Commercial interior design





Taking cues from the print design world, which went from the utilization of drawing boards, acetate, razorblades and photocopiers for most of their work to switching everything to programs like Quark Express, Photoshop and Illustrator, the interior design world is moving towards the virtual world. Interior designers wanting a better way to keep the various aspects of their very complicated business together are relying on programs that let them budget their projects, plan their interiors, manage all their choices in furniture, wall coverings, flooring, curtains, etc. To be able to have all these options in one place is now simply a matter of finding the right software.

Interior design software can be a blessing, especially for project managers who have been frazzled for years by trying to keep it all in unison. There are programs that allow designers to show their clients different phases of the project along with multiple possibilities that exist for each phase. Some applications include detailed spreadsheets that allow designers to enter room specific parameters or customize pre-existing formats to fit the space in question. Many software programs which also incorporate the use of AutoCAD symbols, have substantial number crunching abilities, and allow designers the freedom to plan project budgeting guidelines with different dealers.
