Answer:

Are architects and engineers ultimately responsible for most of the jobs that interior designers perform?

No. Increasingly, buildings are designed not as completed objects, but as "shells" into which tenants and others create their own design. Think of the numerous examples of completed exteriors with incomplete interiors such as shopping malls, restaurants, office buildings, hotels and apartment complexes. Interior designers focus on and specialize in the planning of the interior elements of a building's design.

Answer:

Is lighting important to the mood of a room?

If your rooms seem drab and dull, check your lighting. Consider replacing an old shade, installing wall fixtures, adding more lamps and, where there is no table, introduce a floor lamp. Making a few of these changes will heighten the gratification of your personal spaces. Everyone deserves to be able to say, "No matter what kind of day I have had, when I come home I feel uplifted".
