THE DIFFERENCE YOU SHOULD KNOW BETWEEN INTERIOR DESIGNER AND INTERIOR DECORATOR

Decking up your home just the way you want it is everyone's wish. And while it's great to take the DIY path, not everything can be accomplished on your own. 

If you've ever had to face this situation, then like everyone else, you too have had to choose between interior designers and interior decorators.

The choice between the two can be difficult, to say the least. But with Decorpot, our interior experts can help you decide on the right service. And to enable you to make a better choice, we've gone ahead and compiled this nifty guide on how to differentiate between the two.

Let's begin.

Interior Designers vs. Interior Decorators

While the terms interior designer and decorator are used interchangeably, there are significant distinctions between how they operate.

Interior designers are concerned more with space management. They work to enhance the space utilization of the property, make it more functional, and in line with the client's requirements. In order to do so, they often use CAD and related software tools.

Decorators, on the other hand, are more concerned with aesthetic and visual embellishments. They work with furniture, furnishings, and color schemes that enhance the visual appeal of the property.

It is to consider that all designers can do the part of interior decorating, but decorators cannot perform the task of interior design.

Which One Do You Need?

This depends entirely on the requirements of your home. In case you're looking to hire a professional interior designer or decorator, we suggest, to look around and answer the following questions:

    > Have just bought/built a new home that has only structural components of foundation, wall, and roof?

    > Does your home require a complete renovation from false ceilings, paints, floorings to woodworks, and storages?

If you answer 'yes' to any of the above questions, then you're in need of a custom home interior solution by interior designers. Above all, if need a one-stop solution where you can fetch designing, manufacturing, and installing services, all from one place, then you need to approach a professional end-to-end interior designing company. Such as ours, serving in Bangalore, India. 

On the other hand, if you only need aesthetic enhancements such as choosing the right wallpaper and accessories, selecting the rugs, blinds, and throw-ups, or just looking for a fresh furnishing then interior decorators are the ones to go with.

Important Rule Of Thumb

One very essential point to remember:

For any kind of functional enhancement at your place, for an example, zoning out the living room into a TV sitting area, dining space, coffee table/cutlery units space, a private nook, etc. you will need an interior designing company to guide you and get your space tailored and installed for you.

In contrast, for giving a new look to your existing setup, and renew furnishings, an interior decorator is the best choice.
