Interior architecture is the practice of sensitively and innovatively redesigning an existing interior space, while respecting its historical value. As well as considering aesthetic design, interior architecture focuses on the functionality and material construction of interior spaces. It addresses structural elements like window and door placements, ventilation, heating and plumbing, as well as interior decoration.

START OF INTERIOR DESIGN IN HUMAN HISTORY
History of Interior Design Across the World Before the 7th century BCE, little evidence of decorative home furnishings survives. Cave-dwelling human beings who lived 20,000 years ago made paintings on cave walls, but these may have had a purpose other than decoration. No examples of movable furniture from prehistory have been found. The very idea of interior design was made possible by the shift in human culture from the nomadic lifestyle to the settled agrarian life. Societies with nomadic lifestyles had little need for large collections of heavy, awkward furnishings to move around with them. Central Asian nomadic societies did, however, create fine carpets and area rugs to provide for comfort and decoration within their portable shelters. Among these cultures, carpets and rugs are considered the highest form of fine art. One of the oldest known rug examples dates from the 5th century BCE and is known as the Pazyryk carpet. History of Interior Design Across the World Fast forward to the 17th, 18th, and even the beginning of the 19th century, and designing interiors became the task of the homemaker of nearly every home. While the inhabitants of the homes were the ones making the design choices, sometimes they would enlist the help of a craftsman such as a woodworker to create custom pieces for the home. Design choices were different across the world, and across time. By the time the 20th century hit, design choices became focused around functionality. This was only exacerbated when the Great Depression hit and there was no room for frilly, decorative wants, only what was needed to keep the home running. Much of this is seen in many mid-century modern furniture and interior designs. Finally, interior design slowly but surely began to transition into the decorative arts. From the Bauhaus movement to the emergence of art moderne, the designers of these functional objects began to get more creative with their work and produce something that was equally functional and aesthetically pleasing.

Open floor plans and the emphasis on windows for brighter space were the creation of this era yet carried over through today, which allows the trend to never cease to exist. Commonly, the sculptural decorations and the architectural features were created using Limestone, sandstone, and Purbeck marble.
7) 8) symmetry and order, interior design was presented in paintings of mythological and allegorical sculptures, covering the walls. This timezone of the INTERIOR DESIGN HISTORY witnessed the different decoration elements such as florid decorative details, luxurious textiles like silk and velvet, marble surfaces, and carpets, which were used as wall arts because they were too expensive even to the wealthiest of that era. The Renaissance Period Baroque In terms of shapes and forms, oval and elliptical shapes were preferred to square, rectangular and circular shapes. Stained glass, twisted columns, coloured marble, painted ceilings, gilt mirrors, and oversized chandeliers played a role in the expensive-looking interior design of this era. Those Ostentatious elements featured the focus of the Baroque era, which revolved around flamboyance, splendour, and ultra-rich excess. 9) Rococo The Rococo style is known for rooms decorated entirely in ivory- coloured stucco, and their aesthetics were achieved through the use of light pastel colours, paired with ivory whites, polished marble, gold, and silver. This aesthetic was maintained not only in the walls and ceilings, but in the furniture, flatware, silverware, paintings, and decorations to achieve visual lightness and luxury. 10) Traditional They decorated their houses by showing off pianos, upholstered furniture, and books, taking advantage of the lower cost of rugs and wallpapers to prove their wealth.

Traditional interior design is still a mainstay to this day due to its broad term that highlights varied design styles and movements. This style is timeless, evoking glamour, comfort, and history.
11) 12) The Industrial Revolution Neoclassical Style The architectural details and motifs of this style were inspired by ancient Greek and Roman cultures. This style was marked by using Mahogany and window draperies, which were the main features of this style. The bronze and gold metals were used as furnishing features along with silk, velvet, and satin while ensuring the matching wallpaper and furnishings. The increasing attainability of luxury items and the wide distribution of fashion and lifestyle publications made it easy for so many people more than everto be interested in interior design throughout the Industrial Revolution period. Tropical 13) tropical interior design involves decorating with natural materials such as wood, rattan, wicker, sea-grass, bamboo, palm, and teak.

New printing and weaving techniques were also used in this era, allowing the usage of these strong colours to craft stunning plaids, stripes, and florals. Those techniques turned the Victorian homes into cheerfully coloured spaces, showing in wallpapers, curtains, and upholstery.
15) Aesthetic Movement The Victorian materiality, which revolved around fussy decor, curvaceous forms, and abundant details, was rebelled against by the Aesthetic artists who attempted to promote the adage art for arts sake, trying to separate art from the obligation to exhibit a social and political materialisation and maintained that art should not be confined to painting, sculpture, and architecture. The Aesthetic Movement refused modern industrialism and paid more attention to subdued colours, geometric designs, less detailed composition, and simplified linear forms. 16) Tuscan The materials used in this style are marble, stone, locally made brick and terracotta mix with woods, and textiles.
