Interior Designing

What is interior designing?

Interior designing  is often understood as interior decoration. However, interior designing  actually concerned about giving functional and aesthetic  appearance to the  interior spaces, be they are individual houses, public buildings and commercial properties such as shops, restaurants,  offices and malls.  Interior designing is relevant in case of temporary establishments also, whether they are shops  or exhibitions, which exist only for a few days. The set designing also involves a good amount of interior designing.  Interior designing can be applied to fresh and newly created spaces or those  spaces which are existing and  need redesigning and modification.

Human sensations are the result of senses perceiving and experiencing  sound, smell and touch. Interior designing  produces a feeling which is both intellectually fulfilling and  humanistically satisfying.  Interior designing respects the enclosed  structure and its context, employs sensory stimuli, manipulates the three dimensional space, recognises the importance of light for designing a space and deploys materials and light as integral components of designed environments.

The imaginative  and  intelligent use of light,  colour, texture,  pattern and space is fundamental to interior designing.  Most interior designers concern themselves with all aspects of   space planning and  designing and work  right  from choosing different colour schemes and  selecting interior finishes such as wall panelling, flooring,  furniture and furnishings.  Interior  architects  step  into architect's domain, shaping the structure of the space itself as well as decorating it, and thus overcoming the uncertainties of  interior design and interior decoration.

Why is interior designing important?

Interior designing aims at achieving appropriate spatial and functional experience.  It  will not only make a space look and function better, it can have a significant impact on the lifestyle of  the people living in that space.  The application of refreshing and energizing colour schemes, beautifully designed furniture,  appropriate furnishings, and the imaginative use  of light and space,  make a real difference to how we live and feel in  designed interior environment.

The more dull spaces such as shops, banks, showrooms, malls, restaurants,  schools, hospitals, factories displaying  brand values are benefited from creative interior designing,  as healthy and delighting workplaces improve the productivity of the  workforce. Light, acoustics and ventilation are important for creating a healthy environment, which is profitable for the businesses. 

In all spaces, whether  they are public or private,  residential or commercial, living or working -  interior design can be applied  to reflect the status, ambition and taste of the inmates, and to engage the attention of the visitors.  At the end of everything , the interior designing  will and should enhance the value of the property also.
