DESIGN, AESTHETICISM AND THE EGYPTIANS

When the phrase 'interior design' comes up in a conversation, do the typical images of sofas, tables, flower vases, mirrors and paintings pop up in your head? It is almost hysterical how we associate the concept of interior design just to the idea of decorating our spaces, be it our bedrooms, living rooms or offices – but in reality, it is so much beyond that.

For interior designers themselves, the projects that come by their way are not merely an activity to make a living by furnishing and beautifying their clients' space, but to understand the person who is going to live or work in that place, to make the place feel like their happy place – a place that they can call their peaceful spot - where the heart is without fear.

Do you prefer artist paintings on your walls or printed wallpapers that you can change every few months? Lightings with dimness controllers, sofas with wooden or metal legs, gold or silver cutlery, lamp shades of fabric, jute or cane – we have made significant progress from where we started decorating our homes. It is unreal – the plethora of beautiful units available to us to adorn our surroundings. In today’s day and age, interior design is massively different from what it meant to the Ancient Egyptians, it holds much more meaning and satisfaction of aestheticism and utility at the same time.

While we have now arrived at modern themed design styles that are uniform across the oceans and seas, preferences and choices in earlier times form a base for design styles as they are. The chandeliers of France, in-house fireplaces of early America and the sculptures from the Indian subcontinent are spread over the globe in the present because of their design value. It is imperative for one to understand themselves and their choices to clear the innumerous doubts that bombard their minds while designing their spaces.
