 By consolidating the designation of "Interior Designer," it is thought that it will enhance consumer protection by reducing confusion in the marketplace.Only ARIDO members can legally use the designation of "Interior Designers", but there is no law to prevent unqualified individuals from practicing interior design nor is it a legal requirement to belong to ARIDO in order to offer interior design services.ARIDO members voluntarily join the association and agree to adhere to their standards of practice and code of ethics.
