Agreed, most people confuse Interior Decorating with Interior Design. Completely different scopes of work with only a few similarities.
Hey,are you a designed?
Finally a decent interior design CZcams channel that realistically shows what we do! Love your content! Please start sharing your outfits and accessories details with us. It's gorgeous!
I want to be an interior designer when I am older. Sometimes I have thoughts where I wont be good enough but I try my best to push them away. I love your videos, and I know I am kinda young but I am excited to see where I go in the future.
How old are you right now
same
Rainab ZK I take interior design classes right now and my dad works as a designer at Gensler so I’m pretty much set, plus I do have talents in this field
good luck
Haley Cornelius I’m taking interior design this upcoming school year (my senior year), I recently did a career research about interior design and believe me tho I do not know you I believe you will be good at interior design
One of the things I love most about these buildings is how passionate most architects and clients about incorporating 's didn't know anyone that could do it until I came across Snugverse designers who are truly profound in their thinking.
i am 13 years old and my current dream job is being an interior designer! this video really helped me to see the actual perspective of what it is like to be an interior designer. thank u so much! new sub. ;D
xaquitaine I’m only 12 and this is also my dream :) I hope to see ur dream come true :)
@@kissmeplss1476 Right back at you. c:

Good luck!

I don’t understand how you don’t have way more subscribers. Your channel is like the best thing I’ve ever seen on youtube. And I’m not even into interior design. Just the realness, the boss talk and the real life stuggle of a worman in business.... EVERYTHING 😍. #frenchsubscriber
AurelieKa Hi! Awe, you’re so sweet. This is the best comment ever! Thank you so much for watching my videos... I’m so happy to hear that you’re loving my content. Thank you! ❤️ xK
I'm trying to figure out my major for college. Interior Design is one of my three choices
In which college u get your admission done
same girl
Same I have 3 too
Same.
I'm so inspired by these videos you're putting out. Honestly, university and a classroom environment was ruining my love for interior design but watching these are making me so excited about what's to come once I graduate in July!
Oh gosh so jelly u will be done... i havnt even applied yet i have such a long road ahead...
I understand how you feel, studying interior design in uni is like hell. Working will be so much better. At least you get paid for all the sleepless night and get to see how the project would look in reality.
Hi, I am thinking of studying interior design. Why is unpleasant to study in university? Can you please explain thank you
YES! Thank you Karin for this video. As a young interior architecture student, I find your videos so informing and interesting that it just gets me so excited for my career one day! Thank you and keep up the content, absolutely love it!
Tess Vujovic Hi Tess! Thanks so much for watching my videos!! 🙏🏼 I’m thrilled to hear that you’re feeling inspired by them! ❤️❤️
Hey can I have any of your social media I have a lot to ask you about your diploma please ? 😊
Just stumbled on your videos.....it's so rare to see someone who is transparent,gets to the REAL thing.....not just showing the whitewashed version of interior designing......💕💕💕💕💕
jennie sui Right?! So true!! xK
Karin Bohn .....yes...ur right.....😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
I've recently graduated with my BA in Psychology and realized that Interior Design is my true passion. I really appreciated your video because I've been nervous about going back to school and feeling like I won't be good enough or creative enough to pursue my passion. Thank you for posting the reality side!!
I cant choose between psychology and interior design...
@@Growing_foodie-y4e Both are great careers. I found out that although I wanted to be a marriage and family therapist/child development, I couldn't see myself constantly doing therapy and being able to disassociate myself from that person's trauma/problems. Obviously the more schooling you go through and experience you have, it gets better over time. I found that while I LOVED learning psych (and you can use that degree for many different things), I am a more creative person and interior design just spoke to me :). While psych is all about behaviors and mental illnesses, its also learning just how to talk to people in reality
@@elysiache5041 Like I said, I pursued my Psych degree until I finished but I am for sure going back to school for my design degree. you're never too young to change your major/career!! Don't feel forced to stick with one thing in college/life and then hate what you're doing career wise :)
Courtney, I am right there with you! Got a BS in psych to pursue chiropractic and quickly found out this wasn’t for me anymore. Trying to decide if interior design or something like graphic design is what I should pursue next and go back to school for. So glad I’m not the only one! Good luck 😊
I really like to see the focus on design process. Not just because I find it interesting from a creative perspective (space planning, finishes, client profile.. and all the reasoning behind each decision! YAY!) but also because it shows to people who don't know or understand the full scope of work and complexity interior design work. Designers don't enter into a place and magically know how the space will look like or how it will work better, it takes time to consider all the variables and how they affect the whole thing. Really liked this one!:)
Question: Do you know from experience/education what you can and can't do in terms of building work, or you always consult with a builder during the process of evaluating all the possibilities for a space? Or it simply depends on the space?
