INTERIOR
if they are in their own house when shopping, the sense of
complete comfort. One very good example of store design is
the famous IT company based in California. They have gone
the extra mile where all interior designers will stop working
on conceptual ideas after several sketches; they have added
a little spice, the extra wow factor. Walking into any of those
stores makes you feel completely submerged in the products
they are selling. Everything has been properly calculated.
The amount of ambiance lights inside and overlooking the
displayed products, the colour of the lights, the furniture
design, the height of the furniture, etc. The overall interior
design makes you, the customers feel comfortable and the
most important factor is it gives you a sense of trust: thus
pushing you to do some or many purchases.
But there are some misconception regarding the work
designers does. Interior designer are not limited to selecting
curtains and room colour, it is broader than that. Interior
designing means designing a space, which cleverly fulfils
the requirement and solves the problem of the user but also
keeping it comfortable to all 5 senses.Designer looks after
thermal and acoustic comfort of the space. She or he works
on lighting design as well, which can create magic in the
space without hindering visibility.
Also, if a designer is able to incorporate local material and
skills in innovative and sustainable way in his/her design, this
field can get popularity beyond the cities they are in and reach
out even to smaller cities and might even attract international
eyes.Some contribution on communal spaces like youth
clubs, libraries, community clubs, etc can draw attention of
the locals and acknowledge them about the importance of
interior design.
