1. Build a super slick website
No-one is going to take you seriously as a designer if you can't even create a website that is extra special. Clients are looking for you to prove to them that you are forward thinking with your design approach and this needs to be reflected across the board, from your website to your outfit and so on. It's worth investing in this area heavily as you start up your interior design business.
2. Do some initial projects for free
You won't get anywhere if you launch a business without images to show off your projects (more on that in a sec). But of course that means you need some projects actually completed in the first place Find 1-3 new clients that are willing to let you work your magic on something and waive your design fee on the basis that you can have full creative control. I mean, no interior design project is ever FULL creative control because at the end of the day you are designing for real people but try and find the perfect client who will be up for your expressing your style.
2. Have stunning photography
Your design work is going to live and die by its photography. You can't launch as an interior designer if you don't have any photography to show off your projects, is as simple as that.

4. Know what you are
Are you an interior architect? An interior designer? Or perhaps an interior decorator? There are big differences between the three and you need to communicate very clearly what clients should expect from working with you. That way you won't end up attracting clients who want you to fully redesign the layout of their home when you just want to work on the decor side of things.
5. Know your ideal client
You have to have an absolute clear cut vision of who your ideal client is. Without this you will NOT be able to communicate that you are the right person for the job and cut through all the middle of the road wishy washy interior designers out there that don't know their own style OR who their ideal client is. Perhaps you will focus on wealthy families in an affluent area. Perhaps your forte is working with cool newly rich creatives in edgy up and coming areas.
6. Don't create a business that isn't sustainable
Please understand that wanting to start an interior design business for those who want 'interior design on a budget' is not going to happen. Those people won't have the money to make it worth your while and you will spend a long time trying to create a design business that won't work.
