As an interior design professional, I strongly believe that interior design is more than just aesthetics; it is an essential element that can drive economic growth and create job opportunities in various sectors. In this article, I will share my thoughts on how interior design can drive job creation and economic growth.
Experts in interior design can work on commercial real estate and public spaces projects to provide custom solutions for clients, their customers, and visitors. These projects require many skilled professionals,which helps create job opportunities: for Architects, Project Coordinators, Accountants, Decorators, Quality Inspectors, Engeneers, Design Managers, and of craftsmen (Cabinetmakers, Upholsterers, Ironworkers, Glassmakers, Stonemasons, Ceramicists).
Good interior design (with the right balance between investment and outcome) can also attract potential investors, which impacts on overal more economic activity and jobs. Additionally, well-designed public spaces can enhance people's quality of life by making them more functional, comfortable, and beautiful.
Moreover, interior design can enhance the quality of life of the people living in a particular region. By designing interiors that enhance the quality of life, we contribute to the overall well-being of the community. For example, interior design of commercial spaces, hospitality venues, and public spaces can make them more functional, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing.
I understand the importance of building a vibrant and inclusive society. It is important that through interior design local heritage and culture gets preserved, and values that are appropriate for different regions get enhanced. Interior design can play a vital role in promoting tolerance and inclusivity, creating spaces that are welcoming to targeted community: well a coffee shop targetting teen-age K-pop lovers isn't be best place to gather for Middle-aged business tycoons with a taste for classic Western art and opera.
Luxury interiors often incorporate unique and rare materials and techniques, which require the skills of specialized craftsmen. These craftsmen, such as mosaic artists, wood carvers, and leather artists, are often located in remote areas of the world and face significant challenges in preserving their skills and finding work. However, the demand for luxury interiors can help to support these craftsmen and drive economic growth in these regions.
For example, there are companies that upcycle wastage from river pearl shells to create exquisite mother-of-pearl wall panels or use feathers that are left over from the food industry to create unique marquetry. These companies not only provide work for skilled craftsmen, but they also help to create sustainable solutions for the use of waste materials. By supporting these companies and their unique practices, we can contribute to the preservation of traditional craftsmanship while driving economic growth in remote areas of the world.
Interior design is an important industry that creates jobs, attracts investments, and enhances the well-being of people in different regions. As professionals, we have a responsibility to use our expertise to help the communities we serve.
