    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.
