Underline and correct ten mistakes in the following passage. Write the corrections in the space given below.

INTERIOR DESIGN

In first glance, you may not think that your bank, for instance, has been special designed. But in fact, the look of most every room that is used by the public is the work of a professional designer. A design must take in account the activities which will take place in that space and create atmosphere in tune with them. More than ever before we understand that our surrounding influence our behaviour to a great extent. For example, dim light and soft red colours may look attractive at home but would be out of place in an office where employees were expected to alert at all times. Designs must also be in harmony with the architect of the building and consider the fact that users need to be within reach of conveniences like power points. Interior design, in other words, is one of few professions requiring a combination of artist talent and practical skills.
