Interior Decorating
Interior decoration or decor is the art of decorating a room so that it is attractive, easy to use, and functions well with the existing architecture. The goal of interior decoration is to provide a certain "feel" for the room; it encompasses applying wallpaper, painting walls, choosing furniture and fittings, such as light fixtures, floorplans and providing other decorations for the area such as paintings and carpets. In some cases, interior decorating is performed professionally by certified interior decorators. Interior decorating is generally focused on the selection and presentation of interior items within a space, such as furniture, accessories and room layout. Interior design, on the other hand, involves manipulating the architectural integrity of the interior space. Interior decoration has become a popular television subject. In the United Kingdom (UK), popular interior decorating programs include Changing Rooms (BBC) and Selling Houses. Famous interior designers whose work is featured in these programs include Linda Barker and Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen. In the United States, the TLC Network airs a popular program called Trading Spaces, a show with a format similar to the UK program Changing Rooms.
