I was interested in interior design ever since I was a child. I enjoyed watching home design shows and when I played virtual life games on the computer, I mostly enjoyed decorating house interiors and used my creativity to make my own virtual home. My interest in interior design continued, I drew my own floor plans, like the ones I saw on tv, and I filled them in with furniture and color. I eventually bought apps for interior designing and continued to create my own works for fun. I also tend to judge people’s home interiors without myself realizing, and when I daydream, I mostly think about how a certain space can be altered into a better and attractive space. I was determined to major in interior design after viewing several model homes because I became influenced by the attractive designs and different moods each house had.
I am interested in interior design because it is fascinating to see how a simple change in lighting, color, material, and arrangement can change a dull and empty room. When designing, an original work is created through personality and creativity and there are no limitations in what must be formed. I want to develop more knowledge about how texture, fabric, colors, lighting, and elements of design all work together to form a comfortable, safe, and appealing space. Interior design is important because it provides safety, comfort, luxury, and an organized lifestyle. I want to be able to attract people with my creative ideas and help people feel satisfied with where they are.
