Interjero

Interjero is a term used in several languages to describe the interior of a space and, more broadly, the professional practice that designs and decorates those interiors. It encompasses homes, workplaces, institutions, and public spaces, with attention to how space is organized, how furniture and furnishings function, and how the environment feels to occupants. The concept is distinct from exterior architecture and urban design, focusing instead on the inside experience.

The practice of interjero involves several interrelated activities. Space planning determines layout and circulatory flows; interior design selects furniture, textiles, colors, and accessories to create atmosphere and cohesion. Interior architecture combines design with structural considerations, ensuring that interiors meet safety, accessibility, and performance requirements. Other important components include lighting design, acoustics, acoustical comfort, materials selection, climate control, and sustainability. Designers balance aesthetics with usability, durability, and budget, often collaborating with architects, engineers, and clients.

Historically, the field evolved from decorative arts to a recognized profession in the 19th and 20th centuries, with modern movements shaping both residential and commercial interiors. Today, interjero practice relies on professional standards, digital tools such as computer-aided design and 3D visualization, and an emphasis on wellness, inclusivity, and ecological responsibility. Cultural context, climate, and local traditions influence style preferences and material choices, making interjero a diverse and regionally varied discipline.
