On Oct. 10, IDS Long Island held its 2nd annual Swatched2017 event at the beautiful Zicana stone showroom in Westbury, New York. This was a fun filled evening where professional and student interior designers competed before a panel of celebrity judges to create a design board in just one hour.

Molloy Students go pro bono for Interfaith Nutrition Network
The IDS Molloy Student Chapter recently completed the dining room at a homeless shelter for The INN (Interfaith Nutrition Network). Each family shares one room, making the common areas important. The dining room was dark, dreary and not user friendly.
At the ribbon cutting ceremony, the team was informed that “everyone, including the staff, love how the space has turned out and that it now feels more like a home.” The team hopes that the functional, happy, clean and light atmosphere will brighten their days and help give hope for the future. It was truly a labor of love.

The Interior Design Society has joined The Interior Design Continuing Education Council (IDCEC), effective Jan. 1. Click here to learn more.
Information on CEU change for IDS Associate members
As of January 1, 2017, IDS Associate members must earn a minimum of 0.4 (4 hours) approved continuing education units (CEU) each year. Please make note of the following helpful information regarding CEUs and CEU filing to maintain your Associatel level membership in IDS.
IDS bylaws and policies require Professional and Associate members to meet the continuing education requirement. The IDS continuing education requirement is separate from any mandated continuing education requirement in your local jurisdiction. Check with your state regulatory board for requirements.
Filing CEUs
IDS members must utilize the Interior Design Continuing Education Council (IDCEC) registry to file CEUs. Each IDS member must create a free account through IDCEC. Once you have created your IDCEC account, you will receive a unique IDCEC number to login into the IDCEC website (your IDCEC number is different than your IDS member number). The IDCEC user registry allows you to upload and track your continuing education activity as well as store a record for you under your account. Check your IDCEC account regularly to ensure your records are up-to-date. At the end of each CEU cycle, you will be required to submit your IDCEC report to the IDS National office to verify that you have fulfilled your CEU requirement.
Special Circumstances
IDS may grant an adjustment to the requirement for individuals experiencing poor health, certified by a physician; a specific physical or mental disability, certified by an appropriate health care professional; extended duty with the armed forces; or for extreme hardship, which, in the board’s judgment, makes it impossible for the member to comply. Requests for an adjustment to the continuing education requirement must be made at least two months (by October 30) prior to the end of the current reporting period.
Noncompliance
At the end of a reporting period, members who have failed to meet the CEU requirements will be subject to a non-compliance fee ($10 per CEU). Any member who fails to comply with the continuing education requirement, including payment of the noncompliance fee, may be subject to devaluation of Professional membership.

All very dark and moody. Not that we're complaining. We love the new palettes. Pantone has revealed what colors are going to be key in 2019, and we already feel like an interiors shopping trip is on the way. The color of 2018 was voted as feminine Ultraviolet, but next year will see darker tones and more natural hues.

Instagrammable spaces are all the rage. Places that have great colors, patterns, or graphics—ideally situated somewhere people can snap photos of themselves to post on social media—are creating a new type of design cache. These spaces draw both real visitors and virtual “likes” in a way that underscores public appearance and suggests social status can be gained through an appropriate backdrop.

It's the color of royalty, a signal of wealth and power—and interior design's hottest color in 2018. Sure, purple might inspire you to hum a few tunes from (or mourn once more) that musical genius from Minneapolis. But it's also a fresh shade with a strong personality and lots of versatility, says Olivia Rassow, style editor at Birch Lane, an online retailer of furniture and home decor.
