Focus: The Design Process

How does what we do affect you?
Most of what we see through interior design in the media focuses on the end result, the product. Just like how in the first 20 images of googling "interior designer" resulted in images of completed rooms. The design process is where everything is worked out, the ups and the downs, but that is what creative people love. The trace paper that is in the trash, but that got you to the final product is just as important. Most shows on the media focus on the before and after, sending the family away and coming back to the final result. In our society we want the result, quickly and effectively. The interior design has to consider the aesthetics and how the environment is going to affect its occupants, when the occupants just get to enjoy the results.


Research Questions:
1. Does interior design have purpose beyond creating visual beauty?
2. How does the interior design arrive at the finished product?
3. Does the lack of showing the design process reflect the American desire to seek the end and not the journey?
