Architects and Interior designers are both professionals who develop and build design plans of the building.

Why do you think this is important to learn/know from our course/field of design? INTERIOR DESIGN HISTORY TIMELINE: Stone Age 6000 to 2000 BC The first sign of an approach to interior design was noted in prehistoric dwellings featuring flora and fauna. Those dwellings were made of mud, animal skins, and sticks. Neolithic Europe 2000 to 1700 BC In comes the first defined handmade pottery that was used for both practical and decorative reasons.

Roman Empire 753 BC to 480 AD An austere age when royals weren’t able to evoke their wealth simply through their homes. The Romans decorated their homes with murals and mosaics, and furnishings featured clawed feet. The Dark Ages 900 to 1500 The Dark Ages saw disinterest in interior design with people opting for simple paneled wood walls, minimal furnishings, and stone slab floors. The Byzantine Empire 500 to 1500 During this period grande domes and decadent décor took center stage. The Renaissance Period 1400 to 1600 The beauty of interior design was a major feature during the Renaissance period with grand furnishings and art realized in vibrant hues and luxurious textiles like silk and velvet along with marble surfaces. Gothic 1140 to 1400 In response to the dark ages, decorative ornamentation and bold colors were once again prominent interior design features. Two hallmarks of the era carried over through to today are more windows for brighter homes along with open floor plans.

Neoclassical Style 1780 to 1880

The key here was in practicality and function taking importance before beauty. Tuscan 1840’s to Today Taking a cue from the charming and calming nature of Tuscany in Italy, the focus of interior design during this period was of straightforward simplicity with hints of luxury for good measure. Arts & Crafts 1860 to 1910 In order to highlight their opposition to mass-produced ordinary items due to the innovations of the Industrial Revolution, people turned to traditional crafts and classic elements to produce furnishings.

Some of the movement’s leading figures in include Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier, and Eero Saarinen, whose signatures seen in his forever popular Saarinen table and Saarinen chair are the epitome of the design style. Art Nouveau 1890 to 1920 The enthusiasm behind the Art Nouveau movement was in bringing in natural silhouettes derived by botanical elements that lent the era its signature curved lines and organic shapes. Colonial Revival 1905 to Today Popular in the U.S and spurred by the centennial, the Colonial Revival found inspiration from the Neoclassical and Georgian historical styles. By far the most popular style of the time up til WWII, some believe that the launch of the automobile helped to spark people’s interest in historical references as they were able to freely visit documented landmarks. Eclectic 1900’s to Today Eclectic style is all about harmony and the coming together of disparate styles, juxtaposing textures, and contrasting colors to create a cohesive, beautifully realized room that wouldn’t be out of place in a home décor magazine as this is one design style that takes verve and a great eye. And since eclectic interior design is all about experimentation and play, do have fun with the freedom it allows.

Modern 1918 to 1950 With a focus on sparse interiors and bold primary colors, Modern interior design eschewed the typically ornate and over decorated design aesthetic trending at the time. Bauhaus 1920 – 1934 Celebrated to this day for its grand yet minimal and beautifully executed gestures, and founded by German architect Walter Bauhaus, who also created the Bauhaus school of art and design in Weimar Germany, the movement quickly produced some of the most influential architects, sculptors, graphic designers, furniture makers, and design mavericks of the mid to late 20th century. Country 1920 to 1970 Today’s take on the modern country style of interior design is an idyllic classic.

