...to Interior Design April 3, 2014 Esma Dengiz Article Response The article Student Perceptions: Debunking Television’s Portrayal of Interior Design by Lisa K. Waxman and Stephanie Clemons addresses the common misconceptions society, and design students have towards the true meaning of being an interior designer and the discipline interior design. Both Waxman and Clemons take a unique perspective when analyzing this issue. This article shares an interesting perspective that involves exposing the noticeable truth that affect students that come into the interior design study. Instead of arguing against the preconceived idea that design-related television suggest, both Waxman and Clemons pose an argument that implies to live with the perceptions but to dig deeper and get an education that really teaches what interior design truly is. My reaction to the article would be in total agreement to the authors’ findings. Starting with their first argument when they talk about how even though twenty-some years have passed since they got their degree in Interior Design and are now professors in the discipline, they still deem necessary to give to people an explanation of what they really do. Personally I can relate to that. Coming from engineering school and an architectural program I never found myself in the position of explaining people what the field of study was really about because it’s rather common knowledge to know what architecture really is. Transferring to an Interior Design...

...BETTER LIVING THROUGH INTERIOR DESIGN In today’s hectic world, it is often the little things that keep our lives from getting too stressful. Often, the most important space in a person’s life is in their home. Therefore, it can be argued that how a person designs their home can be a direct reflection on how happy they are in life. Before determining the type of design to incorporate into one’s home, many will consult a professional for advice. An interior designer has received education and training on how to best incorporate a client’s personality into their environment. It is an interior designer’s job to improve the psychological well being of their clients. This is achieved by respecting their client’s “social, physical and psychological needs and applying them in a safe and ecologically sensitive manner that promotes the health, safety and welfare of the clients” (Ball, 2002). The interior designer will take the client’s ideas and draft a simple outline of the design needed. This outline will include a budget breakdown so the client is aware of the monetary cost of their desired design inspiration. When considering a design style, an interior designer will begin each project or room as a blank slate. Regardless of how the room or area is currently decorated, the designer must be able to visualize the client’s ideas. It is the job of the interior designer to do simple and basic redesigns that can be easily changed, without the need of an architect, such...
