WELCOME TO THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF INTERIOR DESIGN

In the 21st Century the term design has become an everyday word.  The shaping of our interior environments, whether in the form of simple decoration, a limiting term becoming outdated, interior design, or even the more sophisticated interior architecture approach, has come of age. Star designers like Philippe Starck and starchitects like Frank Gehry or the late Zaha Hadid, have surprised and inspired us, with their design excellence and idiosyncratic avant-garde.

As most post-industrial societies became affluent, new materials and manufacturing techniques were developed and the internet broke down the barriers giving us unprecedented access to different ideas and lifestyles across the globe, interior design emerged as a hobby, favorite pastime or creative outlet for many. Most of us have at one time or another played designers, experimenting and changing our own interior spaces or rooms. In fact, changing our interiors was never before so easy or so affordable, partly due to industrial and modular approaches favored by global furniture and accessories retail giants.

Magazines, television shows, the internet and social media, even advertisements, all address this phenomenon, this new global craze; celebrating interiors in all their dimensions. We’re being bombarded with wow interiors, a parade of styles, views of the desired aesthetic or the sense of what is considered beautiful. Which of course is relative, although the New World Order would have us think otherwise, wishing to impose a tyrannical uniformity.

Modern man unfortunately spends a considerable amount of time indoors, in his home, workspace or elsewhere, subsequently the importance of interiors is unquestioned. Psychologists even support that a properly designed interior can positively affect our mood, for example, being more serene at home or more productive at work; most of us would tend to agree having had similar experiences.

As we’re adopting a sustainable or green attitude and way of life, through recycling, conservation of natural resources and the like, interior design has also become a part of this global movement. Interiors now feature all natural materials, which are definitely healthier.

This is dedicated to all the aspiring designers, the do-it-yourself (DIY) folks and the professionals of course. Written in a clear, unpretentious language, all of you can find in here relative and useful information, theoretical as well as practical. So take the plunge and welcome to the wonderful and exciting world of interior design, where we shape our environments which in turn may shape us. Enjoy designing the new interior spaces of the Century.