The era relied heavily on clean lines, fuss-free angular shapes, bold color, and stylized patterns like zig-zags and optical figures. For added glamor, ornate embellishments and metallic surfaces were also hallmarks of the era. Mediterranean 1920’s to Today To evoke the feel of coastal European countries, textures from terra cotta, stone, and patterned tiles were heavily featured along with wrought iron, and aquatic hues. Surrealism 1925 to 1930 Surrealists like famous artists included Salvador Dali, André Breton, and Max Ernst used this avant-garde movement to free people from their associations of what was normal and ultimately predictable in design, music, art, and even interior design. Mid-Century Modern 1930’s to Today The vibe is fresh and poppy, retro-tinged, and completely alluring with its dedication to comfort and practicality wrapped up in beautiful design that never goes out of style. Unlike other aesthetic movements, mid century modern decor is streamlined in design, as form follows function while highlighting the materials used, rather than making them something they aren’t. Scandinavian Modern 1930’s to Today This movement highlights the virtues of beautiful designed, practical objects that are both easily affordable and accessible, which is why the movement remains popular to this day. Transitional 1950’s to Today Transitional style refers to a mix of traditional and modern furnishings, fabrications, and decorative features that lend you more freedom when looking to decorate your home with ease as there’s no end to the directions you can take the design style.

Postmodernism 1978 – Today This movement born as a challenge to what people saw to be the generic blandness of the Modernist movement.

1. What is the Relationship between Interior Designers and Architects in the Interior Design field practice? Based on my experience as an architecture student, Interior Designers and Architects have a similar work based on designing. Sometimes we have to work on a plate which involves designing the interior of the building. But based on my own understanding Interior Designers work on designing the inside of the building. As the name suggests it’s their job to make an interior to be functional, pleasant and appealing. While the Architects works include the decoration of the exterior of a structure as well as the placements of the rooms like kitchens,dining and bedrooms. 2. What is the difference between Interior Design and Interior Decorating? The Designer’s job is to plan the interior layout to make them physically, socially and aesthetically functional. While the Interior Decorating’s job is to decorate the specific room like paint walls, decide the wallpaper, choose the furniture or add different accessories. 3.

Why do you think this is important to learn/know from our course/field of design? ● Ancient Egyptians ○ The birth of interior design started on Ancient Egyptians. They used animal skins or textiles, murals, sculptures, and painted vases as their simple furniture in their own huts. While gold ornaments are used as luxurious decoration for the wealthier and powerful egyptians. ● Roman and Greek ○ The Romans and Greeks took inspiration on the Egyptians’ style of interior decorating. Greeks furniture mostly consisted of wooden furnitures with ivory and silver ornamentation. While the Romans on the other hand, had furniture made out of stone, wood, or bronze and was accented by cushions and tapestries to emphasize their own homes of their own wealth and status. However, both the Romans and the Greeks used vases, mosaic floors and wall paintings or frescoes to decorate their interior spaces. ● The Dark Ages ○ The Dark Ages was brought upon by the constant wars of Medieval Europe and the rise of the Christian church. The interior style mostly consisted of somber wood paneling, stone slab floors with minimal furniture. The wealthier individuals added wall fabrics and stone carvings in which are muted in color with simple textures. ● Gothic (12th century) ○ Europeans reverted back to color and ornamentation in their homes. The Gothic style was known for its use of open and high interior spaces with colorful windows that captured natural light. ● French Renaissance (15th and 16th century) ○ The elements of marble floors, inlaid woodwork, paintings, and wooden furniture were prominent in this time. These elements can be found on royal palaces, villas, and chapels of Europe.

● Baroque and Rococo (and Neoclassical) ○ Italian Baroque consists of the use of colored marble, stained glass, painted ceilings, and twisted columns. In the mid-18th century, Europeans began to like the interior Rococo style which makes use of Asian porcelain, flower designs, and furniture inlaid with elegant material such as mother-of-pearl and tortoise shells. Lastly, Neoclassical took a similar approach when it came to interior design with the Romans: they used bronze, silk, satin, and velvet very prominently. ● 1800s-19th century ○ Many interior design styles would come and go including: Art Deco, Art Nouveau, Minimalist, and Industrial Bauhaus. The 19th century came and the interior design became widely popular and it quickly reached the masses. Why do you think this is important to learn/know from our course/field of design? Just like most of the things in life, one must know their own past. This is very significant because it allows one to know or gain knowledge about the mistakes and errors of our past ancestors. In turn, it allows us to know how we as humans evolved or adapted. PREPARED BY: Quintos, Ethan Riann B.
