Interior Design
Interior design is the process of shaping the experience of interior space, through the manipulation of spatial volume as well as surface treatment. Not to be confused with interior decoration, interior design draws on aspects of environmental psychology, architecture, product design and furniture design in addition to traditional decoration. Interior design is a creative practice that analyzes programmatic information, establishes a conceptual direction, refines the design direction, and produces graphic communication and construction documents. In some jurisdictions, interior designers must be licensed to practice.
Difference between interior design and interior decorating
The term interior design is actually different from interior decorating although some use these terms interchangeably.
An interior decorator simply applies decorating principles to beautify a space. Although an "interior designer" can also make aesthetic changes to an interior space, the interior designer is actually a professional licensed and/or registered with a licensing authority who coordinates design projects that may include changes to the structure or architecture, in addition to beautifying the space.

Educational requirements are less technical for an interior decorator than for an interior designer. While an interior decorator requires no formal mandated education or licensing requirements, an interior designer must meet both educational and licensing requirements of the licensing jurisdiction, and the designer must be well versed and knowledgeable technically in the building and safety codes that can affect changes to interior spaces.

Essential parts of all design styles are concept, color, proportion, balance, ergonomics and function of design. Although all styles differentiate their usage of each of these, they are all an integral part of the overall look and feel of a room or space. Designers incorporate the seven elements of design to create and enhance style: form, mass, shape, line, color, texture and pattern.
