Interior designer
Description
Interior spaces designers are in charge of thinking about the final disposition of the interior of built spaces and ensuring their correct execution. They may work both in the construction of new works and in the rehabilitation or renovation operations of buildings, and both in spaces intended for housing and spaces intended for jobs, or in any other type of use (for example, a hotel or a teaching centre). Therefore, interior spaces designers may participate both in the design stage or definition of any work and in the execution stage of this work.
Thus, these professionals are the one in charge of devising and developing the space. Therefore, they require a comprehensive knowledge of the project and the relationships that are expected to exist among the people who will carry out some activity there, always looking for the comfort and usability of the interior space.
Interior spaces designers may develop some specializations to address some segments of the job market in a more specifically way, such as furniture and lighting in domestic environments, production (for example, in offices or industrial production plants) or in interiors for collective use. Another specialization may be to ensure the image and decoration of a specific business or commercial group (for example, a hotel group or a franchise company), being in charge of communicating the concept and the brand, the business image and transmitting it through the design and the decoration of the interior architecture with the appropriate furniture, the suitable colours and materials, the correct lighting, thus prioritizing the transmission of a certain identity.
