Five Star Gift Ideas

If your son is passionate about interior design, there are plenty of meaningful and personal gift options to inspire and support his interests. Here are a few ideas to consider:

1. Interior Design Books: Explore a wide range of interior design books that cover different styles, techniques, and tips. Look for books written by renowned interior designers or those that focus on specific areas of interest, such as color theory, furniture design, or sustainable design.

2. Magazine Subscription: Surprise him with a subscription to a popular interior design magazine. This will provide him with fresh inspiration, industry trends, and informative articles on various design topics.

3. Online Design Courses: Consider enrolling your son in an online interior design course or workshop. This will allow him to further develop his skills and learn from experienced professionals at his own pace. Many platforms offer courses specifically tailored to different levels of expertise and interests.

4. Interior Design Software: Gift your son with a subscription to interior design software to help bring his ideas to life. These software programs allow him to create realistic, 3D visualizations of his designs, experiment with different layouts, and even create virtual walkthroughs.

5. Mood Board Kit: Help your son express his creativity by putting together a mood board kit. Include items such as a corkboard, pins, magazines, fabric swatches, paint samples, and design inspiration books. This kit will allow him to create physical mood boards, which can serve as a visual representation of his ideas and provide inspiration for future projects.

6. Shop Accessories: If your son enjoys decorating spaces, surprise him with decorative accessories that he can use to enhance his bedroom or personal space. This could include unique wall art, funky lighting fixtures, stylish throw pillows, or eye-catching rugs – all to help him experiment with different design elements.

7. Visit to Design Exhibitions or Trade Shows: Consider taking your son to design exhibitions or trade shows. These events provide great opportunities to discover the latest trends, meet industry experts, and gain exposure to a variety of design styles and products.

8. Architectural Magazines: Expand your son's perspective beyond interior design by gifting him architectural magazines. These publications often discuss innovative building designs, architectural styles, and cutting-edge construction techniques. This will help him understand the relationship between interior design and architecture.

9. Internship or Job Shadowing Opportunity: If your son is at an age where he is considering a career in interior design, try arranging an internship or job-shadowing experience with an experienced interior designer. This hands-on experience will provide him with invaluable insights into the industry and allow him to see the day-to-day workings of an interior design studio.

Ultimately, the best gift will depend on your son's particular interests and aspirations within the world of interior design. By choosing a gift that aligns with his passion, you are not only supporting his love for interior design but also showing him that you believe in his dreams and are invested in his growth and happiness.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.

“The map was absolutely beautiful! My grandson was thrilled with it (it was a Christmas gift) and has already asked me if I would consider getting another one for him as a graduation gift in a couple of years.”
