Study
of "Interior Design" as a reflection
of the mind.

Dear
friends, we as humans are a composite of mind,
body and
spirit. All these three in proper coordination,
create the
world around us. The things, which we want in
life, are first
created in our mind, then our mind sends signals
to our brain
and the brain sends signals to various parts of
our body to
take action and thus "reality" gets
created.
This means that whatever we imagine in our minds
gets converted
in reality. The program of our mind decides what
we imagine.
I mean if I want to decorate my bedroom,
everything from the
type of furniture I choose to the budget decision
will depend
upon my "broader attitude" towards life.
If I am a "budget conscious" person,
then this will affect right
from the initial stages of the design. I will look
at the design
from a conservative point of view. Thus
everything, which gets
created in reality will have an influence of my
personality.
Here I am not trying to say that only high budget
designs are
good. I have seen works of many interior
designers, who have
spent their entire lives on studying low cost
design projects
and also have won awards for their magnificent
work.
That's why any interior design project can not be
fulfilled without
active participation of the client or the user.
Creativity
doesn't have any boundaries of budget. Any piece
of art which
fulfils the functional need and also the
aesthetical need can
be easily accepted as an architectural element.
Budget is
not a constraint at all. On the other hand the
budget constraint
sometimes is useful to generate some good ideas
for a particular
problem.
An interior designer is not an artist, because an
artist basically
performs his acts to satisfy his own desire. This
could be
any performing art or other forms of arts. His
piece of work
may not have any functional use from user's point
of view.
An interior designer is not even a technician or
engineer.
Because when an engineer builds a design he need
not worry of
making it "beautiful". His primary aim
is to make it functional.
He puts his entire energy in making the design
functional.
That's why an interior designer is one who
satisfies both the
functional as well as aesthetical part of the
design. Sometimes
it is easy to accomplish the functional part of an
interior design,
but since the definition of beauty is different
for everyone,
it is extremely difficult to satisfy each and
every user's
aesthetic hunger.
This is particularly true about interiors in
public spaces.
For example a bank building has a definite use and
function for
all the users. We can safely create a list of
functions a person
would perform when he visits a bank. But this does
not
mean the bank reflects his personality, like the
first paragraph
of this article mentions.
That's why interiors in public spaces always are
designed by taking
into consideration something called as "mass
personality".
This is a general attitude of the kind of mindset
everyone would have
or is likely to have when he/she visits that
space. If you
visit large corporate software office premise, you
will see this picture.
Office interiors always have a certain kind of
order in them.
The use of colors, design styles have a kind of
commitment in
them, which is expected from you when you work
there.
On the other hand a bar or a restaurant has some
sort of mood
generating atmosphere, which sets you loose.
Because this is
what is expected in a public space like a
restaurant.
Thus any interior space is always associated with
people. A space
which serves its functions best and makes the
users comfortable is
bound to succeed as a favorite place.
I hope this article was informative to everyone.
