“When it comes to interior design styles, give yourself the permission to think outside the box. There are so many wonderful ways to define who you are by creating a magnificent living space. Allow yourself to be creative. Be stylish. And when I say outside the box, I don’t necessarily mean go crazy, I simply suggest you take some steps to create the type of home that you really want or that your client is asking you to create” (Yule 1). Looking into interior design there are many elements that contribute to the way people view the room or area, such as the color, flooring, furniture, fabrics, and accessories in every room. Within the following research paper, interior design will be discussed by the interior design styles, the effects of color, and the trends of bathrooms. As elements of interior design develop, “Interior Designipedia is solution orientated for each of your design projects and in constantly changing” (Yule 1). “Of all the component elements that together form a completed interior, the single most important element is space” (Britannica School High 3). Many parts of design make a big impact on how they make the room feel. “Interior design styles are essentially about building an environment to seduce the emotions” (Yule 1). For example the “Textures can evoke feeling of elegance such as silk or informality such as rough, tweedy materials” (Britannica School High 6). Sculptures are very traditional pieces that add a great element to rooms (6). Another design element is lighting, which is one of the most important parts of design (Yule 3). As stated before, “light, both natural and artificial, is one of the most important design elements” (Britannica School High 4).

Gehry draws his inspiration from famous paintings such as the Madonna and Child which he qualifies as a “strategy for architecture” (Friedman M. , 2003, p. 42) and which he used as an inspiration for a project in Mexico . Through his interpretation of the paintings and artwork, Gehry looked for a new kind of architecture. His search for a new type of architecture culminated in 1978 with his own house in Santa Monica. What was once a traditional Californian house would be redesigned to become one of the most important and revolutionary designs of the 20th century, giving Gehry international prestige and fame. Frank Gehry’s “Own House” uses a mixture of corrugated metal, plywood, chain link and asphalt to construct a new envelope for an existing typical Californian house. This house has been inspired by Joseph Cornell, Ed Moses and Bob Rauschenberg. Gehry comments on his house by saying that there was something “magical” (Friedman M. , 2003, p. 54) about it. He admits having “followed the end of his [my] nose” (Friedman M. , 2003, p. 54) when it came to constructing the “new” house, which led Arthur Drexler, former Director...

Interior Decorators such as Elsie de Wolfe, Eleanor McMillen Brown, and Dorothy Draper helped to pave the way for the Interior Design profession today. Their influential decisions to stray away from the Victorian style of design helped guide both the interior decorating profession, as well as architects who no longer wanted to design in the bulky and cluttered Victorian Style. Elsie de Wolfe designed during the Victorian movement, however “had adopted the 1890’s preference for Neoclassicism” (Smith, 22). Unlike the cluttered and dark interiors of an average Victorian interior, her interiors were, “in the words of one visitor, ‘[models] of simplicity’” (Smith, 20).
At the end of nineteen century, the implication of home inner design had not yet stationary. However, Elise de Wolfe used her aesthetic sensibility and her family background to introduce aesthetics to the field of architecture. The professional term "interior design” now born in architect’s industrial. She subverted the prevailing Victorian design. Her work was considered as a break through from old design and a cornerstone of merging modern interior design. She was hailed as one of those pioneers who prevailed on the development of the career of interior design.
Italian art and culture changed numerous times throughout history, bringing about some of the world’s most unique and beautiful design concepts. While many marvel at the beauty of magnificent architecture, one-of-a-kind paintings, and breathtaking sculptures, the interiors of these buildings were just as remarkable. Rebirth of classical architecture became prominent along with the notion of an ideal city, where proportions were of the upmost importance. Many early interior architects used patterns and colors, along with strategically placed furniture, to create rooms of unity and proportion. With the architectural rediscovery of classical design, artisans and designers of the time were called upon to create interiors that met those needs.
It will discuss the different types of dwellings throughout recorded human history from the perspective of how art and culture influences building design. This will fulfill my own curiosity to understand the different influences on homebuilding and design over the years and how people have dealt with these changes.
But these contrived differences give rise to esthetic difficulties too. Because inherent differences—those that come from genuinely differing uses—are lacking among the buildings and their settings, the contrivances repre...
...ional styles and instead used new and organic forms which emphasized humanity’s connection to nature. It was thus very heavily influenced by the Art Nouveau style that was widely gaining popularity at the time. The resulting combination of these two prominent movements served to revolutionise interior design for the better, as it saw a gradual increase in the quality and creativity of the decorative arts.
The main elements of a building are: Region, the space they inhibit; Platform, the space where they built; Compartation, how they cut the space, plan the structure; the walling, the roof and the apertures which are the opening and windows. Some consider that ornament is something additional to a entirely useful entity to make it more outstanding. Others suppose that ornament is intrinsic to an object and the only way to observe the attractiveness of that thing is to apprehend its adornment.
Interior design is becoming increasingly popular all over the world. There is simply nothing more enjoyable than to relax in your own well-decorated and organized home.
In conclusion, the walls and ceilings are relatively consistent throughout the subsequent periods. Wood paneling, gilding, painting, and tapestries were the most popular wall applications. Gilded, carved, and plaster ceilings were the most prominently used during the periods. Craftsmanship was emphasized, and there was an overall lightness of design, especially in comparison to comparative English periods. Walls and ceilings were a vital part of the design, because these areas were the most emphatic areas of the room. Furniture was important but lackluster when contrasted by the gorgeous delineation of forms surrounded the rooms. Perhaps the greatest takeaway from these periods is the emphasis on the seventh plane, something so minutely considered in modern times.

Architecture is the concept of bringing structure, materiality, form and space together as a whole, provide people with enclosed atmosphere to experience. Considering this, it is important to identify that materiality and the purpose of details has been a key methodology to bringing architectural intentions into the design in an affective manner, more over producing an architectural expression. However, this position is rather declining in architecture, reducing tectonics and materiality to being secondary to form and space. With the start of modernism, the attempt to achieve minimalistic style has caused detailing to increasingly develop into a decorative aspect of a building, neglecting its individual contribution to architecture.
The First basic principle of feng shui is human are affected by their surrounding. People are connected to the environment in ecological term. Despite the fact, human live is fill with physical, mental health, personal and professional relationship, home and work performance which effected by the position of buildings, views, landscaping, color, lighting, shapes of structures, and even furniture arrangement.

The development of feng shui design has various type of practice because influenced by cultures, science, and technology for thousand years since feng shui was emerged.
Abstract: Contemporary architects have a wide variety of sources to gain inspiration from, but this has not always been the case. How did modernism effect sources of inspiration? What did post-modernism do to liberate the choice of influences? Now that Contemporary architects have the freedom of choice, how are they using “traditional” styles and materials to inspire them? Even after modernism why are traditional styles still around?
