Interior Design

Why should you care about interior design, what is in it for you? After all interior design is just a bunch of paint on a wall and furniture put into a room so it looks pretty right? Wrong.

Interior design is much more then just paint and furnishings. It is a way to make a home, room or business feel inviting and fun or comfortable and warm. There are many reasons why good interior design is important. One is so that as you age you do not have to move,  have your home updated or hire help. A well designed home will include ADA (Americans with disabilities act) requirements such as seats in a tub or shower, lower counter tops and wheelchair access. Most modern homes have bedrooms on the first floor for this reason alone. The elderly and disabled need to be able to get to all needed areas of the home without having to worry about stairs.

Another reason design is important is that it really can make or break you. If your boss, who you are trying to get a raise or promotion from visits your home you want them to like it. You don’t want them to wonder why there is a leopard print rug on the floor that is surrounded by bright green furniture. This is not a very inviting situation. When your looking to succeed in life you want the people around you to believe that you are already there. A well designed room can do just that, and may just land you that job.

The benifits of good design goes beyond the home. If your workplace is easy to navigate, well lit with both artifical and natural light and you are able to feel comfortable while you work more will get done. It’s a proven fact that good interior and architectual design can improve work preformance.

There are also many health benifites to good interior design, one is less stress as any area that is designed will should also function well. You also should not have to do as much maintanace to your home or office area giving you more time and money for other things. These few reasions alone are why you should care about interior design.
