Interior design is a profession concerned with anything that is found inside a space - walls, windows, doors, finishes, textures, light, furnishings and furniture. All of these elements are used by interior designers to develop a functional, safe, and aesthetically pleasing space for a building's user. The work of an interior designer draws upon many disciplines including environmental psychology, architecture, product design, and traditional decoration (aesthetics and cosmetics). They plan the spaces of almost every type of building including hotels, corporate spaces, schools, hospitals, private residences, shopping malls, restaurants, theaters, and airport terminals. Today, interior designers must be attuned to architectural detailing including floor plans, home renovations, and construction codes. Some interior designers are architects as well. In jurisdictions where the profession is regulated by the government, designers must meet broad qualifications and show competency in the entire scope of the profession, not only in a specialty. Designers may elect to obtain specialist certification offered by private organizations. In the United States, interior designers who also possess environmental expertise in design solutions for sustainable construction can receive accreditation in this area by taking the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) examination. The specialty areas that involve interior designers are limited only by the imagination and are continually growing and changing. With the increase in the aging population, an increased focus has been placed on developing solutions to improve the living environment of the elderly population, which takes into account health and accessibility issues that can affect the design. Awareness of the ability of interior spaces to create positive changes in people's lives is increasing, so interior design is also becoming relevant to this type of advocacy.

5. Minimalism and interior design: towards hybridism.
July 01, 2009
Some year ago, minimalism was the hottest trend in interior design, however, that name ceased to constantly ring in everybody’s years. This never meant that Minimalism, as a trend, is over, but that as a trend, it came and went; therefore talking of minimalism in design is not that “hot” any more.
Nevertheless, Minimalism is still with us. Maybe we don’t hear of it that much because time goes by and the need to create more and new isms is imperative, but what Minimalism stands for is still more than contemporary, is current. These are some of the characteristic of this ism:

9. Cuba in furniture: a prowess through simplicity.
June 29, 2009
How on earth shall we conceive furniture signed with what we will call “Cuban style”? -Red- It might be said, but that answer would certainly reflect a lack of imagination or a crude, poor and plain association of notions. I have now found a collection that represents with fidelity (and I’m not saying with Fidel-ity) the Cuban spirit: Evocation of tropical beaches and palm trees, and above all, simplicity, innocence and warmth, characteristics of the Cuban soul and its idealism (very much associated with the North American transcendentalists such as Whitman and Emerson) always opposed to An...
