Influences On The Future of Design Journals and Design Study
The initial findings that are presented through an An Illustrated History of Interior Decoration have made influential impacts on the writings in George Savage’s A concise history of Interior Design. The concepts of linking the interior to social history are basically echoed in Savage’s work. This early influence of Praz’s writing in the mid 60’s continued throughout the remainder of the twentieth century. The concepts that were addressed in Praz’s work An Illustrated History of Interior Decoration highlight the context of the interior designer, as a profession, in twenty-first century societies. The work of the interior designer needs to be able to mimic individual needs and wants, so the person can correctly be represented in the interiority of their home. This concept was initially introduced and highlighted by Praz, and this statement allows an insight into how the workings of the interior are conducted.

“Professors of literature, who for the most part are genteel but mediocre men, can make but a poor defense of their profession, and the professors of science, who are frequently men of great intelligence but of limited interests and education, feel a politely disguised contempt for it; and thus the study of one of the most pervasive and powerful influences on human life is traduced and neglected.”
—Yvor Winters (1900–1968)
