An interior decorator is someone who gives shape to our dreams. They design
the most fine-looking homes; offices etc and make our surroundings look
beautiful. They understand your requirement, imagine it and then create
it.
Interior Designing involves the designing and coordinating of the decorative
elements of the interior of a house, apartment, office or other structural
space, including colour scheme, fittings, furnishings and sometimes architectural
features. It is concerned with designing living space in a manner that is
aesthetically appealing as well as functionally useful.
As an Interior Designer, one can specialize in two areas—Residential
Designing or commercial Designing. In the area of Residential Designing
one will have to work for homes of independent families, bungalows, flats
in apartment etc. Similarly, as the name implies, in Commercial Designing,
one will have to design for hotels, restaurants, cafes, banks, corporate
offices, shopping malls, etc. With the rapid growth in the number of specialization
areas in Interior Designing, one can specialize in one single area like
Kitchen and Bath Designing, Lighting, Landscaping, etc.
