Interior design is the art and science of enhancing the interior of a space to create a more aesthetically pleasing and functional environment. It involves understanding how people will use the space and designing it accordingly to meet their needs while also considering factors like safety, comfort, and aesthetics.
There are several types of interior design styles, each with its own unique characteristics and elements. Some of the most popular types include:
