Unique Design Niches

Interior designers come in all shapes and sizes and I’m sure many you know, like yourself, may specialize in kitchen and bath or whole home. But what other niches are out there? The most recent niche to emerge is what I call the quarantine niche. Designers are designing homes with more recreational and entertaining space, more separation and sanitation and more comfort for those quarantined at home either alone or with other family members.

I thought it would be fun just to research other design niches that we often don’t think about on a day-to-day basis and this is what I found.

Aviation design – There are interior designers who specialize in private jet design. This type of design is very challenging and extreme as you must be great with working with small spaces and working with all the codes that aircraft interior design entails.

Yacht design – Although you could be working with more space than a private jet, this type of design is still challenging and requires knowledge of naval architecture and marine engineering.

Airstream design – The other day I came across an interior designer on Instagram who specialized in Airstream interior design. Again, another change in our economy was the number of people who purchased RVs this spring and summer. Some of them have great bones but need an interior designer to create the luxurious and comfortable environment the owner wants.

She Shed design – There are people who specialize in She Sheds, Man Caves, Playhouses and all sorts of rooms away from the home type structures. There are so many interesting options when it comes to this type of design.

Limo design – Yes, there are people who design the interiors of limousines! I didn’t realize it until I did the research how crazy and luxurious limos can get. There are some that have narrow pools in them.

What other fun design niches can you come up with?
