interior design and management

1. Design is defined as any arrangement of lines, forms, colours and textures. A good design shows on orderly arrangement of material showed and in addition creates beauty in the finished product and in addition fulfill a particular function.

2. History of Interior Design Traditionally the carpenter or the store-keeper used to advise the arrangement of interiors for their clients. Until the First World War interior decoration was closely related to the trade of antiques. The social and economic situation during the 20 th century increased the importance of an interior decorator. Interior decoration is still remain luxury available only to the upper class of the society. Certain status is attached in the society in taking professional advise to the appearance of home or work place.

3. It is one of the profession in which women did very well. Interior decorators were mainly responsible for selecting suitable textiles, floor and wall coverings, furniture, lighting and colour schemes for room. God has gifted humans with anonymous talents to generate new creations, ideas and skills. One of the biggest interests that human always had was bent for living in an almost pleasing and comfortable environment. In his eagerness to live in good surrounding, man has constantly experimented upon his mental projects, which were ultimately laid done by him on paper. ---- projects after passing centuries of tastes have given birth to profession …. Interior Designing. Interior designing is one of the most existing and …… occupation in life for long time.

4. The problem starts with the planning of their homes their furnishings and their apparel and extends upto their community areas. Throughout history, the taste of designers has been undergoing alterations constantly and has resulted in the success of various forms of designs. Today we refer more to the art of designing which encompasses every aspect of selection and arrangement.

5. Thus creating a design is a problem for everyone and not just for students alone with their so called artistic ability. Consequently, each one of us needs a through background to appreciate, to select and to arrange the elements to create designs. We surrounded with beautiful things everywhere around us. The nature has many beautiful things that make living pleasant for us. Almost all objects which we choose and use everyday have a certain amount of aesthetic value. It is important therefore to know some of the fundamentals of developing a good taste in choosing these objects of daily living.

6. Good taste in selecting things is inborn in some, although everyone has a natural ability to recognize beauty and suitability in their surroundings. This latent talent can be developed by study observation and experience in solving creative problems. Developing good taste in selecting things is not enough to creative a beautiful surroundings, but these objects have to be arranged and displayed in proper way.

7. Thus, for economy and beauty in developing good taste lies in proper selection and arrangement of things you buy everyday. There is a general misconception that art is decoration. The wall of our houses are covered with pictures and calendars and all sorts of decorative objects that it becomes confusing. We cannot appreciate the beauty of object unless it is displayed attractively. Decoration is fine so long as it enhances the basic structure of the article. Too much of decoration is as bad as too little. Aesthetic beauty of an object is seen in its line, form, colour and texture.

8. Where it is a house, hotel, office or school, people have started recognizing the importance of pleasant and cheerful surroundings. An attractive orderly arrangement in a room radiates hospitality. Interestingly decorated windows and attractive lamps and pictures lend a finishing touch to the interiors. Colours which blend with each other unite various items in a room and give it a pleasing glow. Beautiful surroundings constitute the most important factor of any environment whether it is for work or relaxation.

9. Environment which is comfortable and beautiful has a decided effect on output of a worker. A room decorated in good taste and with a comfortable temperature can make work more pleasant and not a prison. Similarly one can relax thoroughly in pleasant surrounding. The result effect can be created by soothing colours and textures and by using lines and forms of objects which are soft, smooth and comfortable. Selection of a good design plays an important role in creating beautiful objective and surroundings.

10. Design – Meaning The term ‘design’ means aim, intention, plan, scheme, selection and organization. When these terms are put together, they describe the total design procedure of deciding on one’s aim developing a plan or approach and selecting and organizing the form and materials best suited to the purpose. In the visual art, designer works with the elements of art and design, by selecting and arranging them to suit a purpose, which might be to create something that is purely functional or purely ornamental or both. In simple words, design is the selecting and arranging of materials, with two aims – order and beauty, the order denoting organization or structure and beauty that shows character through interpretation of an idea by an individual.

11. In doing so, the designer express various ideas, moods and values and such expressions evoke some response in the minds of the viewers. It is interpretation of idea by an individual which is based on the psychological or emotional significance attached with certain lines, forms, colours and textures. Importance of good design is not limited to artists and painters. It is an essential requirement of any object whether it is decorative or functional. Appreciation of beautiful things and using them attractively in our surrounding also reflects our aesthetic taste. In a nutshell, “design can be defined as the selection and arrangement of lines, forms, colour and texture of an object in space, or a drawing of it on a piece of paper.

