Interior Design did little in the way to reverse the commercial fortunes of the group, and did not appear on the album charts in the US or the UK. The singles "So Important" and "Just Got Back from Heaven" did better, both of which reached the top ten of the BillboardHot Dance Music/Club Play chart at No. 8 and No. 7 respectively.[1] "Just Got Back from Heaven" also appeared on the Hot Dance Music/Maxi-Singles Sales chart at No. 24.[2]
CD versions of the album included a number of bonus tracks including three versions of the album's final track "Madonna", a remix of "So Important" and the short instrumental "The Big Brass Ring".
Re-release
In 2008, Sparks' own record label Lil' Beethoven Records reissued the album in a digipak sleeve retaining the bonus tracks.
Alternate titles
For unknown reasons, Interior Design has been re-released multiple times in various European territories as a budget CD or cassette. The most common retitled version is Just Got Back from Heaven. However, many other versions have been released often utilising images of the mid-seventies Island-era iteration of the band. Other releases marketed the album as if it were a greatest hits album.
Interior Design was the first Sparks album since 1979's Nº 1 in Heaven that wasn't supported by live performances. However, they staged a promotional event called Love-O-Rama at the Tower Records store in Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles on September 15, 1988.
