Designing a house is not merely about its façade or appearance. The space inside the house needs to be planned in order to create comfortable atmosphere and make the residents feel at home. However, arranging space in a house is not an easy task. It requires careful planning to make the concept of each room in harmony and live up to expectation.

When it comes to creating a beautiful and neat space arrangement, an interior designer is the right person for the job. Interior designers have strong spatial capabilities as well as technical skills in designing the aesthetics of space. Interior designers are also professionally trained in space planning hence the rooms inside can be designed to suit your preferences and needs. Interior designers are often entrusted to furnish a house within a predetermined budget.

Although the job of interior designers is often seen as beautifying rooms, their role is more than just that of a decorator. Design has a broader meaning than decoration. Design means solving problems and accommodating the residents' needs while decoration is only limited to beautifying something.

The workflow of interior designers is similar to architects. Interior designers will initially consult or interview the residents as the client to find out their needs, hobbies and overall lifestyle. Interior designers will then create a proposal of rooms design in 3D images so the client can visualize the space for their home. After the proposal is approved, interior designers will create architectural drawings including floor patterns, lighting plans and furniture drawings before realizing the plan in construction.

In essence, the task of interior designers is designing space that makes the house suit what the clients need. Their services are also needed to help designing the appearance of many rooms in the house such as living room, bedrooms, workspace, bathroom as well as family room. This will also include selecting wall paint colours, determining lighting, furnishing, and selecting floor up to ceiling materials.