i am 16 and trying to find out what i want to be when i am older, and this inspires me greatly. i’ve always been so interested interior designing, fashion, art, music, all fun things like that. so thanks for this video, it’s inspiring.
Your videos are very inspirational! I am an aspiring Interior Design Student and watching you do your thing and building your brand is magical and very exciting. You are real and relatable which I love! Thanks for sharing your life ❤
Thank you for showing the “real” side of interior design! I do residential redesigns with an emphasis on layout, furniture, window treatments & color. What people outside the process don’t get is how complicated it all is! There are so many moving parts!
You are so business driven. Thank you so much for posting. They are very helpful. I hope your business grows even more in the following years 🙏🏻
I truly miss these one on one days in the office, even though it was small. Its was the very beginning of your team and that growth has been awesome to watch but it brings me tears to watch the old days...
Thank you for sharing your point of view of being an interior designer! You're so encouraging and inspirational. I want to be just like you!
Loved this @karinbohn! I love that you show the reality of interior design. I’d rather see you go through the process then jump to the end result. I’ve done a bit of interior consulting (can’t really call myself a designer since i haven’t done the schooling for it yet) but people actually think they’re Reno’s are like a HGTV show and it’s not all like that. So i love that you share this raw reality of the time, energy and planning it takes to pick a faucet all the way to picking a cabinet door. Entrepreneurship is a choice and it’s a great choice, I totally agree though with you that it’s ALOT of work and things just don’t happen overnight. You inspire me sooo much, I’ve been huge follower of your work. Maybe after I’m done at BCIT I’ll apply at your firm. I would love to learn from someone who’s so raw, passionate and talented like you. In the meantime I’m a fan of all your work and i watch all your videos! Love and many blessings Karin!
Thinking about going back to school for interior design and this really made me fall in love with what the reality of that path would look like!
YESSS! Thank you for clarifying for some people that don’t understand what interior design/architecture consists of!
Can’t wait to see more of the design process and get an inside look! Have been searching for some video content on this. You can always view a finished product but no one shares the process that gets you there. Thank you Karin and team, very valuable information for me. I can’t wait for the next Bohnafide video as well! ❤️
Hi Karin, I am a degree qualified interior designer from Australia and I am so pleased you are painting the real picture and complicated process of being an interior designer. The thing I related to what you said is your “male client was exactly the most hip” and yet you want to be as current as you can with design detail. Greatly appreciate your time in doing these. X
Thank you for this video!!! I’ve been interested in Interior Design for Years, but took up cosmetology back in 2010 for the ease thru high school.
Now I’m ready to go back to school! And I love to see the reality of what I’m choosing !
All the best and God bless you 😊
I watched your videos and i finally decide to study interior design for my next year thank you so much for inspiring me 💕
Your videos are always so beautiful and inspiring !!! I just love watching them and often recommend them to my friends! Thanks Karin for sharing your small glimpse of design process!
Glad I’m currently taking business studies class in high school as it ties in with interior design nicely. Thank you for showing me the different aspects and processes of the job, not just the creative side of it. This inspired me so much!
