You’re wanting help to improve the appearance and liveability of one or more rooms within your home, so you need an interior decorator, right? Or is that an interior designer? We explain the key differences between these two professional roles, helping you choose the expert best suited to your needs.
Interior Decorator Vs Interior Designer
It’s time for a fresh look at home, but you are not too sure what that should or will look like. So, do you need the services of an interior designer or an interior decorator? While there are similarities between the two professions, there are some key differences between the roles they play.
An interior decorator:
can assist with the choosing of colour schemes
considers how furniture and accessories can improve a property’s aesthetics
makes suggestions around furniture placement and type
particularly focuses on colours, textures, textiles and furniture usage
does not usually hold formal design qualifications
An Interior designer:
focuses on the flow within a room
makes suggestions regarding the interior spaces within a home
keeps up to date on the latest design trends
can act as a liaison between homeowners and contractors
enhances the function of a room
has a formal qualification in design
provides renovation design suggestions to architects and builders
There is also some crossover, with both interior designers and decorators able to assist with staging a home, purchasing and installing furniture packages and adding home décor accessories.
