Beyond dream homes, hotel rooms, and trendy restaurants, interior designers play a very important role on television. The most popular shows and series go to great lengths to create atmospheres that envelop the characters and hook the viewer.

Meticulously taking care of every creative aspect of the sets, such as colors, photography, costumes, and especially the decorations, is crucial for achieving audience success.
Every color counts and is what characterizes a good set. Both the director and the director of photography are clear on this, and it's the first thing they communicate to the interior designer. A professional who becomes an art director when the settings are prepared before the clapperboard sounds.
