Hip Interior Design

Interior Design is more than merely hoosing curtians and furniture. It is a way of creating an enviroment that not only will you inhibit but will echo your personality, style, likes, dislikes and essentially who you are. While it may be true that you cannot judge a book by its cover, it is also true that by simply observing the interior design of a persons apartment or househod you can tell a whole lot about them. It may be something as simple as color associations,for example you walked into a room with a lily pink low gloss paint coat opposed to a room with deep royal blue flat paint finish - the obvious answer is that the first was clearly a females room while the latter is a males. Now of course a pink room does not definitively assign a room to a female nor does a blue to a male, but instantly we see how our first impressions can lead us to assumptions about the owner.

The possibilities of interior design are endless. That is a fact. In any given wall, room, apartment, or any amount of space the options are literally countless. So how you choose to orgainze your space will be inheriantly linked to you. There is no answer as to how to decorate an interior in a hip fashion. I apologize. But in reality there is no way not to design hip. Hip is linked to self identity, just as interior design is. You can decorate or not decorate or do whatever with a room as much as you want, but regardless the design is the first recogonizable thing and therefore a tribute to ones self identity. In my eyes, that is the beauty of interior design that the possibilities are endless.

However, like fashion design, car design, or any other form of design, there are styles that phase in and out. In class, we studied how hipness inevitably will lead to the consumer because people like to be "hip" - and companies realize this. In my web blog I explore some designing schemes that are trendy - and who knows- maybe trigger inspiration for ones own hip interior look.
