Designing Interiors

The decoration of the interior spaces of a building is a natural extension of its overall design.

Wall coverings, floor coverings, lighting fixtures, window dressing, woodworking, even the placement of artwork, all converge in the designer’s imagination to form a harmonious whole. Architects may specify and design these interior details themselves, or work closely with interior designers.

The look of interiors can proclaim a bold new style, as happened with the buildings of the 1925 Art Deco Exposition, or consciously imitate a beloved historical style, as occurred in Gothic Revival structures.
