What Professionals
are saying:

“As NCIDQ and the professional associations IIDA, ASID, ICD and IDEC have been working to raise the bar for the interior design profession, other associations have been focusing on establishing credentials for the decoration industry. Any industry that decides to create guidelines and raise the professionalism of its industry deserves commendation – and the decoration community deserves no less."

Founded in 1997 by distinguished interior designer Ron Renner, Certified Interior Decorators International (C.I.D.) is dedicated to individuals who have the talent and seek educational training and the required testing to become recognized as "Certified" professionals in the interior decorating industry. In the early 90's Mr. Renner conceived the idea and concept of "CERTIFYING" interior decorators since there was much confusion at that time about the difference between designers and decorators and the educational requirements for either. CID became a dual purpose professional membership association and "the" certifying body to accredit and certify interior decorators for the first time in history.

C.I.D. members are increasing their income potential and buying power. Consumers are responding by hiring them for all their decorating needs. Many C.I.D. professionals are opening their own decorating shops while others are enjoying working from home studios either part time or full time. Furniture stores are recruiting C.I.D. professionals to increase sales potential realizing that consumers are seeking the "new breed" of trained and CERTIFIED INTERIOR DECORATORS.
Membership in C.I.D. allows individuals to be recognized by the consumer, the trade, and wholesale showrooms as trained and tested professionals with C.I.D. designation and credentials.
