In ancient India, architects would also be interior designers. This can be seen on the references of Vishwakarma the architect—one in the gods in Indian mythology. In these architects' variety of 17th-century Indian homes, sculptures depicting ancient texts and events are noticed inside the palaces, while throughout the medieval times sketches paintings were perhaps the most common feature of palace-like mansions in India also known as havelis. While most traditional homes are already demolished to produce way to modern buildings, you will still find around 2000 havelis[2] inside the Shekhawati region of Rajashtan that display sketches paintings.
In ancient Egypt, "soul houses" (or designs of houses) were positioned in tombs as receptacles for food offerings. From these, you are able to discern information about the design of different residences over the different Egyptian dynasties, for instance changes in ventilation, porticoes, columns, loggias, windows, and doors.[3]
Throughout the 17th and 1700s and in to the early 1800s, interior decoration was the concern from the homemaker, or even an employed upholsterer or craftsman who'd advise on the artistic style with an interior space. Architects would utilize craftsmen or artisans to complete design for their buildings.
