VARIOUS INTERIOR DESIGNING SPECIALIZATION COURSES:

Interior designers can specialize in a particular interior design discipline, such as residential and commercial design, with some developing expertise within a niche design area such as hospitality, health care and institutional design. In jurisdictions where the profession is regulated by the government, designers must meet broad qualifications and show competency in the entire scope of the profession, not only in a specialty. Designers may elect to obtain specialist certification offered by private organizations. Interior designers who also possess environmental expertise in design solutions for sustainable construction can receive accreditation in this area by taking the like LEADERSHIP IN ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN (LEED) examination.
The specialty areas that involve interior designers are limited only by the imagination and are continually growing and changing. With the increase in the aging population, an increased focus has been placed on developing solutions to improve the living environment of the elderly population, which takes into account health and accessibility issues that can affect the design. Awareness of the ability of interior spaces to create positive changes in people's lives is increasing, so interior design is also becoming relevant to this type of advocacy.

VARIOUS FIELDS IN INTERIOR DESIGNING:

Interior architecture :
Interior Architecture bridges the practices of interior design and architecture so that professionals working in the field have a structural and load bearing education with an emphasis on interior spaces. The field is similar to architecture in that it deals with structures and load bearing walls. It is similar to interior design in that it focuses on interior spaces.
The National Center for Education Statistics's definition of Interior Architecture: "A program that prepares individuals to apply architectural principles in the design of structural interiors for living, recreational, and business purposes and to function as professional interior architects. Includes instruction in architecture, structural systems design, heating and cooling systems, occupational and safety standards, interior design, specific end-use applications, and professional responsibilities and standards."
In the United States, what is considered "interior design" is called "interior architecture." However, a practicing professional cannot use the title of "Interior Architect" unless they complete the requirements for becoming a licensed architect.

Interior Decoration
Interior decoration or décor is the art of decorating a room so that it is attractive, easy to use, and functions well with the existing architecture. The goal of interior decoration is to provide a certain "feel" for the room; it encompasses applying wallpaper, painting walls and other surfaces, choosing furniture and fittings, such as light fixtures, floorplans and providing other decorations for the area such as paintings, sculptures and carpets. In some cases, interior decorating is performed professionally by certified interior decorators (C.I.D.)
Although the terms interior decorating and interior design are sometimes used interchangeably, each discipline exhibit a distinct difference in its scope. Interior decorating is generally focused on the selection and presentation of interior items within a space, such as furniture, accessories, finishes and room layout. Interior design, on the other hand, involves manipulating the architectural integrity of the interior space.

Architecture
is the art and science of designing buildings and structures. A wider definition often includes the design of the total built environment from the macrolevel of town planning, urban design, and landscape architecture to the microlevel of construction details and, sometimes, furniture. The term "Architecture" is also used for the profession of providing architectural services.
Architectural design is primarily driven by the creative manipulation of mass, space, volume, texture, light, shadow, materials, program, and pragmatic elements such as cost, construction and technology, in order to achieve an end which is aesthetic, functional and often artistic. This distinguishes Architecture from engineering design, which is usually driven primarily by the creative application of mathematical and scientific principles.
Architectural works are perceived as cultural and political symbols and works of art. Historical civilizations are often known primarily through their architectural achievements. Such buildings as the pyramids of Egypt and the Roman Colosseum are cultural symbols, and are an important link in public consciousness, even when scholars have discovered much about a past civilization through other means. Cities, regions and cultures continue to identify themselves with and are known by their architectural monuments.

Blue prints
A blueprint is a type of paper-based reproduction usually of a technical drawing documenting an architecture or an engineering design. More generally, the term "blueprint" has come to be used to refer to any detailed plan.

Environmental metaphysics
Environmental metaphysics is the metaphysical exploration of environments and their impact on people and animals. Metaphysics in this case is used in the newer use of the term "subjects which are beyond the physical world." [citation needed]
Much of what is currently being used in the field of environmental metaphysics is being labeled Feng Shui. Feng Shui is the Chinese term for Chinese practices made popular in the 1990s in the US during the initial trend of exploring the metaphysical effects of Design. In fact, however, many of the practices are derived from a number of other countries including India (Vaastu Shastra), Japan (Kaso), Europe (Geomancy), Native American and African Shamanic views and ritual practices, as well as Balinese methods and view of space clearing, Hindu views on prana, and Tibetan Buddhist principles and practices.
The field of environmental metaphysics also often incorporates principles and practices from a number of other more modern fields and groupings including aromatherapy, art therapy, sound therapy, studies in symbols from Jungian psychology and other sources.

Home is the measuring yards-stick of each one of us. Hence it must always be a ‘Home sweet home.’ Beauty in the home is essential to individual and family happiness. Good taste in Interior Decoration can be acquired by applying the principles of interior decoration deliberately, until the time is reached when you are all to do the right thing unconsciously. Interior Decoration should never be expensive, in the sense that you spend fewer amounts of time, energy and money.
The size of the furniture you select should be proportionate to the room size. As far as possible, try to beautify your home with what we have and with what we can collect from. Interior Decoration is an art by which you can transform an ordinary house to an attractive sweet home. It is an art of adjusting the space and furniture/equipment to suit the individual needs.
Hence Interior Decoration as many think, is not an expensive affair. It is not something that we can copy from one home to the other. Since a thing that may look beautiful in one house may look absurd in another house.
Learn the principles of Interior Decoration and then make your own arrangement to suit the members of your family and to the guests quite often expected. This will help each one of us the home makers, to give maximum satisfaction security to each member of the family, so that this in turn become useful members of the society.

BUILDING DESIGN:

Definition: Professional Building Designers, or Home Designers, specialize in designing single family homes. In some cases, they may also design other light frame residential buildings, agricultural buildings, and decorative facades for larger buildings. Unlike architects, Home Designers are not legally required to pass exams or receive special licenses. However, a designer who carries the title "Certified Professional Building Designer" or "CPBD" has completed training courses, practiced building design for at least six years, and passed a rigorous certification exam.While fees vary widely, most Certified Professional Building Designers charge between 3% and 6% of the total construction cost.
