Interior
design is the process of shaping the experience of interior
space, through the manipulation of spatial volume as well
as surface treatment. Not to be confused with interior decoration,
interior design draws on aspects of environmental psychology,
architecture, product design and furniture design in addition
to traditional decoration. An interior designer is a person
who is considered a professional in the field of interior
design or one who designs interiors as part of their job.
Interior design is a creative practice that analyzes programmatic
information, establishes a conceptual direction, refines
the design direction, and produces graphic communication
and construction documents. In some jurisdictions, interior
designers must be licensed to practice.
In general, the interior of something refers to the space
or part inside of it, excluding any kind of wall or boundary
around its outside. It has different, more specific definitions
in different contexts. |
Interior decoration or décor is the art of decorating a room
so that it is attractive, easy to use, and functions well with the
existing architecture. The goal of interior decoration is to provide
a certain "feel" for the room; it encompasses applying
wallpaper, painting walls and other surfaces, choosing furniture
and fittings, such as light fixtures, floorplans and providing other
decorations for the area such as paintings, sculptures and carpets.
Interior decorating is done professionally by certified interior
decorators C.I.D. It is considered a design field. An interior
decorater is a very important job.
There is a distinct difference between interior decorating and
interior design. Interior decorating is generally focused on the
interior items of a space, such as furniture, accesories, finishes,
and layout. Interior design, on the other hand, involves manipulating
the architectural integrity of the interior space.
