Author: Robert Thatcher Have you ever wondered how you can make your home look like the
place of the affluent people? Or would you just like to create
an impression of classic beauty with an air of sophistication?
All of these things can be made through the use of interior
designs.
Basically, interior design refers to the art of manipulating
and forming the inner space of a house, an office, or a room,
through the management of surface healing and "spatial volume."
Interior designs are generally used to bring in the features of
architecture, furniture designs, environmental psychology, and
product design. All of these are combined to create an artistic
projection of the area in project.
The Style
The interior designer should know and take into consideration
the different parts of "design styles." These are the
proportion, function of design, concept, and balance. All of
these parts are important in creating the total "look and feel"
of the room.
For instance, in creating the "look and feel" of the room, the
interior design could enhance the "graphical user interface" of
the design buy using the right combination of colors, layout,
shapes, etc.
Included in the aspect of styles are the seven elements of
design that an interior designer must always take into account.
These are the shape, form, line, texture, color, pattern, and
mass. All of these things, when incorporated in a project will
bring out the best results.
However, good interior designers must also take into account
the aspects of beauty in terms of its function and aesthetics.
A good balance between the two will instigate proper
coordination of all the elements of design.
The reason behind this argument is based on the fact that the
concept of beauty is always comparative and qualified. As the
old adage goes, "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder."
Hence, there are instances that one design might be beautiful
for one person but may look unsightly with others. That is why
when the function of interior design serves its purpose as far
as enhancing the total outlook of the space is considered as
universal, the comparativeness of its beauty will vary from one
person to another.
For this reason, the design used by the interior designer may
be relative to his or her own aspect of beauty but may be taken
differently by his or her viewers. Nevertheless, it is still the
interior designer who will know the appropriate use of the
different elements of design associated with the utilization of
the various kinds of materials that he or she will use.
Consequently, the interior designer must still consider the
insights and taste of the user or the customer. After all, the
interior designer is being paid to enhance the space according
to the taste of the one who will use that space.
At this point, it is now based on the "sales talks" or the
persuasive power of the designer to convince his or her client
the best style, patterned to his or her style. In this way, the
designer will not be in trouble of deviating from the interests
of the client. Otherwise, the designer may no longer find
future works from this particular client.
Indeed, interior designing is not just a matter of good taste
and spatial enhancement. It is also a conglomeration of the
application of the different elements of design along with the
personal interest of the client.
It is a work of art with the value of ethical standards
constituted in one art form.
