The History of
Interior Decoration
Early Egypt
Interior
decoration dates back to ancient times, as
people have decorated as early as they had
houses. The first signs of purposeful interior decoration were evidenced in the lavishly decorated
Egyptian tombs. Romans also carefully arranged their rooms based on the
function of the room and the time of year. In the summer they used rooms that
took advantage of breezes, and different rooms in the winter that gave extra
protection from the cold.
Renaissance Period
During
the Italian Renaissance, wealthy people became interested in the arts and began
to commission artists to work in their homes. Function, form and decadence were
the major themes in the palaces of the wealthy. Interior decoration along with
designing reached its heights during this period.
Early American
Early
American decorating was mostly homemade as people were inspired by the homes of
the wealthy. Artisanship and function were the mainstays of this design period.
Industrial
Revolution
The
dawn of industry made interior decorating available to the many. Cheaper home
goods and decorating items such as wallpaper, household paints and fabrics caused middle-income families to
be more interested in interior design and decoration.
Modern Times
Interior
decoration today is available to people
of every income group and level of
skill. Interior decoration has become so
popular that shows are shown even on
television to teach people how to
decorate on their own, and the interior
decorators are catering to the middle
income groups as well as the rich. Modern decorating styles encompass
styles of all of the previous periods of interior decoration and designing.
