Interior design is a multi-faceted profession in which creative and technical solutions are
applied within a structure to create an interior environment. These solutions are functional, enhance the quality of life and culture of the occupants, and are aesthetically attractive. The interior design process includes research, analysis and integration of knowledge into the creative process that fulfills the project goals. (The National Council for Interior Design Qualification http://www.ncidq.org/)
