Although social media has become an important aspect of business strategies, there remains a gap in research on the impact of online content on visual professions such as interior design. Considering this gap, this qualitative descriptive study intended to investigate the impact of social media in exposing the non-designer audience to value interior design. To establish the study, a sample group of 100 non-designers was interviewed to find out whether social media played any role in increasing their engagement with and interest in interior design. Results reveal that social media increases respondents’ interest in interior design for two main reasons: the availability of a broad variety of visuals and accessing more content by exploring social media streams - both made possible by the internet. Results also confirm the role of social media in recognition of the professional potential of interior design by a non-designer audience. Findings also suggest that interior design itself is considered as a marketing strategy in social media to attract new visitors.

It is common for the original use of heritage buildings to become obsolete which in some cases can result in them becoming vacant and subject to deterioration. Adaptive reuse is an essential policy for achieving sustainability as it keeps a continuous building life cycle and avoids building destruction. It is one approach to sustainability where it retains the tangible and intangible values, resilience of the original building materials, and reduces waste and time. The decision-making criteria for compatible new use includes several criteria that affect sustainable development: economic, environment, social, legislative, and architecture. Several Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methods have been established in order to aid the process of cultural heritage preservation. This research aims to present an assessment model to support the establishment of appropriate new use by employing an Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). The decision-making software used was Expert Choice 11. The administrative hospital in Kyrenia, Cyprus, was selected as the case study in this research. Using the application of AHP with the participation of different stakeholders (experts and locals), a more compatible use as a community centre is proposed and supported by the research methodology.
