It also has numerous connections with other design disciplines, relating to the work of architects, industrial designers, engineers, builders, craftsmen, etc. For these reasons, the us govenment of design standards and qualifications was often utilized in other professional organisations that involved design.[18] Organisations for example the Chartered Society of Designers, established in the UK in 1986, as well as the American Designers Institute, founded in 1938, governed various parts of design.

It hasn't been until later that specific representation for that interior design profession originated. The US National Society of Interior Designers was established in 1957, during the UK the Interior Decorators and Designers Association was established in 1966.
