The re-use of existing buildings has become an indispensable component of formation and development of urban environments. Therefore, interior design, a profession which includes the design and application of renewal projects of existing buildings and interior spaces according to the needs of users and by taking accessibility, sustainability, and aesthetics into consideration is gaining significance. Interior designers need to have an extensive knowledge on spatial design, building codes, health and safety, ergonomics, the psychological impacts of spaces on people, materials, applications and project budgeting. In order to design functional, effective and long-lasting interior spaces interior designers should be able to analyse the historical and environmental conditions of a project site properly, follow up the latest developments in the profession and be aware of social and cultural differences of users.
