Residential aesthetic choices

Home design is the planning and arrangement of residential spaces—choosing layouts, furnishings, colors, and materials to create functional and aesthetically pleasing interiors.

The term covers both professional practice and amateur interest: She's really into home design.

It overlaps with interior design but emphasizes the domestic context and often includes exterior elements like landscaping.
