Today, the students of the Department of Interior Design and Furniture face a real challenge represented in the need to raise their design and creative capabilities. However, we still have shortcomings and a lack of curricula for design with a creative direction, as well as the failure to make optimal use of the creative energies inherent in interior design students through which innovation can be made. Attractive and unique designs that achieve a competitive advantage for them locally, regionally and globally, and by identifying the concept of lateral thinking, its characteristics and objectives, one of the methods and strategies that have a vital and effective role in supporting and developing lateral thinking among design students has emerged, which is the Scamper strategy, as this strategy has proven to be the most successful and advanced in The application, among the many current problem-solving methods used in the design process, is simply a strategy for generating ideas.
