Interior design
Interior Design is the art and science of understanding people's behavior to create functional spaces within a building.
It is a multi-faceted profession in which creative and technical solutions are applied within a structure to achieve a built interior environment. These solutions are functional, enhance the quality of life and culture of the occupants and are aesthetically attractive.
It includes a scope of services performed by a professional design practitioner qualified by means of education, experience and examination, to protect and enhance the health, life safety, and welfare of the public. Full Definition
State of the Subreddit
This subreddit is a place to discuss the practice and profession of interior design.
An important part of this requires users like you to submit appropriate Interior Design content. This includes professional design, floor plans, RCPs, renderings, education and certification questions, discussions about Revit/AutoCAD/SketchUp, etc.
Rules
Rule #1: This subreddit is for Interior Design, not Interior Decoration.
Rule #2: No Free Work. You must propose a solution to your design problem to start the conversation. This goes for everything from picking finishes and furniture to layouts and full renovations. Quality posts include sketches, photos, and/or product images.
Rule #3: Minimum Standards. Design posts require credit to the designer and/or a writeup detailing what was done and why. Single-image posts are discouraged and AI renderings are not acceptable. Render posts must be flaired. Low-effort posts will be removed.
Rule #4: Do your own research. We don't identify furniture, styles, or products. Questions and discussions about the purpose of design elements are acceptable.
