Interior\ndesign always keeps the occupants of the space in mind. Whether a family in their\nforever home, a young couple in their first apartment, colleagues in an office\nspace, patrons in a restaurant, or visitors to a hotel. Interior design also takes\ninto account the architecture, physical location and culture of the project. In\nshort, it is all encompassing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interior design transforms lives. It\u2019s not just about making\na space look good (though I believe that to be very important). It\u2019s about making\nit functional and comfortable in a way that\u2019s very particular to those who will\nuse the space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I love interior design because every project is different.\nThere\u2019s no one size fits all approach to creating beautiful, comfortable,\nuseful spaces because the needs (and taste) of those who use each space will\ndiffer every single time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Exceptional interior design improves quality of life. In a\nhome, it will create a comforting safe haven. In an office, it will improve\nwork flow. In a hotel, it will lead to a better night\u2019s sleep. It solves\nproblems, creates harmony and leaves an impression. Interior design is also\ninclusive; it can be used to make spaces more accessible and enjoyable for\nthose with disabilities or illnesses. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interior design affects how people feel and function in a\nspace and <em>that<\/em> is why it is so important.\nI\u2019ve covered certain aspects of this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.clairstrong.co.uk\/blog\/inspiration-and-theory\/a-guide-to-biophilic-design\">here<\/a>,\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.clairstrong.co.uk\/blog\/colours\/psychology-of-colour-in-home-design\">here<\/a>,\nand<a href=\"http:\/\/www.clairstrong.co.uk\/blog\/interior-details\/tips-for-a-happier-healthier-home\">\nhere<\/a> if you fancy some further reading. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image: Clair Strong Interior Design It\u2019s been four years and more than 250 blog posts, and I haven\u2019t yet written about the importance of interior design.
