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. [...] 6, record 3, French, - architecture%20int%C3%A9rieure
