About us
Founded in 1972, Interior Designers of Canada (IDC) is the national advocacy association for the interior design profession. As national representative for eight provincial associations, IDC represents more than 3,500 members including fully qualified interior designers, intern/provisional members (who have yet to pass their exams), student, educator and retired members as well as industry members. Our practising members work globally in all areas of interior design including residential, corporate/commercial, institutional, retail, hospitality, and health care and meet the highest standards of education, experience and examination. Our future designers are trained at one of the many colleges and universities that offer interior design programs across Canada. As of 2010, the standard to join a provincial association in Canada is three years of interior design education from a recognized college or university (or its foreign equivalent). This minimum standard will increase to a baccalaureate degree as of January, 2012. Our industry members represent more than 250 manufacturers and suppliers who support the work of interior design professionals including furniture, seating, carpet, lighting, paint, and wall covering manufacturers. The Association is grateful to its industry members who help fund programs and services through their direct membership and advertising and sponsorship programs. ...

IDC Member Project "Ronald McDonald House Manitoba" by Lindsay Imlah of ft3 Architecture Landscape Interior Design "The concept of a home away from home guided our design for the new Ronald McDonald House Manitoba, which supports out-of-town families with children who require hospital treatment. We focused on creating spaces that evoke feelings of home, including a living room with a fireplace, smaller kitchens in the dining area, and amenities such as a games room, theatre, and craft area. Families needed to have equity and functionality within the space, especially for those who would remain in the building long-term. We used the client’s brand colours, yellow, blue, and grey, for accents on the main floor and wayfinding throughout the residential floors. In the lobby and the kitchen, hints of these hues are in the lighting fixtures, finishes, millwork, upholstery, and accent walls. Play also influenced the design of the House. A two-story high play structure greets families upon arrival, anchoring the building to the site and providing a comforting sight to children requiring hospital care."
