01Design Fundamentals: Elements and Principles
This domain checks whether you can name the elements and principles of interior design (in English and in the Greek terminology used in Cypriot technical schools) and then apply them to a described space. Questions typically give a room description - proportions, ceiling height, window position, function - and ask you to justify a decision through proportion, balance, rhythm, emphasis or unity, not to recite a list.
451 words, about 2 min02Interior Space Planning and Functional Layout
Space planning questions ask for a defensible layout: zones that match the brief, circulation that meets minimum widths, furniture placed with ergonomic clearances, and room relationships that work in daily use. Marks are lost far more often through numbers than through drawing quality.
481 words, about 2 min03Colour Theory and Colour Schemes in Interiors
Colour questions ask you to name the harmony, justify it against the light and function of the room, and specify colours in a recognised system (NCS, RAL, Munsell). Vague answers such as "warm colours" without a system reference or a reason usually score in the lower band.
511 words, about 3 min04Materials, Finishes and Furnishings
This domain tests selection by performance, not appearance. You should be able to choose a floor, wall finish, textile or piece of furniture against a stated use pattern, and write it into a specification with codes and ratings.
458 words, about 2 min05Lighting Design
Lighting questions test the layers of light, lumen-based calculation (not wattage), coordination of switching with the reflected ceiling plan, IP zones in wet areas, and energy reasoning. Layers: ambient/general, task, accent, decorative, plus architectural cove and wall-wash.
496 words, about 2 min06Technical Drawing and Representation for Interiors
This domain tests scale, line hierarchy, dimensioning convention and the ability to read and produce plans, elevations and sections that a contractor could build from - not decorative presentation drawing. Plans: 1:50 for single rooms, 1:100 for whole flats, 1:200 for site layouts.
535 words, about 3 min07Building Construction and Services Relevant to Interiors
Questions here check that your drawings are buildable: partition build-ups and thicknesses, opening sizes, ceiling voids for services, coordination of electrical and plumbing points, and safety requirements that an interior scheme must not breach. Load-bearing masonry and concrete must not be removed without structural engineer approval; non-load-bearing options include 100 mm brick, 200 mm block and stud partitions.
531 words, about 3 min08History and Styles of Interior Design and Decorative Arts
Recognising periods by plan type, construction, material and ornament, and placing Cyprus within the international sequence - Byzantine, Lusignan Gothic, Venetian, Ottoman and British colonial alongside the modern movements. Greek house: rooms arranged around a courtyard, with the oikos (living room) and andron (men's dining room); the megaron is a rectangular hall with a porch and central hearth.
466 words, about 2 min09Design Process and Project Work
The design process domain tests the working method from brief to presentation, and whether you can document each stage: analysis, concept, development, specification and costing. Marks go to traceable reasoning, not to pretty boards.
