By Greg Magnus • January 22nd, 2007

Southbury, CT/PR News Release/January 2007: DECOR&YOU® SETS NEW PROFESSIONAL STANDARD FOR INTERIOR DECORATING FRANCHISES IN THE U.S.

Through a new alliance with Certified Interior Decorators International (CIDI), announced today, the interior decorating franchisor Decor&You® has declared more than 130 of its decorators in 30 states eligible for CID® certification in the interior decorating profession. The deal makes Decor&You the first interior decorating franchise in the U.S. where people can become an interior decorating business owner and a professionally certified decorator in a single training program.

Decor&You CEO, Karen Powell, says her company puts people on the fast track to becoming competent small business owners – and talented decorators, who noted,

“We are proud of the fact that Decor & You offers a turn-key business, combined with decorating training, through which every graduate can now obtain CID certification.” CID’s president, Ron Renner, has formally accredited the 200-hour Decor&You training program as conforming to the highest standards of training available in the industry. Renner added, “Fewer than 10% of decorators and designers nationwide hold professional designations.”
