The Lovely Artistry Associated With Interior Design

By Amanda Griffin


Exploring the world of interior design is interesting. The principles of visual texture, balance and cohesion, decorative ornaments, colour and space are a part of home designing. But do these concepts prove the argument that interior design is art? To clarify the issue, scholars turn to the list of philosophical debates to analyse the authenticity of interior as a true art form.

Over the centuries, art has evolved. The paintings found on the walls during the days of ancient Egypt are a bit different from the masterpieces during the Renaissance period. In fact, many people even today use pieces inspired by ancient style to decorate their homes. As the art of painting has evolved, so too has the art of interior decorating. Those ancient Egyptians had very different houses from our own. In fact, ancient decorative pieces can be deemed garish by today's visual standards.

Interior design, as a form of art, has undergone a myriad of changes and alterations over time. Whatever these changes may be, it can't be denied that such art requires a huge dose of visual artistry and precise manipulation of colours and textures of home spaces.

Going back to the earlier ages of interior design, an art masterpiece is judged on its own merits, without the rest of the pack's mentality encroaching on personal opinion. In the same way, a decorative scheme would be judged only on its merits.

Today, modern designs have left ideas that are in favour of schemes utilising aspects of various historical styles. Today, design, particularly in the modern world, art and design are a collective idea. This only warrants the idea that the art of interiors has evolved.
