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.
Depending upon their credentials, designers may specialize in
residential design, commercial (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 sustainable
(“Environmentally Friendly”) design, may include:
- New construction - Renovation
- Historic renovation - Model homes
