A Place to Grow

Welcome to the new Interior Design Society (IDS), an independent national organization more than 3,000 members strong. One of the country's largest design organizations dedicated to serving the residential interior design industry, the Interior Design Society offers members community, education and business support. The IDS National headquarters is located in High Point, NC, the world's home furnishings capital.

Founded in 1973 by the National Home Furnishings Association (NHFA) to support interior designers based within furniture stores, the Interior Design Society has long since expanded its focus. All qualified residential design professionals,

including those who work in a retail environment, are welcome and encouraged to join IDS as an adjunct to their classroom education.

Welcome to new possibilities, new opportunities and a host of organizational improvements intended to make IDS membership all the more valuable and personally rewarding for all members.

OUR MISSION:  To strengthen and grow the Interior Design Society by providing its members with valuable education, resources, programs, and services to aid them in their path to professionalism in residential interior design.
