Hi Emery,
Great timing on this question, because as a sophomore you still have plenty of room to shape your schedule. For interior design, your strongest allies are art classes plus anything your school offers in drafting or design, along with geometry and precalculus, since interior design leans heavily on spatial thinking and measurement. For business, take economics, accounting, or an intro business course if your school has one, and keep your math sequence moving forward. A statistics class (AP Stats if it is offered) pays off in both fields more than students expect.
For schools, you are in a good spot: the University of North Texas in Denton has a well-regarded interior design program, and Texas has strong business programs across its public universities. Your job right now is simpler than picking a school: keep your GPA solid and take the most challenging math you can handle well. That keeps every door open junior year.

Talk with your school counselor this semester about building a four-year plan that pairs your math sequence with art or business electives, and ask which AP or dual-credit options your school offers.

For interior design, you may take art, drawing, computer design, photography, and any classes related to architecture or 3D modeling. Math is useful for measuring spaces, planning layouts, and calculating materials. If your school offers drafting or computer-aided design (CAD), that could be especially helpful.
For business, look for classes in accounting, economics, marketing, entrepreneurship, and business management. English and communication classes are useful for presenting ideas, working with clients, and writing proposals. Computer classes, especially spreadsheets and presentation software, can help with both fields.
Keep up with your core subjects, too, because university admission requirements vary. You don't need to take every class listed above; choose the ones your school offers and that fit your schedule.
