HISTORY

Interior design did not emerge as a specialist profession until the beginning of the 20th century. It had existed in one form or another since confined spaces started to be used as homes.

Nowadays, the interior designer/decorator is a member of a professional body who plans or directs interior architectural work by designing spaces to live, work or travel in by applying the regulations in force in order to improve the living conditions of citizens.
