Interior Designer or Interior Decorator. Many believe that the two are the same. But there are some significant differences in the two professions.
A Interior Designer has the education, training and experience to make structural changes to your home. Would manage the construction and installation of a design. Making sure designs are in compliance with building and safety codes. Designers are also, in some states, required to have a license. The license certifies the designer is qualified to make complex decisions about interior spaces.
A Interior Decorator is primarily concerned with surface decoration. Will have the ability and expertise to transform an interior with the use of color, paint, wall papers, furnishings, fabrics, window treatments, accessories and art placement. Helping you put the finishing touch on each room of your home. They can help you select the appropriate products to create the look and feel you want for your environment. Warm and Cozy, Causal Elegant, or Bright and Cheery?
Although there are few schools for interior decorators, most are geared toward the profession of interior design, many decorators are trained and have studied the principals and elements of design and will use that training and skills to help you complete your decorating projects. They will also have available to them products that are offered to the trade only. Allowing you access to products you would not have on your own.
I am proud to say I am a Interior Decorator and have NO desire to be a Interior Designer.
In a future post I will give you some tips on hiring a Designer or Decorator.
