What Is Interior Design And Decor?

What does 'interior design' really mean? If you ask Joe Bloggs on the street he will probably answer: "Well, you know, ornaments, cushions, sofas, candles, that sort of thing." But it is so much more!

Interior design is: "An art form where an interior design architect or other person taking on the role of interior designer uses different pieces of furniture, colour, ornaments and other objects to decorate and furnish a room in a dwelling or other inteior space."

The most common forms of interior design are home decor, office decor, shop interior design and hotel interiors, although other forms also exist.

Home decor

When we use the word 'decor' in decor blogs, we generally mean home decor. Home decor has several sub-categories, including bathroom decor, kitchen decor, living room decor and so on.

The idea behind home decor is that you should decorate your own home according to your own tastes - preferably using inspiration from inredningsvis.se

Home staging companies (also called home stylists) decorate homes with fine but often neutral taste, so that the residence can achieve the highest possible sale price.

Office decor

Due to the fact that most office workers spend more than 1500 hours at the office every year, the office environment is extremely important. Desks and chairs must be ergonomically suited to each individual worker and the entire work space must be inspiring. Even meeting rooms can be optimized for increased ease of use and comfort.

The first impressions experienced by customers and clients at the workplace has a large impact on the overall image of a company. Investing in the right decor in a reception area can be the difference between deal or no deal.

With the right office decor, everyone feels better at work and productivity is increased.

Shop decor

Sales are affected to a huge extent by the inteior design of a shop. Therefore, the appearance of a shop must mirror the company vision, brands, status, and ideals. An electronics chain store will have completely different decor needs compared to those of a store specializing in high fashion.

Stylists working with shop decor generally work using the following plan: Brief and needs analysis, design of concept, purhase of furniture/ornaments and/or design of new prototypes, delivery and fitting.

Hotel interiors

Hotel inteiors must be well designed so that guests enjoy their stay. Entrance ways, reception, bedroom, bathroom, bar and other common areas - everything contrbutes to the overall impression for a hotel guest. Many different styles also exist of course, from classic to modern, budget, clean, minimalist and luxury. The design must match the wishes of potential guests as well as the location of the hotel, vision, and reputation etc.
