What counts as Craft in Interior Design?
Craft in interiors refers to hand‑made, artist‑made or studio‑made elements that elevate a space through exceptional technique, material mastery and artistic expression. These works often sit at the intersection of art, design and functional craftsmanship, bringing individuality, cultural richness and a refined human touch to luxury interior environments.

About the BIP Global Interior Design Awards
The BIP Global Interior Design Awards recognise outstanding interior design projects across diverse sectors, categories and typologies. Open to interior designers and design studios, architects and property professionals worldwide, the programme celebrates creativity, innovation, functionality and design excellence.
The awards include completed interior design projects, but we also welcome exceptional creative studios whose work is represented through high‑quality visualisations. For these entrants, the Rendering & Visualisation Excellence category provides a dedicated space to showcase outstanding CGI, rendering craft and interior storytelling.
Each year, the jury evaluates how thoughtfully interior design responds to context, function and the needs of its users, selecting projects that make a meaningful contribution to the quality and experience of interior spaces. While most entries are received through invitations and direct submissions, our editors, analysts and journalists also conduct independent research throughout the year to ensure that exceptional projects are recognised and awarded fairly.
