Architecture and Interior Design go hand in hand. A building has to be to scale and proportion. Doors, walls, windows all properly placed. Rooms built to the correct specifications. This allows for movement, and cohesiveness through the space.
Interior Design helps bring the space together, uniting both the exterior and interior. The type of furniture used, different shapes, form ,texture and patterns adds personality to the room. The value of colors used in the room can either make the room feel warm (using browns) or feel cool (using blues).
In an open plan space linear perspective is used. Because there are no walls separating the space, the illusion of separate rooms is achieved by using different sizes of furniture and layering colors.
Another example would be the combining of both modern and traditional interiors and exteriors (which is one of my favorite combinations). Interior Design and Architecture are also combined in office buildings, stores, hospitals, to name a few.
In office buildings, scale and proportion is used again. When you have many people working in one place, it is essential that the space flows. Interior design comes into play using muted colors to help eliminate distractions. Cubicles need to be properly placed, it would be hard to work with a large amount of people, if space was not properly defined. In both interior and architectural design, there needs to be a degree of practicality.
Who would live in a building for very long, if they couldn’t move around comfortably, or they were worried that it would cave in on top of their heads.