Please keep these videos coming!! I love learning about the field outside of school :)
These videos make me so happy. You and your team are so great, warm and I've learned a lot from this channel. So inspiring. I love that you add a personal touch by letting us see your home reno. Keep up the good work, lady! ❤❤🇨🇦
Luv that you take the time to explain the time elements of projects that are ongoing. Yes, we are use to the Hgtv version where in an hour we have a finished product. But we are all with you as long as you are here, and would luv to see all the stages and end projects ;-)
I've recently graduated in architecture and work in an architects firm atm but have always wanted to have an insight into the interiors side. Your vlogs are perfect, thank you for taking your time out to film everything. In addition for showing how everything in industry, is not just all glitz and the glam.
Thank you for this. Biggest passion is to become a Interior Designer. You're my role model *
Thank you !! These kinds of videos you do are so helpful.. wish more designers did more videos like you , on real interior design.
Great content! Thanks for keeping it real and giving us actual insight.
So inspiring! Pls bring back these type of videos! I love the wisdom
It is so true, that's to make an interior project is not only to choose wall paint and pillows! Great, that you talk about this 🤍
Just found your channel and totally hooked! Thanks for posting! 💕
These videos are awesome! It would be interesting to hear more from the other designers in your office (even the interns) - just to see more of a day to day for them as well. Love your content! Keep up the great work (:
A very informative insight into the industry. Thank you for this!
This video really confirmed wether I have made the right deciscion or not. So excited to get in to a Swedish Interior Architect school. Great video. Can't find a better one here on youtube. I like that it's more like a documentary.
Wow the difference in camera is suuuper noticeable!! Everything looks crazy sharp! Awesome video as always ❤️ btw where is your dress from? I love it! Looks beautiful ❤️
Hello Karin! I know that I am really lat commenting on this but I'm soooooo glad that I found your channel! I'm a teen but my goal in life is to become an interior designer! You are such an inspiration! Thank you so much for your content!
Im actually looking to go to school for interior design this video definitely helped a lot
I got a bit anxious with the no-hands driving. Lol. Anyway, great video, very informative and helpful!
I loved the vibe of this one!! 💕
I am so envious! Hopefully, self-driving cars will be available for me soon.
Your videos/blogs are perfect! I love the technical parts, the design process, and the Journey that it takes to finish a project. It’s hard to come by that info especially outside of school. This emphasizes why we aren’t decorators, and people tend to confuse that. No HGTV here please lol 🧡🧡
Not only does this video have information, it also had amazing editing ❤
Hi. I'm just about to be graduated from college and my brother suggested me about this field. I was still confused and I actually thought that "interior design = interior decoration" until I stumbled on this video. You cleared all of my doubts and I'm more than interested. I really hope i make it. Thanks a bunch 💜🤗
I love you guys for doing this.
you're right that a lot of people think interior designers do only the decoration, the work includes also a lot of researching and informing about the client, technical drawings, material choices, specifications, technological cards and so much more that may take more time than the client wants
Keep it up girl. You and your team are amazing.
Amazing video as always!! Love you guys! ❤️❤️
I'm interior architecture student, and i find my self lost my interest in this field bcs i think the way of "design thinking" in interior architecture more complicated and more macro than in the interior design. Then I saw your video, I learn much about how interior designer works in daily basis. I love it. I think I'll change my path into interior design. Thankyou for your inspiration!
Favorite video! The misconception is unfortunate for interior designers and is especially frustrating to me personally. These videos are making me so excited for my future career and I can only hope to be as successful and talented as you are 😌
Not sure if you’ve already talked about this but you could you talk about your career journey like where you started and how you got to this point? I love your videos btw ❤️
I am currently getting my bachelors degree in Interior Design. I'm looking for an internship this summer and your video makes me so much more hopeful and excited about my future in interior design. Thank you so much for sharing your professional life, you inspire me!
Megan Bevan I’m in high school and would also like to pursue Interior design, how had your path been? Is it stressful? Are you enjoying it? How long till your gonna start making money? Good luck with whatever you do!
