About this book

The latest edition of the groundbreaking introduction to interior design

Designing Interiors serves as a comprehensive overview of the basic knowledge required to become a professional interior designer. As the field of interior design evolves, education and practice continue to emphasize solid expertise in designing for people, their environments, and a better quality of life for all. This revised and updated Third Edition ushers in a new era of design for a new generation of interior designer students, with vital information on post pandemic design trends, additional coverage of sustainability, and key issues related to building codes. Design professors Rosemary and Otie Kilmer provide a complete design history that incorporates non-Western design and dynamic color illustrations that flesh out technical concepts.

This third edition of Designing Interiors also includes:

  • Space planning residential spaces post-pandemic
  • Expanded sustainability guidance including Green Certification programs; WELL, FITWEL, Energy Star, and more
  • Updated supplemental instructor resources and activities
  • New interior photographs illustrating today's interior design projects
