=Welcome to LA Interior Design!=

**"Unless** the **LORD** **builds** the **house**, its builders labor in vain." Psalm 127:1a
Interior design is planning solutions for the layout and furnishings of an architectural interior. These solutions are functional, enhance the quality of life and culture of the occupants, and are aesthetically attractive. Designs are created in response to and coordinated with code and regulatory requirements, and encourage the principles of environmental sustainability. The work of an interior designer draws upon many disciplines including environmental psychology, architecture, product design, and traditional decoration (aesthetics and cosmetics).

Good interior designers are able to create indoor spaces that not only look good but also work well.
We will use this wiki for some of our classwork and illustrations.

Interior Design - Where do I begin? Always consider the //use of the room// first! What your changes accomplish? The size of a room or the features within it dictates basic interior design elements. The proper use of scale applies to paint and fabrics as well. While rooms painted white appear larger, that doesn’t mean all small rooms should be white. The general rule is larger rooms accommodate bigger furniture and patterns well, just as smaller rooms work better with less furniture and reduced prints. Choose a focal point – the area that demands attention as soon as someone enters a room – can be just about anything, but remember the rest of room’s design will be built upon and around it. Repeat the main color throughout the room more than once. Add a pattern, print or texture**.** These offer both a visual and tactile thrill. Let your decorating reflect your personality, not just the current trends. You will be the one spending time there.
