What is interior design?

..where art and science meet.

At its simplest, interior design is the layer of decoration on the interior of a building. But in reality, it is much more than that. At its core, interior design is about creating interiors that function well and enhance the well-being of those who use the space. Good interior design not only looks beautiful but also improves overall quality of life. The practice of interior design combines both art and science: it demands the understanding of a space, insight into the pscyhology of living in a space, and the creativity to introduce colour, shape and texture to best create a cohesive and pleasing environment.

At Indusian Design Studios our approach involves so many skillsets, its practitioners come from many different backgrounds. But some core principles apply whether or not formal training in interior design is necessary. And so all successful interior design projects – come from combining creativity, organisational skills, attention to detail and the ability to communicate your ideas clearly (whether this is to clients, suppliers or installers).

In this guide, we’ll cover off key aspects of interior design, such as the 7 Principles of Interior Design and the elements of the main on-trend interior design styles. But remember – design is always personal, so rules can be bent (and sometimes even broken). “The best rooms have something to say about the people who live in them.”
