What is interior design (interior design) and what is it for?

Interior design is responsible for planning and creating functional, safe and aesthetically pleasing spaces. It optimises the layout, furniture, materials and lighting by combining technical and artistic knowledge for the efficient use of spaces and the improvement of the quality of life of the people who use them. Read on to find out everything you need to know about interior design.

From layout to details

Interior design encompasses the analysis, design and planning of such spaces. Regardless of the type of work involved (flat, semi-detached house, detached house, premises…), it is essential to have a solid, precise and coherent project, as it will serve as a guide to obtain an optimum result. Among other elements, it should include plans, layouts, finishes and descriptions in as much detail as possible.

Among the concepts included in the interior design, the following stand out:

  • Distribution and optimisation of space. Adapting structures to maximise the use of space while preserving architectural integrity and improving functionality.
  • Architectural integration. Ensuring that structural and decorative elements blend harmoniously.
  • Comfort and ergonomics. Seek practicality and well-being.
  • Materials and finishes. Select them on the basis of aesthetics, quality and coherence with the chosen decorative style.
  • Colour palette. Apply one that harmonises with the client’s tastes.
  • Lighting. Plan it to achieve a pleasant and practical atmosphere and to enhance the decorative elements.

Fully customised spaces

Humans have always sought a place where they can feel comfortable and live in peace. Although there are no rules about tastes and aesthetic concepts are subjective, there are a series of general rules that must be known. This is what interior design does, planning and implementing the necessary changes so that someone feels at ease with their personal space.

The team at the architecture and interior design studio Enrica Mosciaro starts every new project by listening to the client. Knowing their tastes, desires and requirements, what they expect from the work, is essential to achieve a good result. In addition to being a functional, comfortable and aesthetically pleasing space, it must adapt to what is expected. Based on your preferences, we will define the structures, we will remodel as much as necessary and we will choose the colours, furniture, textures and lighting.

What is the difference between interior design and decoration?

Although they are two disciplines that combine, there are differences between them. Decoration is based on selecting furniture and accessories, colours and textures to embellish and personalise an already defined environment. While interior design covers the integral design of spaces, taking into account the distribution, structure and functionality. In other words, it focuses on fitting them out by modifying them to make them practical and comfortable. This is why interior designers work with architects and contractors.

Is interior design related to architecture?

It is closely related. If architecture is about the design and construction of structures and buildings, interior design is about optimising and beautifying the spaces within those structures. Both disciplines go hand in hand to create beautiful, functional and safe environments. Based on technical and artistic aspects, their aim is always to improve people’s quality of life.
