What makes a Professional Interior Designer different from an Interior Decorator?

  •  

    "The professional interior designer is qualified by education, experience, and examination to enhance the function and quality of interior spaces for the purpose of improving the quality of life, increasing productivity, and protecting the health, safety, and welfare of the public.

     

    The professional interior designer:

    • analyzes client's needs, goals, and life safety requirements
    • integrates findings with knowledge of interior design
    • formulates preliminary design concepts that are aesthetic, appropriate, and functional, and in accordance with codes and standards
    • develops and presents final design recommendations through appropriate presentation media
    • must by law, after presentation form, get a certified contractor to do the job, as it is against the law to do the work themselves, unless they are certified.
    • prepares and administers bids and contract documents as the client's agent
    • reviews and evaluates design solutions during implementation and upon completion."

     

    There is a distinct difference between interior decorating and interior design. Interior decorating is generally focused on finishes, such as wallpaper, paint, window coverings, and furnishings. Interior design involves manipulating the architectural integrity of the interior space as well as the creation of a lifestyle experience through the study of human behavior.
