My definition of Interior Design


In my opinion there are various components of a human public or private dwelling. These are: the structure, the interior, and the decoration. The architect is responsible for designing a structure that meets the needs of the client and also fits into the natural environment. The interior designers are in charge of designing the interior spaces of the structure created by the architect. The decorator is who brings different decorative objects, like picture frames, sculptures, or indoor plants in order to finish the embellishment of that interior. As an interior design student, I have learned and I am still learning about interior design and the way in which to improve the designing of interiors for the public.
To me Interior design is a solution to a need; it is an improvement to human lifestyle. Interior design is an artificial environment that brings the natural environment through its openings. It is also the creation of a protective environment for humans. Interior design is creating environments in which people can interact with, and in order to perform their tasks they need all components such as lighting, furniture, and privacy levels. Interior design is the connection between humans and the structure. It is a responsibility with people because interiors need to be harmonious in the sense of safety and well-being of the public. Interior design is also a psychological practice since the factors of humans are another aspect to incorporate when designing an interior environment.
Finally, I think that interior design is a great profession because interior designer’s not only creates a functional and aesthetically pleasing but also impacts society by designing safe spaces and creating environmental stewardship awareness.

  1. I truly agree with what you define Interior Design as, yet I wish more people could understand it that way. There is so much more to designing the interior than just picking out paint colors, and you have represented that well. I believe that it is up to us, as the interior designers of the future, to educate the public about what we really do as a profession.

  2. It would be great if everyone could read this explanation of interior design. It would really change a lot of people's perspectives on interior design and how it differs from interior decoration.
