Member Recognition
The BIID gives out several awards to recognise the achievements of those who have achieved interior design excellence and those who have contributed to the development of the profession.
Honorary Fellowship
The British Institute of Interior Design (BIID) introduced Honorary Fellowships in 2012 to recognise those who have had a profound impact on the development and success of the interior design profession. We believe it is important to show our gratitude to those who do not meet our membership criteria yet inspire, enrich and influence the interior design profession in significant ways. These figures come from a range of different fields, including of other design disciplines, such as fashion, graphic or product design, professional bodies, photography and landscape. Find out more about previous winners.
Merit Award
The Merit Award is presented each year to a Member of the Institute who has achieved excellence in interior design practice, contributed to the development of the Institute and/or in the wider field of design education. The nominee should have a proven track record of interior design projects, have made a positive contribution to the BIID and be well respected in the industry.
