Interior Designing

My Introduction

Welcome to my Blog. My name is Williamson Isaac and this blog will focus on Interior design.

I will be focusing on the historical background of interior designing as well as the main element of interior design such as space, line, color, and texture main areas I would like to explore in this topic are specialized fields in the interior design set designing, lighting design, furniture and home furnishing, and Interior architecture color and design.

My Why

My Grandmother inspired me to choose this topic because I grew up with us not being too wealthy but she always found a way to make the house look special during the holidays and different seasons throughout the year. For example, during the Christmas and winter months, she would change around furniture and change the rugs, chairs, cushion covers, and curtains to mostly red and green. “Christmas colors”.

In the spring she would do it again usually with pastel colors and her favorite flower pink hibiscus that she would put in her simple clear vases and would sit all around the house mainly in the front room and pouch.

During summer she didn’t do a lot because she saw that summer and spring had around the same feeling and the same temperature. Anytime I would have asked my Grammy why she liked to do so much and so often she would say “Love to decorate”.Since that day I’ve always had a way to help my Grammy whenever she decorates the house she teaches me a new lesson every day and it has made us closer.

The History

The interior design practice goes back to the Ancient Egyptians who decorated their naive mud homes with basic furnishings enhanced by animal skins, spiritual murals, sculptures, and painted urns

What is an Interior Designer?

An interior designer is someone who coordinates decorative settings in buildings, such as furniture and carpeting. Interior designers make indoor spaces functional, safe, and beautiful by determining space requirements and decorative items, such as colors, lighting, and materials.

Types of Interior Designing

Set Designing

Set design is a physical space in which the action is performed or an event takes place. Usually used to describe theater productions, it constitutes all the scenery, furniture, props, appearance, and overall look of the stage.

A small difference!

 Both careers require creativity and impeccable attention to detail which makes them exactly similar. The only difference between the two is that interior design typically involves designing spaces inside of homes or workplaces while a set designer usually works on scenery for productions outside of it or even just within another building without actually being in that space when designing it and that's why it is a type of designing.

Midcentury Modern Style Designing

The midcentury modern style flourished during the mid-20th century when newly post-War families began expanding into America's suburbs around 1945-1969. Elements of mid-century modern interior design include clean lines, muted tones, a combination of natural and manmade materials, graphic shapes, vibrant colors, and integrating indoor and outdoor motifs.

Interior Architecture

Interior architecture focuses on the interior and its functionality for humans. The interior architecture blends art and science to create, restore, or readapt the inside of various buildings, like homes, offices, or other interior spaces. This type of architecture also involves converting one type of space into another like turning the indoor space of an old office building into livable housing.

What is an interior architect?

Interior architects are usually involved in the building or rebuilding of interior environments, often changing the actual structure. 

Interior Furnishing

Interior furnishing is the act of decorating a house or room but it is intended for use or which may reasonably be expected to be used, in homes, offices, or other places of assembly or accommodation.

Lighting Designing

Lighting design is that part of any interior design project where the designer has to know all the important aspects of lighting that can influence a space. It is one of the most important part of interior furnishing. Expertly placed lighting adds another dimension to a space, bringing an interior design project to life.

Why is it important?

Great lighting creates depth and height, cozy spots, and draws attention to your most impressive areas. It’s all about the balance of light and shade and bringing new energy to an interior. An architect or interior designer may just draw a grid of downlights into their plans for your interior, which won’t do justice to what they have designed. Calling lighting experts to work in harmony with your interior designer or architect will maximize the impact of your space.
