Interior Design
Interior design is how a home actually feels to live in — how rooms are laid out, how light moves through them, how surfaces and colors interact. Good interiors are quiet about their intelligence.
Layouts that involve structural changes, electrical or plumbing rework should be reviewed by licensed professionals.
