An interior design system comprising a display assembly having three flexible transparent overlays, a plain background sheet hinged to corresponding edges of the overlays, and a template sheet hinged to a free edge of the background sheet and having “scale”background and foreground grid sections for assisting in laying out interior room decorator\s designs with a comprehensive catalog of design elements printed with scale designs of perspective furniture and accessory designs, and architectural elements for creating the room space to be decorated. The catalog pages have rows of printed scale designs covered with transparent plastic, with overlying, selectively removable and replaceable design elements with designs that are printed to the same scale on carrier sheets of flexible “static-cling”material, the carrier sheets being rectangular sections that are cut from a printed sheet the same size and shape as the backing sheet. In this manner, the catalog pages provide marked storage positions for the design elements after use. In addition, the backing sheets are marked with descriptive labels and special coded symbols in distinctive shapes and colors for assisting in selection and coordination of interior designs, and also are imprinted with generic labels for the designs. The method constitutes the steps of providing the catalog of scale images and the background and foreground grid sections, labeling and coding the images for identification, coordination and storage, selecting candidate images from the catalog and transferring them to the grid sections, and applying the images in the desired positions and combinations, thereby to create a decorator\s design, and optionally applying colors as an overlay on the completed design for a more complete rendering.

For use in an interior design system, a sheet of design pieces comprising: a backing sheet having a relatively stiff body, and a plastic face on said body; a plurality of individual design pieces each comprising a transparent carrier sheet composed of clear static cling vinyl and bearing a print of a decorating article, each of said design pieces being substantially larger than the print on the carrier sheet, and overlying said face, said carrier sheets being edge-to-edge sections of a single sheet corresponding in size and shape to the size and shape of the backing sheet and separated from each other along lines cut in said single sheet; said face and said transparent carrier sheets providing interactive means for holding the design pieces removably on the backing sheet, whereby the design pieces are stored in a preselected pattern on said backing sheet for removal and replacement on the backing sheet.
