Interior design is an art. It is not a fine art. It cannot luxuriate in its independence as can painting and sculpture, forming
itself without regard to any but aesthetic demands. It is, instead, a hard-working art, with serious and sometimes mun-dane problems to solve. … Interior design is also a craft. Technique and experience count a lot in this field, just as they
do in the finest of fine arts. … [Expertise] is achieved through the increasingly rigorous education that our profession
requires and through the subsequent practical application of that education.
