In this edition of Lamudi Q&A, we describe exactly what an interior designer is and what he/she can do for you and your property.
Q: What is an interior designer for?
An interior designer works with clients and other design professionals to create indoor environments that are safe, functional, and aesthetically pleasing. Their main goal is to fully satisfy the requirements of the people using the space.
Q: What is the difference between an interior designer and an interior decorator?
While both designers and decorators are similarly involved with the aesthetics, style, and mood of indoor spaces, only interior designers are professionally trained and licensed in space planning.
Q: Why should I hire an interior designer?
Who you should hire will first depend on what you need. If the work involves structural work like breaking down walls, installing windows, or rerouting plumbing, then an interior designer would be best. A designer can develop the plan of the changes you want to have made, and fully assist with its implementation.
Unlike decorating, which you can make at an attempt of doing on your own, interior design involves intricacies that are better left to professionals. Remember, both interior designers and decorators can create beautiful and functional spaces, but an interior designer works on more than just the visible surface.
