The profession of home design has been a reaction to the continuing development of society along with the complex architecture which has resulted from enhancing industrial processes.
The quest for effective using space, user well-being and functional design has contributed to the creation of the contemporary decor profession. The profession of home design is separate and distinct in the role of interior decorator, a condition commonly used from the US; the word is less frequent in the UK, in which the profession of decor is still unregulated and as a consequence, in fact, not really officially a profession.
In ancient India, architects would also are the interior designers. This can be seen on the references of Vishwakarma the architect—one from the gods in Indian mythology. In these architects' style of 17th-century Indian homes, sculptures depicting ancient texts and events have emerged inside the palaces, while in the medieval times paintings paintings were a standard feature of palace-like mansions in India often called havelis. While most traditional homes are actually demolished for making way to modern buildings, you can still find around 2000 havelis[2] inside the Shekhawati region of Rajashtan that display paintings paintings.
In ancient Egypt, "soul houses" (or designs of houses) were put in tombs as receptacles for food offerings. From these, it's possible to discern information regarding the home design of different residences through the different Egyptian dynasties, for example changes in ventilation, porticoes, columns, loggias, windows, and doors.[3]
Throughout the 17th and 1700s and to the early 1800s, interior decoration was the concern with the homemaker, or even an employed upholsterer or craftsman who does advise on the artistic style for the interior space. Architects would utilize craftsmen or artisans to complete home design for their buildings.
