Background Information

Interior design is very important in society. Without interior designers, a lot of people would have very horribly designed homes. Homes don't design themselves. It takes a designer with a lot of acumen to make a good design. Having a well designed home makes people feel very comfortable with where they live.
No one really know when interior destign started, but if we go way back to the Egyptians they liked to have everything well decorated. Even the Romans from the earliest times liked to have their homes very well decorated as well. The Egytians had fancy ceilings and columns while the Romans had a focused view from each room and planned each room to meet a purpose. (venturist)
Interior designs like we have today mostly started with the Italian Renaissance. They were the first to use carpets, draperies, and large decorated mirrors to decorate their rooms. It was the most popular in the 17th and 18th centuries when it also influenced the French kings and queens. They were not abstemious in their designs. They liked it so much that they started putting their names on their furniture and decorations. For example, " The Louis styles are found in French furniture design during the whole 19th century" (http://www.egyptian-furniture.com/Egyptian_French-Furniture/Historic_Events_French_Furniture.htm)
Untill the early 1900's interior design was for the wealthy, but then it became available to everyone after the Industrial Revolution. This is the time when magazines started to print interior design ideas. Since ordinary people started decorating, that's when interior design grew.
Even though we don't know an exact date on when interior design started or any one person who actually started it, we do know it's been around since way back in the day. It shows that the people have cared about their homes for a long time. Now design is for everyone not just for the rich.

introduction

I know what colors make a room feel "warm" and "cold". I know how to place furniture in a room so it can look bigger than it really is. there are a lot of textures you can use also shapes and lines. I chose this topic because I took a class on Interior Design and I liked it and I would like to have it as a career later on.
The first question I got is when it all started like the history on it?
The second question is why people would need their own interior designer?
The third and final question is if I would like to be an interior designer after I do this paper.
