As mentioned before, most people
think of interior designers as decorators, it is an assumption hard to get out
of people’s mind. But now I’m going to show you the differences of both fields,
what kind of schooling they are required to have, what they do, who they work
with and such.
Interior Design:
-
Schooling: It requires professional training and
specific schooling, such as studying color and fabric, CAD training (graphic
design), space planning, furniture design, architecture and more. In most states, after graduation they are
required to pass an exam, and become registered with the government council
before they are actually called designers.
-
What they do: Designers do planning, and can
renovate interiors, right form drawing up the initial floor plan to placing the
last decorative accent. They take care of the look and the function of the
room.
-
Who they work with: They normally work closely
with architects, and contractors to achieve the look client desire, either that
is a recital, commercial place, either it is a hotel, an office (...).
Decorators
-
Schooling: They don’t need formal training or
schooling because they majorly focus on aesthetics. They don’t take part in
renovations or structural planning; they take place in the surface look of the
space. Even though no training or no special
schooling is required, many courses are provided for decorators, such as color
and fabric, room layout, space planning, furniture styles and others.
-
What they do: They put the space into shape.
They help clients decide on the style, choose a color scheme, purchase furniture,
and accessorize. They are often brought up when the space needs to be updated.
-
Who they work with: they don’t normally work
with architect or contractors, they normally work with furniture makers,
industry professionals
With these differences, I hope you are now able to recognize
what an interior designer does how it compares to a decorator.
