OVERVIEW
Interior architecture refers to the art and science of designing and modifying the interior spaces of buildings to make them more functional, aesthetic, and comfortable for occupants. It involves a combination of design elements, technology, and creativity to ensure the space meets the needs of users while considering aspects such as ergonomics, lighting, color, and materials.
Interior architecture is not merely about decorating spaces; it also encompasses an understanding of structural elements, space optimization, and the integration of modern technology to create harmonious and effective environments.
