Interior Designing: Its A Beautiful World!
Now let's look at interior design. This area is about planning space and furnishing the interiors, whether of private homes, public buildings, or commercial establishments. It involves the use of creative and technical solutions to a structure to achieve a built interior environment that solves the customer's problems and links space to business strategies and goals, or personal needs.
The recent real estate boom has brought into focus the need not only for attractive and exotic structures, buildings, and innovative urban complexes but also for professionally-designed interior spaces.
Basic aesthetic sense, creative sensibility and imagination coupled with a logical and analytical mind are the major pre-requisites. While you can get into this field without any formal training, a working knowledge of computers and design specific applications is important today. There are a lot of institutes that offer diplomas as well as courses that can be a year and or longer in duration. These courses are open to aspirants who have passed Class 12 in any stream.
The Centre for Environmental Planning and Technology, Ahmedabad (www.cept.ac.in), offers a five-year programme in interior design to students who have completed senior school with science. Apeejay Institute of Design (www.apeejay.edu), DIA Academy, and Raffles Millennium Institute (www.raffles-design-institute.com) in Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore and Exterior-Interiors, New Delhi (www.exterior-interiors.com), too, offer bachelor's and diploma programmes in interior design to students from any discipline. Selection is on the basis of an entrance test.
