INTERIOR DESIGN : A FASCINATING HOBBY AND AN EXCITING CARRIER.
Interior
design is an exciting career, and it is also a fascinating avocation, providing
a lifetime of personal, aesthetic, and intellectual fulfi llment. A single
issue of a cutting-edge residential design magazine recently demonstrated that
even those who do not practice interior design as a profession often create
interiors worthy of recognition and publication. The magazine’s colored pages
featured the work of architects and designers, along with the designs of an
illustrator, an account executive, an inventor, a hotel owner, a clothing
fabricator, a law student, a housewares retailer, a writer, a contractor, and
others. Anyone with a keen interest can become knowledgeable about design and
can create interiors of charm and style. Being involved in interior design is a
rewarding pursuit that broadens intellectual horizons and deepens aesthetic
sensitivity. Interior design is vital, vibrant, and dynamic; it is never
static.
As the world changes, life also changes and design keeps pace. An
interior design will never really be “fi nished,” because as life changes, so
do we. Styles evolve, our outlook changes, the composition of our families and
households alters, careers shift, and our designs adjust to life’s ebb and fl
ow. What an exciting thing it is to be fl uent in the language of design, to
know the historic roots of the design language, and to understand the new
expressions of the language all around us. It is even more exciting to be able
to speak the language of design by creating our own interiors. It is truly a
rewarding lifelong avocation that is within the reach of all who are willing to
invest the time and effort.
In above picture the well-planned space features light, lovely colors and simple, handsome furnishings that give these connecting dining and living rooms a sense of openness and cleanliness. Modest, organized spaces meets the needs of the users or encourages people to enjoy the space and the company of those who share it with them. Design by Hutker Architects/photo © Brian Vanden Brink.
LANGUAGE OF DESIGN.
The
late design educator Sherrill Whiton compared studying interior design to
learning a foreign language. If the vocabulary and the grammar of a language
are mastered, we can adequately express ourselves. Interior design has a
vocabulary of materials, styles, forms, details, light, colors, patterns, textures,
lines, and mass. The grammar can be compared to design principles of balance,
rhythm, emphasis, scale, proportion, unity, variety, and harmony. In the same
way that we select words to form sentences according to rules of grammar, we
use elements of design to
create interiors according to established principles. Like master writers who
manipulate the language in interesting new ways, talented designers often break
with established rules and expectations to create new trends and tastes.
Interior design can be observed and evaluated in places where we shop, worship, do business, or obtain services such as dining in restaurants. At the Oliver and Bonacini Café & Grill, a contemporary patio space has been added to the existing structure where natural lighting is enjoyed through retractable textile membrane vaults overhead and through commercial French doors. Furniture placement allows many diners to enjoy this sunny space, accessorized with tree trunks and large planters of greenery. Design by Anacleto

Residential and Contract Interior Design :
Although the focus of our interest in interior design is often
personal, it certainly need not be limited to our personal home environment.
Lifestyles today often dictate that we spend many of our waking hours in
working situations, shopping, and dealing with various types of business
services. We also spend time eating out, traveling, and staying in hotels.
These contract environments should be as well planned as the home environment.
The focus of Interiors: An
Introduction is general. The concepts discussed
apply to both residential and contract interiors. In cases where certain
considerations do not apply equally to
homes, separate sections with contract considerations
are included in the chapters.
In picture above the space was designed to house the objects and furnishings of personal value that are unlike any other home elsewhere. The result is a home that gives its owners a sense of well-being, comfort, and familiarity, as well as good design. Design by McMillan Architects/photo © Brian Vanden Brink
