    Introduction

    Overview of the Industrial Revolution

    Approximately stretching from the late 18th to the mid-19th century, the Industrial Revolution was a critical juncture in human history, bringing about significant changes in technology, economy, and society.

    This period saw the shift from rural, agricultural economies to industrial, developed societies, starting in Britain and extending to other regions of Europe and North America.

    It introduced new industrial techniques and equipment that completely transformed sectors including coal mining, iron, and textiles, resulting in much higher productivity and efficiency.

    The power loom, steam engine, and spinning were innovations that increased productivity and changed the nature of employment by moving manufacturing from small-scale artisanal workshops to massive factories.

    The labor force underwent a substantial transformation due to the Industrial Revolution. In the quest for work, people moved from rural areas to growing industrial towns due to the expansion of industries and the need for unskilled labor.

    As a result of this widespread urbanization, cities saw fast urbanization and increased population that frequently exceeded the time needed to build suitable infrastructure and housing, resulting in unsanitary and crowded living conditions.

    Despite these difficulties, the period also helped many people's living standards to rise since a greater variety of goods and services were more widely available due to increased production and technological breakthroughs. In terms of the economy, the Industrial Revolution signaled the start of steady expansion and the rise of capitalism. A larger portion of the population was able to purchase the commodities due to their reduced pricing as a result of improved production and efficiency.

    Alongside this economic change came the emergence of new financial markets and institutions, which made it easier to invest in facilities and industrial projects, thereby promoting economic growth.

    The Industrial Revolution had a significant social influence. As more women and children joined the workforce, traditional family structures and gender roles were transformed by the growth of a factory-based economy.

    A specific working class also began to emerge during this time, and labor movements that pushed for higher pay and working conditions also grew.

    As the need for knowledgeable citizens and skillful labor grew, the revolution also fueled improvements in education and literacy.

    The world was altered by the Industrial Revolution, a complicated and multidimensional period of history. The form of modern metropolitan communities, the modern industrialized economy, and the continual technical developments that propel economic and social change are all clear examples of its influence.

    Importance of Interior Design in the Industrial Age

    The late 18th and early 19th centuries saw the advent of the Industrial Age, which brought about profound changes in social, technological, and economic spheres.

    The significance of interior design became apparent during this period of significant shift as it adjusted to the new lifestyle and employment patterns.

    During the Industrial Age, large production, quick urbanization, and the new industrial lifestyle required interior designers to think beyond only aesthetics when creating spaces.

    The increase in urbanization during this time was one of the main factors contributing to interior design's significance. Cozy living
