About IIID

The Indian Institute of Interior Designers (IIID) was established in 1972 and has since grown to become a premier association dedicated to the professional advancement of interior designers across India. The Institute is committed to unifying the community of designers who actively contribute to shaping the interior design profession within the country. IIID focuses on establishing good professional and trade practices, upholding ethical standards among its members, and facilitating the exchange of knowledge with other professional organisations both nationally and internationally. The Institute also encourages collaborations, education, and cultural exchange among designers, fostering their professional growth and promoting design excellence. Our membership framework is unique, it allows for every stake holder of the construction industry and design fraternity to be a part of an extensive collaborative network. Today we are 10,000 members and 35 Chapter & Centres across India with well-defined goals and objectives towards fulfilment of its duties for the fraternity and society at large. Notably, IIID also plays a significant role in the Asia Pacific Space Designers Association (APSDA), representing India’s interests at an international level.
