Interior Designing and interior decorating are two very different fields that are commonly mistaken for each other. The Designer creates space and the Decorator enhances it. An interior designer coordinates from the blueprint till the execution is the completion of the project.

Limited space for construction requires optimum usage of available space. The most effective use of space, user well-being factor, the functionality of the layout, and coordination with developers are the most important aspects of interior design.

In the past interiors were put together instinctively as part of the process of building as per the needs and requirements of the stakeholders or developers. Time and space construction have developed the interior design into a science. For example, an interior designer will have the talent and acumen to fit in a small closet or loft or a washroom when it seems impossible to a layman without compromising on usable space.

The profession of interior Designing is so vast and has many verticals and it has branched out into specialist design. There are different interior Designers for apartments, houses, commercial blocks, offices, hospitals, hotels, schools, etc.

In India, Vasthu is a very important aspect of construction. As such the interior designer is required to guide the erectors of the building on the basic requirements of Vasthu.
