INTERIOR DESIGNING


The work of an interior designer draws upon many disciplines including environmental psychology, architecture, product design, and traditional decoration (aesthetics and cosmetics). They plan and design hotels, corporate spaces, schools, hospitals, private residences, shopping malls, restaurants, theaters, and airport terminals. Today, interior designers must be attuned to architectural detailing including floor plans, home renovations, and construction codes. Some interior designers are architects as well. Homes are about personality. The warmth in the house has to be maintained in the home interior and that style is employed by the owner or through the services of an interior designer. The interior decorators in Mumbai are known for their skills and employing the best facilities to ensure utilization of space. Understanding the play of colors or the use of texture to do up the walls is more complex then we think it is. There are many varieties to do a home and this depends on your budget and lifestyle needs. There are formal or casual styles to choose from. A homogeneous effect can be maintained in the theme or one could choose a different style for each room. Spacious rooms should accentuate the room size and it is important to avoid clutter. Including flexibility is also necessary as it allows you to change the position of movable items like décor or settings. Paintings and other artistic elements like Chinese urns, masks, straw decoration and rugs are another way to set a theme. Ethnic handicrafts done in a minimum way also assure much Indiannes to include in a semi formal setting.

















Room theme
A theme is a consistent idea used throughout a room to create a feeling of completeness. Themes are the socio-cultural and the programmatic requirements of the end users. These themes often follow period styles. Examples of this are Louis XV, Victorian, Islamic, Feng Shui, Minimalist, Georgian, Gothic, Indian Mughal or Art Deco. The evolution of interior decoration themes has now grown to include themes not necessarily consistent with a specific period style allowing the mixing of pieces from different periods. Each element should contribute to form or function or both and maintain a consistent standard of quality and combine to create the desired design. For the last 10 years, decorators, designers, architects and homeowners have been re-discovering the unique furniture that was developed post-war of the 1950s and the 1960s from new material that were developed for military applications. Some of the trendsetters include Ray Eames and Herman Miller.
