| HISTORY OF INTERIOR DESIGN |
The term interior designing was coined around 100 years ago. Yet, the concept of interior designing history dates back to millennia. Historical evidence suggests that the remains of paintings, wall art, pottery, and ornaments in the remains of historic civilizations provide strong evidence of the existence of interior design.
For example, people painted cave walls with charcoal and limonite. The remains of these wall paintings suggest that it was done to decorate their caves.
Interior design has been a profession for just over 100 years.
started out as the practice of decorating, combining form and function, has advanced significantly over the past century to become the highly specialized fields of interior design that exist today and call for years of training and experience.
The term "interior decorator" was first used in America in the early 1900s. The best decorators at the time had a combination of good taste, common sense, and a natural talent for interpreting and addressing issues, such as scale and proportion, despite the fact that the majority of them lacked formal education. The first interior decorator to receive a design "commission" was Elsie de Wolfe. "The House in Good Taste," written by Elsie de Wolfe, was the first book on interior design to be published. The first known commercial interior decorator was Dorothy Draper, who founded her design business in 1923.
A magazine called "Interior Design and Decoration" first used the term "interior designer" in the 1930s. Between 1943 and 1952, that magazine was not printed, but a rival publication called "Interiors" insisted on only using the term "interior designer," not "decorator." At this time, design schools also acknowledged the work of architects and engineers in addition to designers. More contract work than residential work was published in "Interiors." The phrase "and Decoration" was removed from the title of the magazine when it started up again.
When a group meeting was called at a furniture show in 1931 with the goal of forming a national professional organization, the result was AID, which at the time was the largest professional organization in the industry. In 1936, the American Institute of Decorators became the American Institute of Interior Designers (AID), changing the organization's name. The number of organizations and associations to represent the various professional members increased over time as the interior design profession grew.
The National Council for Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ) and The Foundation for Interior Design Educational Research (FIDER) were established in the 1970s to establish, maintain, and govern standards for the training and certification of interior design professionals.
The first law in the United States supporting the rapidly developing field of interior design was not passed until 1982. In Alabama, that law was passed.
The history of interior design is still undergoing a rapid evolution in a world that is simultaneously becoming more and more global and necessitating the fine-focus of critical knowledge in specialized fields. Interior design specialties, such as Design for Aging in Place, Universal Design, Healthcare Design, Educational & Institutional Design, Specialty Workplace Design, and others, are now widely accepted as the norm in built environments where the health, safety, and welfare of the public are of paramount importance.
