The American Society of Interior Designers has published five sector brief reports that explore the various influences affecting the interior design industry and, in turn, the work of interior designers. The briefs examine the factors affecting design in the education, healthcare, hospitality, residential and workplace sectors.
Building on the research published in the ASID 2016-2017 Outlook and State of the Industry report, each brief presents an exploration of the unique factors affecting interior design in each of the five sectors, including the economy, environmental protection, security, generational differences, well-being, community, design excellence, data and knowledge and value proposition.
The briefs were developed from literature scans, surveys and a series of Think Tank discussions with design leaders from each sector. Think Tank participants were convened to validate the research and to make recommendations on how designers can get ahead of external influences and prepare their businesses to succeed in the future. Design sector briefs are available for download at asid.org/resource-center.
