Entry Level Interior Designer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level interior designer job?
Entry level interior designer roles prioritize a strong portfolio over a long work history, so lead with your best student projects, internship work, or personal design concepts presented in a polished format. Employers at this level also look for proficiency in AutoCAD, Revit, or SketchUp, familiarity with building codes, and the ability to support senior designers through drafting, material sourcing, and client presentations.
Which companies hire entry level interior designers?
Companies hiring entry level interior designers right now include RH, Vesta, and La-Z-Boy, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Hiring at this level covers architecture and design firms, commercial real estate developers, hospitality groups, and home furnishing retailers looking for junior talent to support project teams.
Are there remote entry level interior designer jobs?
Yes, though most entry level roles are on-site or hybrid given the hands-on nature of the work. About 10% of entry level interior designer openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and those positions tend to focus on drafting, mood boarding, sourcing, and design documentation rather than on-site client or contractor coordination.
Are these new grad interior designer jobs?
Yes, these listings include new grad, recent graduate, and junior interior designer roles. A posting is new-grad friendly when it welcomes zero to two years of experience, treats internships or practicum work as qualifying experience, or asks for a portfolio in place of a lengthy employment history. These roles are designed for candidates at the start of their design career, not those managing projects independently.
Which industries hire the most entry level interior designers?
Entry Level interior designer roles concentrate in Retail, Construction & Real Estate, and Technology & Software, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors drive entry level hiring because they run ongoing project pipelines that require junior designers to handle drafting, material selection, and space planning under the guidance of senior team members.
