==Specialties== [[Image:Electric wire reel reused in a furniture ecodesign.jpg|right|thumb|280px|An electric wire reel reused as a center table at a [[Rio de Janeiro]] decoration [[fair]]]] ===Residential=== Residential design is the design of the interior of private residences. As this type of design is specific for individual situations, the needs and wants of the individual are paramount in this area of interior design. The interior designer may work on the project from the initial planning stage or may work on the remodeling of an existing structure. It is often a process that takes months to fine-tune and create a space with the vision of the client.<ref name="autogenerated2004">Piotrowski, C, 2004, Becoming an Interior Designer, John Wiley & Sons, New Jersey, USA</ref> ===Commercial=== Commercial design encompasses a wide range of subspecialties. * Retail: includes malls and shopping centers, department stores, specialty stores, visual merchandising, and showrooms. * Visual and spatial branding: The use of space as a medium to express a corporate brand. * Corporate: office design for any kind of business such as banks. * Healthcare: the design of hospitals, assisted living facilities, medical offices, dentist offices, psychiatric facilities, laboratories, medical specialist facilities. * Hospitality and recreation: includes hotels, motels, resorts, cruise ships, cafes, bars, casinos, nightclubs, theaters, music and concert halls, opera houses, sports venues, restaurants, gyms, health clubs and spas, etc. * Institutional: government offices, financial institutions (banks and credit unions), schools and universities, religious facilities, etc. * Industrial facilities: manufacturing and training facilities as well as import and export facilities.<ref name="autogenerated2004"/> * Exhibition: includes museums, gallery, exhibition hall, specially the design for showroom and exhibition gallery. * Traffic building: includes bus station, subway station, airports, pier, etc. * Sports: includes gyms, stadiums, swimming rooms, basketball halls, etc. * Teaching in a private institute that offer classes of interior design. * Self-employment. * Employment in private sector firms. ===Other=== Other areas of specialization include amusement and theme park design, museum and exhibition design, [[exhibit design]], event design (including ceremonies, weddings, baby and bridal showers, parties, conventions, and concerts), interior and prop styling, craft styling, food styling, product styling, [[Tablescaping|tablescape]] design, theatre and performance design, stage and set design, [[scenic design]], and [[production designer|production design]] for film and television.
