Interior designers began designing as far back as the Ancient Egyptians with their mud huts decorated with sculptures, murals, and animal skins. Romans and Greeks decorated their homes with simple items such as ironworks of pots, pans, and other related utensils. Then there was the era of the French Renaissance where decorators decorated with paintings, marble, and expensive furniture. After that, there was the Italian style that included stained glass. By the 19th century, there were numerous styles such as Art Deco, Bauhaus, and others.
