What are the movements and styles of interior design? -Video Included in the end-

Writer: Muhammad MughrabiMuhammad Mughrabi

In the world of art, any artwork falls under a specific movement like impressionism, cubism, minimalism, modernism, and surrealism

Interior design is just like the rest, belongs to some art movements

And to give any design a value we must include a movement or a style inside it.

Knowing that we are free to create our own style, but it needs a huge amount of experience and skill

But as an academic start, we need to follow and adhere a movements elements and vocabs

With it golden ratios, rule of thirds and its strong points and lines, symmetry and asymmetry, balance, and more of composition rules which we will speak about in the upcoming videos if god wells.

[Intro] Mohammad MUGHRABI, Interior designer&Visual artist

Before we start our topic for today I want to advise you to watch a tv show called "Design rules" for a British interior designer "LLB" consists of 6 episodes

One about space and planning, one about color, about pattern and textures, again about space and planning and one extra about personality, they define most of interior design principles that we talked about and we will cover in the coming videos.

I will include it in the (i) and the description box

Lets go back to our main title and review most famous interior design movements in the 20th and 21st century

Characterized with strong and bright colors, sharp corners, blues, reds, and oranges

Curves, bright colors, simple and elegant furniture no patterns, doesn't belong to a specific era or personality

Looks like modernist but it uses the less to fully functional interior design

Monochromatic colors which we will explain in the coming videos precisely influenced by Japanese artists.

Characterized with floral and mixed furniture and its complicated details grapes, golds, pastel, beiges, and purples.

A mix of minimalist & Art-Deco and a little modern in blender and results this style

New and recent, can not be clear, characterized with it strong colors, rudeness in details picking and our mentioned designer is famous in it

and because of our backwardness of civilization in our Arabian and Islamic countries, we see that all movements born in the west [Europe & America]

So I am going to mention a movement that I adore its details which is the "Islamic style" and its richness in vocabs

Mashrabiyat, Niches, Domes, Floral & Geometric ornaments, Porcelain "Kashan", Zellige, Muqarnas, Mosaico tiles "Cement tiles", Interleaved wood,

And lot more details that can not be covered with its beauty

With the civilization came and the huge amounts of art movements and its mix became difficult to pick pieces from one movement because of variations in

Market & Suppliers

Supply and demand

Material availability

Budget

Space & Area

And the most important [Client need]

So there is a group of general styles interior designer uses in present time lets have a look at it

With that said lets learn how to make what called a mood board which is a board that gathers materials photos of furniture light fixtures textures and colors and so on

And now lets have a look at some examples of mood boards about earlier mentioned styles

After getting familiar with the general look of the mood board lets try making one

On Islamic style for example

First step to choose colors

Sure said we will speak about color precisely

But I choose a photo and am gonna pick my color palette right from it

I chose this photo from Andalusia

These are the colors I extracted from, the whole process is random

I liked to pick marble for luxurious flooring

Bluish gray walls

Dark green mid-century chairs

Islamic arch with Islamic geometric ornaments for the entrance

White sofa to kill the dark green color of the chairs

Huge coffee table to mix and match the style overall

And its own styling

Eastern painting to match also

Huge lantern to be the focal point [will be mentioned in the composition episode]

Orange color for small pieces

Modern rug with a light blue pattern on it for example to combine pieces together

and that is simply it for a mood board!

Easy to prepare almost, and make one step closer to the final design shape

If we specify the style which we will work with and its mood board we would limit the open space of our design

and we left with an easy design process overall

In the coming episodes we will talk about color, lighting and materials & textures that make us so close to the final result of our design if god wells

that was our subject for today, I am MUGHRABI, Mohammad, hope to see you soon, peace
