. Consider these points:
 
Will it serve a purpose?
Is it practical?
Is it pleasing?

Artwork, artsy elements, curios, sculptures, and décor accents are great, but so are software programs, flea market finds, Interior design-related workbooks, and magazine subscriptions that keep them up-to-date with industry trends.
 

Magazine subscriptions

A magazine subscription will make a great gift for any interior design professional, including beginners, students, and design enthusiasts. The choice publications include House Beautiful, Elle Decor, Better Homes and Gardens, and Country Living.
 

Interior Design Sketchbooks and Workbooks

Interior design-specific books - client activity books, sketchbooks, yearly planners, mood board books, and portfolio book journals. These are excellent gifts for beginners and practising designers.
 

Graph Grid Drawing Books

Graph grid books are excellent gifts for interior design students and beginners. They are useful for developing design concepts, drawing art forms, floor plans and elevations, working drawings, and 3D illustrations.
 

Notebooks, Planners, and Journals

Notebooks and journals are great gifts for designers, especially when they are industry-specific. They come with methodically laid-out book interiors and beautiful book covers. Dated and undated planners, diaries, and journals also make fantastic gifts.
 

Colouring Books (for wannabe designers)

Who says colouring books are only for kids? Adults with a feel for Interior decor and home styling will enjoy colouring hand-drawn home and office interior spaces. From kitchens and bedrooms to bathrooms and office interiors, gifting awesome colouring books to interior design enthusiasts is a wonderful idea. They can also inspire ideas for interior design students.
 

Mechanical and Technical Drawing Tools

All designers love all types of drawing and drafting tools. From mechanical pens and pencils to sets of markers, fine-nibbed drawing pens and digital measuring devices, Interior designers love these tools and often use them while carrying out their professional duties. Gift-boxed brass and copper mechanical pencils and brush pens will always be purposeful gifts for students and beginner interior designers.
 

Inspirational and Lifestyle Books

Many interior designers love to read non-interior-design and motivational books. Examples are At Home with Dogs and Their Designers: Sharing a Stylish Life for pet-loving designers who share stylish lives with their precious pets, and Herding Tigers: Be the Leader That Creative People Need, a book that motivates and teaches how to lead by influence instead of leading by control.
 

Software Programs

Technology has allowed interior designers to utilise software programs to create design concepts through 2D and 3D visual drawing presentations. These drawing software are great gifting ideas to beginner designers especially. Today, using software for interior design drawings distinguishes professionals from amateurs. Popular software program choices are SketchUp, SmartDraw, RoomSketcher, and 3D Max.
