How do Cultures Influence Color
Clint Craven, Designer Account Executive
Co-Sponsored by Sherwin Williams, Interior Design Society and IMC-DesignOnHPMkt
Suites at Market Square Seminar Room (SAMS T-1014)
This course will begin with the exploration of diverse cultures and how color is perceived by these potential clients. We will identify the historical significance of color families and in conclusion, view and compare cultural similarities and disparities among color families. The goal is to assist designers in making better educated choices relating to color selection and taking into consideration the inhabitants of these multicultural environments. Join us for an exploration of cultures, historical significance, similarities and differences and how these have a global impact on color. (0.1 CEU)

Sallie Kjos, from South Riding, VA, is our September Member Spotlight! Read more about her design journey here.
“Growing up, I was always influenced by the design world, so much so, it blended into my life pretty seamlessly. My dad worked on restoring vintage cars & building houses. He would always quiz me on the color pallets used and how to get the perfect shade of whatever color I could imagine plus style of homes with detailed information. Pair that with my aunt’s store, named the English Cottage (my family is from England), and I was already half way to being a designer! It was here I would obsess over the antiques, home décor items, and whatever knick knacks I could get my hands on to make my own styled displays.”
In their words, “MAISON&OBJET is the international authority for home decor, interior design, architecture and lifestyle culture and trends through its shows, events and its digital platform.” Vendors from 100 different countries around the world come to Paris and showcase the highest-quality options in design, while also celebrating new designers and rising talents and share projected trends. I was very happy to learn of the availability for group travel arrangements through IDS and couldn’t resist the opportunity to attend and fulfill my Parisian design dreams.

In London, the fair’s 68 exhibitors, in a gigantic white tent on Berkeley Square, will be primarily specialists in modern and vintage furniture, lighting, ceramics and jewelry, with fewer than 10 showing modern art.

Arielle Assouline-Lichten had her eureka moment when she was sitting at her desk, staring at a piece of recycled rubber. The material was intended to line the floor of a gym her architecture firm was designing, but Assouline-Lichten thought it could be something else. A coaster. Or maybe even a table. She began sketching out prototypes and pretty soon, Slash Objects was born.

Maureen Footer is an interior designer and an expert on French decorative arts. With her inquisitive eye and her knowledge of the decorative arts, she has woven a colorful story in a new book that traces the working relationship between Dior, Victor Grandpierre and Georges Geoffrey, and how the regal and understated — but still rooted in the French tradition — aesthetic (gray and white and an abundance of flowers) of Maison Dior came to be.

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.
