 What are the most used principles of design in
interior & architecture?
Ancient Egyptian architecture falls into three
categories:
1. buildings for the living

2. buildings for the dead

3. and buildings for religious rites

 Egyptian interior design is just one of many
different types of design that can be used when
it comes to the design of your home. If you are
looking to give your home a look of elegance
and feeling of ancient civilizations then this
very well could be an option that you will want
to consider.
 This design is not something that is limited to a
home, it is a design that can be used in a
business as well.
 The primary reason that people would want to use
Egyptian interior design is because they want to
set themselves apart.
 They are looking for a distinct look that will allow
them to be the talk of the area.
 One can also be using this theme if they are
looking to express their heritage. Look at all of the
different options that you have available to you as
far as this design style is concerned. In many cases
a history buff would go with this theme possibly
for one room and use a different civilization for
each room that they are looking to decorate. Use it
as you like and get the most out of your room or
home.
