Dear Lorella
Please find following a list of 10 interior design books and journals.
As you've noted in your post - interior design has many alliances with
different practices such as exhibition, theatre, film, and so on which
makes it difficult to reduce to 10.
Here I have focused on those which address the discipline specifically
i.e. interior design.
I would be interested to receive a list of all references others have
suggested,
Best wishes