12. Need for Design Design, as ever, is directed by the use and combination of tools and materials, methods and construction and use as well as the designer’s personality and creativity. It helps the students of design to develop a philosophy and a creative approach to design as a way of life and to learn to analyze a design to make a wise choice, considering both utility and beauty. By learning to use and live with such selections of artistic objects, design finds a definite place in one’s daily life. No text or a course by itself can guarantee that a student would automatically develop the knowledge and understanding the designs. It takes the eye, the hand, the brain and the heart to make a good design. Therefore, the students must therefore study, see, feel and evaluate their reactions to explore and experiment new designs. With increased understanding of designs, one can not only create a functional environment, but can also enjoy a more satisfying life in a beautiful environment.

13. Types of Design We must learn to judge the expressiveness of any design, by the way all the elements are blended together to create the total effect. It is not possible to study line without colour and texture. Neither it is possible to ignore the effects that colour and texture have an each other. Therefore the over-all design effect results from the intermingling of these elements of these elements and we must learn to understand how these elements work with one another in producing something that is pleasing to the eye. In this manner, a number of designers can be created. In all designs can be broadly be divided into two categories. They are Structural design Decorative design

14. Structural Design While structural design is basic to all objects, decorative design refers to the surface enrichment of these objects. Thus designing the structure of an object is a “must” while decorative design could be “optional”. Structural design is “essential” to all object. In structural design the structure determines the form and enrichment comes from the materials used. It is the design made by the size, form, colour and texture of the object whether it be the object intself in space or a drawing of that object worked out on paper. Any line, colour , material that have been y and to constitute its decorative design. Much of our modern design is of this type, with form dictated by function. There is very little ornamentation as far as such designs are concerned.

15. Requirements of a good structural design The phrase “form follows function” is correctly applied to all structural design. The real meaning is that form and function are complementary to each other. In practice, we find a large number of objects with different design, meant for different uses. It is necessary that all these objects are of good designs. Some may be good and others, poor. A few guidelines or requirements, the design is good or poor. If the designs conforms to these guidelines or requirements, the design can be called a good one and vice versa. Colddtein and Coldstein , 1960, lists four requirements for a good structural design, when the object is these requirements. The designer considers whether the form, colour and texture have given enough interest to the object or, if a sense of bareness remains, it needs to be relieved. In some structural designs, the forms, colours and textures are already so beautiful that one does not feel the necessity for decoration.

16. The requirements for a good structural design In addition to be being beautiful, it should be suited to its purpose It should be simple It should be well proportionate It should be suited to the material of which it is made and to the processes which will be followed in making it. The design also has to do with the function of an object or the purpose for which a form was created. Becoming familiar with the function of an object may lead to a greater appreciation of the resulting solution. This function an always be looked at as both aesthetic and utilitarian. It is important that the design should suit the materials of which it is made and to the processes followed in making it. While purchasing any article, one must make a close scrutiny of the article, as to what is the purpose and how it was made. The honesty of the designer and the technique involved in making an object should get reflected at the mere appearance or look of it.

17. Decorative Design Decorative design is the surface enrichment of a structural design. By surface enrichment, it is meant the applied decoration, such as printed or painted design, one that is etched, carved, appliqued or otherwise executed to decorate the surface of the area. Any lines, colours or materials that have been applied to a structural design for the purpose of adding a richer quality to it constitute its decorative design. Decoration in generals, is the luxury of design. The elements are simplified, exaggerated, rearranged by these decorative designs. Therefore it can be said that decorative design can be created for meeting various purpose and ideas. Requirements of good decorative design Once the designer has decided that the object will be enhanced by decoration and that its structural design is simple and beautiful as well as functional, the designer can plan his / her decoration. Whether it is the decoration of a vase, chair, table or a costume the design.

18. Requirements of good decorative design Once the designer has decided that the object will be enhanced by decoration and that its structural design is simple and beautiful as well as functional, the designer can plan his/her decoration. Whether it is the decoration of a vase, chair, table or a costume, the design. The decoration should fulfill the following conditions: The decoration should be strengthen the shape of the object by emphasizing harmonizing with its proportions should be used in moderation. It should reinforce the function of the object. The decoration should be suitable for the materials and the service it must give. There should be enough background space to give an effect of simplicity and dignity to the design.

19. Surface patterns should cover the surface quietly. The background shapes should be as carefully studies and as beautiful as the pattern placed against them. It should express individually and creative thinking. While designing a decorative object. It is important to see that the design is suitable to the material of which it is being made. If care is taken to keep this point to mind, the design is made suitable to its purpose or use. When the decorative design is placed all over the space on the bowl, the bowl itself becomes beautiful and can be used exclusively as a decorative piece on a mental place. When the decorative design is used in modernisation and placed at structural points, with enough background space, the decorative design will not only be highlighted, but also makes the object most suitable for its purpose.

20. The future of interior Design It is clear that in the future there will be a greater need for designers to be knowledgeable about the complex and technical aspects of interior design. Increased litigation over design projects points the increasing accountability of interior designers for the environments they create. As more states pass title registration act and require licensing, qualified interior designers will enjoy increased recognition in the legal and business areas. This trend should further protect the public against those who are not qualified practice in the field.

