This is the website for the Foundation for Interior Design Education Research (FIDER). FIDER provides the foundation for excellence in the interior design profession by setting standards for education and accrediting academic programs that meet those standards. Features accredited interior design programs and more information about interior design education. The organization was established in 1970. The founding organizations were the Interior Design Educators Council (IDEC), the American Institute of Interior Designers (AID), and the National Society of Interior Designers (NSID). AID and NSID merged in 1975 to form the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID). The intent of the founders was to promote excellence by developing standards for interior design education and to acknowledge the increasing demands of an emerging profession.

Indoor Wall Fountains Can Enhance Your Interior Decor
Indoor wall fountains are not just functional; they can also be considered a
work of art. With that in mind, you have the option of buying a pre-designed
version or having one made to your specifications. Interior fountains can be
constructed out of copper, tempered glass, slate, river rock, or pebbles.
Another interesting option is to combine a piece of art that you admire by
such artists as Monet, Renoir, or Picasso with an indoor fountain. Your
space may suit an indoor fountain that is designed to mimic a waterfall, and
if so, you may want to check out one made with tempered glass for a unique
look.