@@SultanAbusaif Soon I'm graduating with a bachelors in interior design. I personally went to university with a four year program, the first year I would say was a time waste to be completely honest. It was a lot of theory that no one remembers anymore, but every year after that was great and filled with a lot of useful information and practice. I personally enjoy it, and find that it's perfect for me. However, a lot of people have dropped out, because it is much more difficult than what people expect. There is a lot of theory, a lot of lectures, a loooot of out of class studio time, and a love technical aspects to every project. You have to write specs, know how to use software such as Autocad, Revit, Sketchup, Photoshop, and Lumion (which is a constant learning and lots and lots of hours spent in them). But I love all of that.
p.s. excuse my English, it's not my first language :)
Very inspiring lessons...I like and admire the good work you are doing as a woman...I just wish I can get a chance to learn more.
I have earlier followed you in the Netflix series: Restaurant on the Edge. Needless to say, you have a very strong personality and you are very much fit on your vlogs pertaining to the: The Reality of Interior Design. Now that you are showing your office as I have watched lately in CZcams, maybe showing the rest of your office would need some refinement particularly by making it presentable and without clutters as you are in the business of making most of the spaces in order and pleasant to your customers’ eyes. Sophie Paterson an interior designer also can be sen in CZcams is one of the the good example when it comes to showing her office environment. I am wishing you all the best!
This is amazing. I'm a current ID student and this would be my dream
Panasonic GH5 is a great camera. Really good choice. Make sure to get the 12-35mm lens if you haven't already.
Video was perfect.
I really love this video because it really shows everyone the reality about interior design, where there are a lot of misconceptions about it. Btw, I'm currently an interior design student (also makes youtube videos lmao) like heck yea, getting through this industry is really hard but it is very fulfilling whenever you finish something! :)
It didn't show anything but her face the entire video.
OMG this episode was incredible!! Can you make them half hr i stead of 9-12 min? Just when i get so into it , it has to end :-((PLEASE PLEASE come toronto to do a meet n greet i will move mountains to come see u!! Please! One request i have for ur vids, is to film the process of an initial consultation with a potential clients. That first meeting where its just abt the ideas and concepts they want to pursue. For ppl who are not yet in the design industry, but are getting there (like myself) thisis such a crucial part of the project. We LOVE ❤️ u karin! Ur so talented so fantastic!!!!
superisraelichick Hi!! You are so adorable!! Thank you so much! I’m so happy to hear that you’re loving my content. Thanks for your video request. It’s hard to make a video with client so early in the process because I’m very limited with what I can film during the early stages with a client.
But that said - maybe I can do a different type on video. That touches on the same topic. Thanks again for watching my content! ❤️ xK
watched it for one minute and immediately noticed your canadian accent 😍❤️
When you're driving with no hands, it really freaks me out! LOL. xx
Erana Breitmeyer I think she's holding the steering wheel at the bottom.
It is absolutely beautiful and knowledge content! I want to say you, thank you!
And I have a question, what was your education for interior designer? Thank you!
Karin. Possible to expose some angry or disapppointed client moments to keep this on high octane. Everybody loves a bit of drama in life and in business, living it and of course watching it.
Andrew Tan Hi Andrew. That’s quite the request!! Haha. I have no problem exposing some of those moments... however, I do have to be sensitive to clients and respect what they wish to have and not have exposed. I’ll see if I can include something like that one of these days though. Thanks for watching! 🙏🏼💋
Ugh my song “imagination “ was playing in the background ❤️
I might just be a freshman but I’m so into this and interested in this and I know that what I want to be might change but this is something I and really considering
Rosanna Marie ew we got fresh meat in here
Loved this one, Karin :) i am impressed by the samples library in your office, can you feature it in a video and show how you make it functional and aesthetic ?
Also, i noticed you print out mood boards on A3s, is it better for you than digital boards?
What does that mean? A3?
paper size :)
@@NikeaMalcolm A3 is 2x A4's . A4 is standard letter size
Hi new subscriber from philippines
I like this vlog already . I am a senior high school student and I wanted to be a interior designer also because i love designing a houses. :)
I'm intermediate interior design student and I'm sooooo happy you show us the interior designers daily life which is a motivation for me to see interior designers career life. Can you please make a video introduce each member on this team and their role. Thank you , love you💕
oh my god woman HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL!! xD
As a client, a year to two years seems like an unreasonable timeframe considering that’s how long construction lasts at most.