21. Finally, computer technology promises to play a commanding role in the future of interior designer. Increasingly capable database and business management applications will assists in the coordination of research and documentation, analysis, organisation and processing of all the documentation handled by the interior designer. Financial programs will aid in preparing estimates, purchasing goods and services and monitoring budgets. Graphic applications such as CAD will become more powerful; we might even expect that designers and clients will utilize virtual reality as a tool for v isualizing and planning how an interior will look and feel. In addition to predictions we can make on the basis of what we presently know, we can sure that computer technology will continue to burgeon and as a result, that things we may not even be able to imagine will become possible as the interior design profession moves ahead in the twenty first century.

24. Kinds of Design Structural Design Decorative Design

25. Structural Design It is a design made up of size, form, colour and structure of an object. It is essential to every object. Bad structural Design

26. It should be beautiful It should be simple It should be proportionate It should be suitable to the purpose It should be suited to the material of which it is made It should be suitable to the process which will be followed in making it. Requirements of good Structural Design

27. Requirements of good Decorative Design Decoration should be in moderation. Decoration should be placed at structural points and strengthen the shape of the object. Decoration should have enough background space will give simplicity and dignity to the design. The surface pattern should cover the surface quiety . The decoration should be suitable for the materials and the service it must give.

28. Bad Decorative Design

29. A decorative design divided into 6 broad categories Naturalistic design Conventional design Abstract design Geometric design Historical design and Biomorphic design

30. Naturalistic Design These design represent subject matter drawn from nature. Eg . Flowers, leaves, fruits, animals, landscapes

31. Conventional Design The natural source of the stylized motif, but the design makes no pretence at actual representation. Flowers, animals and figures are favourite themes. They are simplified. Exaggerated. Re-arranged or even distorted to achieve the purposes of the designs. The colouring of stylized design may also be unconventional.

32. Abstract Design Many abstract patterns are based on geometric forms. The abstract design is also a type of stylized design; where conventionalization takes place to such an extent that distortion occurs.

33. Geometric Design Ancient civilizations realized the design values of purely geometric forms including circles, triangles, rectangles and stripes are the examples of geometric design.

34. Historic Design Ancient design of historical importance is known as historic design namely Taj Mahal , Ancient.

35. Biomorphic Design Biomorphic designs are mostly made of curves. Eg . Sea waves, wak drippings. Structural design is far more important than decorative design because it is essential to every object while decoration is the luxury of a design Since art is involved in most of the object seen and used every day, one should have a knowledge of the principles fundamentals to good taste. Good taste is the application of the principles of design to the problems in life where appearance as well as utility is a consideration. Good taste includes selection and arrangement of all belongings as well as personal possessions.

36. Finally all decorative designs can be categorized as unique creations, when it expresses individuality. Creative thinking plays a significant role in preparing beautiful and exemplary objects. Designs are created carefully to express their functional quality, i.e. their exclusive use and the purpose, as a decorative object or otherwise. Some objects are created for the sake of beauty only and are not connected in the designer’s mind with practical use. When an object is chosen for their appearance alone, they should be judged critically, because our taste must grow up toward beauty and we must learn to discard that are inferior aesthetically.

37. The designer whose work shows fine quality, adapts and conventionalizes or stylizes his design to suit the materials he is using. He does not attempt to deceive by imitating real object, as flowers and fruits, done in materials like wood, clay, plastics or threads, but having decided to take flower / leaf idea as the theme of his decoration, he alerts it so suit: The shape of the object The purpose for which the object will be used The limitation of the material The tool and processes he must use while making the object

38. Thus a lot of effort is put in to create objects either for beauty or for functional use. A good judgement of structural and decorative design is essential for any person while selecting an object. If a design is to give satisfaction, it cannot stop at being merely correct, but should go beyond that for the person to get maximum amount of satisfaction from the object he has purchased. It must have character or style and individuality. A distinctive feature of a designed object is style. When a design possesses a positive and dramatic appearance, it is said to be ‘decorative’, i.e., it has a ‘decorative quality’. These two terms denote character in a design and are different from decorative design. ‘decorative quality’ is never found in a design that is ‘pretty’ or ‘sentimental’ and it does not appear in imitative designs. Simplicity is an attribute of ‘decorative quality’, while fussy elaborations is never associated with a good decorative design.

39. Conclusion Everyone dreams of beautiful and comfortable home where one can express one’s choice and individuality. Their interior arrangement of the house which is functional as well as beautiful provides the highest satisfaction to the inmates of the house. The homemakers or family members themselves may decorate the interiors or may assign this responsibility to the professional interior decorators. By following certain guidelines even one can decorate the interiors which can provide utmost satisfaction.
