What is the difference between a decorator and an interior designer?
While interior decorating is an important aspect of interior design, interior design encompasses a much greater scope of practice and professionalism. Interior decorating is the application of finishes, for example wallpaper, fabrics and furniture. By contrast, an interior designer:
  • identifies, researches and strategically solves problems to interpret the function and quality of the interior environment
  • is responsible for performing services relative to interior spaces, including programming, design analysis, space planning and aesthetics, using specialized knowledge of interior construction, building codes, equipment, materials and furnishings
  • is formally trained to prepare drawings and documents relative to the design of interior spaces in order to enhance and protect the health, safety and welfare of the public
  • understand artistic and technical requirements of a project, interpersonal communication, and management strategies
