Notes on the Interior Design Profession
Interior Design is a multi-faceted profession in which
creative and technical solutions are applied within a
structure to achieve a built interior environment. These
are functional, enhance the occupants' quality of life and
culture and are aesthetically attractive. Designs are
created in response to and coordinated with the building
shell, and acknowledge the physical location and social
context of the project.
Designers may specialize in residential design, commer-
cial (or, contract) design, or both. Residential interior
design, or the design for private homes, may focus upon:
- Design scheme - Furnishings Installation - Project
planning - Project budgeting
- Professional design team coordination
- Project planning - Project specifications & purchasing
Specialty areas for the home may include:
- Kitchen and bath design - Home theater design
- Home office design - Custom product (furnishings,
built-in cabinetry, etc.) design
Interior projects, with expertise in universal and sustain-
able (or, “Environmentally Friendly”) design, may include:
- New construction - Renovation
- Historic renovation - Model homes
