What is Interior Architecture?
Interior architecture goes beyond interior decoration to address the structural and spatial aspects of interior environments. Interior architects design the layout, circulation, lighting, acoustics, and material specification of interior spaces, working closely with the building's structural and MEP systems. In Ghana, the distinction between interior architecture and interior decoration is not always clearly understood, but it is important for clients undertaking significant interior projects.
