About design and interior design


DESIGN

​Design is defined as the concept and design of all objects created by man, which makes it an old discipline, and the foundations of modern design are in industrial and serial production and aesthetics. Design is a synthesis of fine art, economics and technology with respect for sociological, educational, political and similar factors.

The main factors of design are:
  • aesthetics
  • functionality
  • ergonomics (the relationship of man with the environment)
  • symbolic value (each object is a sign of the environment and time, motivation)
  • comfort

INTERIOR DESIGN

​Interior is defined as an interior space, which can be defined physically or imagined.

Interior design is an experiment in exploring interior space based on given sociological, aesthetic, material and similar guidelines. Interior design deals with observing and finding the best solutions to satisfy the psychological and practical needs of a person in a space. An interior designer is fundamentally concerned with functionality, safety and aesthetics in order to support a person in a space and to positively influence their mood, productivity and general well-being of those who reside in it.

Interior design thus plays a key role in transforming any space into a functional and aesthetically pleasing environment, encompassing the art and science of improving the interior and ensuring that the space is not only visually appealing, but also serves a purpose. Creating thoughtful interiors, which have the properties of aesthetics, functionality and ergonomics, create a safe and pleasant place to live and work, lift the mood and improve the daily experiences of the occupants.

AESTHETICS: Interior design plays a key role in enhancing the visual appeal of a space by creating visually pleasing environments that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. When designing an interior, elements such as color, texture, pattern, and furniture arrangement are carefully considered to create a visually pleasing space. Aesthetic laws include symmetry, proportion, and rhythm, and are guided by the principles of harmony, contrast, balance, dominance, and unity.

Colors play a key role in aesthetics, being carefully selected and combined, depending on the impression one wants to create. Along with colors, various textures and patterns are also important, which bring depth, layering, and sophistication to the interior. Furniture arrangement is another important aspect of interior design aesthetics and affects the overall appearance of the space. Well-placed furniture creates a sense of harmony and elegance, while poorly placed furniture disrupts the aesthetics of the interior or room.

FUNCTIONALITY: ​Functionality is an important aspect of the interior because it contributes to creating a harmonious balance between aesthetics and practicality, and greatly affects the experience and productivity of its occupants. The space is carefully considered and furniture is placed in places that best optimize its functionality, usability, room accessibility and movement within the space. Using simple shapes, colors, fabrics and materials, the focus is on creating beautiful, yet highly functional spaces that are designed according to the way they will be used.

ERGONOMICS: Every human-environment relationship is an ergonomic relationship. A discipline that explores various sensory and socio-psychological characteristics of humans in order to adapt objects, environments, processes, production and other systems to humans. In this process, ergonomics has the task of preventing possible injuries and illnesses, increasing efficiency in production, distribution and use, and ensuring greater safety of use. Some of the key factors in ensuring comfort and positive energy in a space are the selection of appropriate lighting, maintaining optimal temperature, good insulation and acoustics, and the selection of ergonomic furniture.

“Dizajn interijera definiran je kao profesionalna i sveobuhvatna praksa stvaranja unutarnjeg okruženja koje se bavi, štiti i odgovara na ljudske potrebe. To je umjetnost, znanost i poslovno planiranje kreativnog, tehničkog, održivog i funkcionalnog rješenja interijera koje odgovara arhitekturi prostora, a uključuje proces i strategiju, mandat za dobrobit, sigurnost i zdravlje, s informiranim odlukama o stilu i estetici.” - IIDA Inter.
