Interior design is the total creative solution for a programmed interior. It encompasses the conceptual planning, aesthetic and technical solutions applied to achieve the desired result. A “programmed interior” means a specific intended purpose or use of the built environment. Interior design concerns itself with more than just the visual or ambient enhancement of an interior space, it seeks to optimize and harmonize the uses to which the built environment will be put. Thus, in the words of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, it is “practical, aesthetic and conducive to intended purposes, such as raising productivity, selling merchandise, or improving life style.” Interior designers are creative, imaginative and artistic. They also need to be disciplined, organized and skilled business people. Combining knowledge with aesthetic vision, interior designers work with clients and other design professionals to develop design solutions that are safe, functional, attractive and meet the needs of the people using the space.

7. • Interior design is a service which involves much more than
choosing a colour palette or finding the perfect art piece. It
is a methodical process that includes establishing a
relationship with a prospective employer, extensive
research, compilation of a portfolio for illustrative
purposes, the presentation of proposed designs,
contracting labour and supplies, overseeing progress from
start to finish, and finally delivering the agreed upon design
at the designated date. Many people are intimidated by the
prospect of engaging an interior design professional.
Nevertheless, the overwhelming majority of reluctant
consumers agree that the hiring of a designer should
seriously be considered because the results are a
worthwhile investment.
