Yes! Well... it depends how you are defining interior design. Are you thinking about finishes and furnishings? Or about the design of the interior space; how spaces relate to one another, circulation, flow, function? If you are speaking of design, and not decoration, please consult with an interior designer at the same time as the architect, or before. In my experience, interior designers think on a smaller, function based level; architects are about the big picture. An interior designer should ask you how you live. This question helps to guide design because they will consider your particular needs. Also, consult with a kitchen and bath designer before finalizing house plans. Most times, interior designers (and kitchen and bath designers) work with what they are given. Sometimes it is a fixed space. Sometimes a wall or two can be taken down. And we do the best we can with what we've got. BUT, many times, a designer dealing with interior spaces wishes they were consulted before plans were set in stone (so to speak). Sometimes, it is the little things that make a big difference in function.

Dear Viney, I am Ravi and I am an Architect. Designing is subjective and collaborative field which relies on many factors like context, location, lifestyle, culture, budget and more. Healthy communication and proper flow of information are quite essential part of any design process which leads us to smart and robust choices. There are infinite possibilities that can be done but to do anything we first must decide what not to do. Elegance in Design always work. I am sharing some images from one of my project where my client who believes in a simple and organized lifestyle; wanted a decent and elegant house for his small family. So I came up with doing minimal interior for him which is sophisticated and serene. He really loved it. Hope you like it too. Give me a call for further more. Thanks and Regards Ar.

As mentioned above create more moodboards, 2ds,3ds or sketches of different store designs say furniture store, Jewelry store, kids store, book store, or may be 1 shop store, etc . Also your basics on color theory ,lighting , flooring and electrical planning should also be good. Whatever design you add in a portfolio it should be backed with due thinking and explaination even if the designs are simple. You can contact me on my insta @ppriyanka87 if you need further guidance . All the best 😊
