Clear and attractive graphics are frequently a vital part of nonresidential interiors such as airports, hospitals, and schools. The interior designer is concerned with all aspects of how a space looks and functions. He may also choose to design particular components of the interior himself, such as furniture or graphics or he may choose readily available items from a wide variety of manufacturers' and designers' ranges. 5, record 1, English, - interior%20designer

Il faut distinguer l'«architecture d'intérieur» de ce qu'on nomme communément «décoration». Dans l'acception courante, ce dernier terme signifie une activité dont le but est moins celui d'organiser que d'«embellir» les espaces intérieurs, de leur donner du «caractère» ou du «style» [...] En ce sens, bien souvent, l'architecture d'intérieur se confond avec la décoration [...] L'architecte d'intérieur se substitue en quelque sorte au client pour lui proposer un véritable «art de vivre». 3, record 1, French, - architecte%20d%27int%C3%A9rieur