I’m a creative people person. I play interior design games for fun on my phone. I started out going to college taking art courses for graphic design. But I’m just not into that kind of art anymore and I wanna change my major. I’ve done it for song long, I just wanna move on to other things. Interior design interests me. But idk if it is just something I admire and enjoy or if it’s a new passion I could have. Idk what to do with my life anymore 😅😭
Hi Karin. Love the content. I find it so inspiring. Super beneficial. I am going into my interior architecture and design program soon and all the light you are shedding on this industry is great.
I wanted to ask...I love your style of design and wanted to know how did you build your brand? The brand of Karin Bohn.
Michelle Samuels Hi Michelle! Thanks so much for watching my videos!! 🙏🏼 I love hearing that you find them inspiring, so thank you. I love your question about building my personal brand as well... it’s a big question so maybe I’ll try to answer that in another video! ❤️ xK
I was originally going to go for interior design...I was playing around with that idea at one point and slightly still am.
same life, other field (architect in the field of shop design) BUT one question: why arent zu doing 3D with Computer (3dsmax, sketchup?) -> it takes longer at the beginning, but with changes ure way faster in the end...
PS: great videos, thy
Hello, thank you very much for share really good and realistic video . I found your video very useful . I would like to ask a question if you don’t mind, are you in Vancouver? Because I think I captured some pictures from downtown Vancouver through your video. Thanks for replying.
This has always been my dream job ! I don’t know where to start can you give me some guidance?
PLEASE HELP: I am deciding between two different colleges that have different design programs. One of them has an Interior Design program and one has a interior architecture program. I need insight about the differences between the two and also which would be better to go into if I want a successful career as an interior designer.
Thank you for taking time to read and respond:)
yes this camera is so much better, whtever you're doing, keep doing it!
Karin what do you keep in that big bag, have always been curious
how long does it take to get on your level for interior designing
Where do the rings on your right hand come from? I LOVE them.
AND your dress too!
I find it hard to transfer the idea in my head to my staff and those who are around me. Do you find it challenging to project the picture or the image and the idea in your head to your designers and staff? Is there any of your staff that is more connected to you and reads you the best?
Am I the only one curious to what Karin was having for breakfast? Lol Love these videos
I m student of interior design from India and my favourite style is industrial type interior design , and I practice on industrial design by my self and my my skill is Sketching, do I work abroad after my degree ? I mean which are the main country who gonna hire Indian interior designers ?
Hello.. anybody suggest me a best university for interior design in canada?
I wish to be an interior stylist, I’ve a strong passion for it, I love the classic French style with a mix of contemporary! I love adding warmth to spaces...❤️
And I have a LAW degree! Can anyone help with ground level tips?

Where is Corrina's sweater from????
Bonjour Karin, We know your life today. But how was it when you first started out? You would have been doing all the interior design yourself, that would have been mostly your day? I'd love to know really how is it in the first couple of years when you stepped out on your own. I'm not in the same industry as you but both our industries are creative, technical and very hands on.
Why did you wanted to be a interior design ? What do you currently like doing in this job ?
Who has more value an architect with interior design specialization or Bdes in interior
does anyone know if you need physics in high school to become an interior designer
Hi Karin. I just wanted to ask. What if you don't have enough skills to be an interior designer but i really want to be an interior designer what would you do?? Thank you so much 😊
You can always learn skills. If you are interested in the field, it should come naturally.
I have soo many questions. What majors should I major in for college. I wan’t to pursue interior design but I have absolutely no idea where to start or what to do! Help please!
Taylor Cutler their is an interior design major for interior design and other design majors
Heyy karin I am an ig student and I am really intrested in being an interior designer but I do suck at drawing so will this affect my career and what is the key for being a successful interior designer
Menna Sherif hi there, i found out being artistic is not a major nessecity drawing could be important for an interior decorator but a little bit of art skill would be great
