Interior Design Matters


Because life matters iDesign-matters! We spend more than 90% of our lives indoors, and interior spaces make a great impact in our lives. That is why interior designers are qualified to enhance the function and quality of interior spaces for the purpose of improving the quality of life, increasing productivity and protecting the health, safety and welfare of the public.
It is very important that people understand our profession and not compare it or confuse it with other similar fields. We interior designers focus on Evidence-based design, which is a field of study that emphasizes the importance of using credible data in order to influence the design process. With this we can make decisions based on the best information available from research, from project evaluations, and from evidence gathered from the client.

In order to deliver a safe and aesthetically pleasing environment, Interior designers study Human Factors, which is the science of understanding the properties of human capability and the interaction of them with their surroundings. This consists on but does not limit the study of sustainability, environmental psychology, ergonomics and anthropometrics
