Interior Designers vs. Interior Decorators…What’s the Difference?

When it comes to redesigning a condominium's common areas, it is important to know the difference between an interior designer and an interior decorator. Interior designers focus on the functionality of the space and can manage structural changes, while interior decorators focus on aesthetics and decorating. Interior designers require specific schooling or training and are often required to become registered with a governing council. On the other hand, interior decorators usually have no formal training or credentials. Knowing which professional to call depends on the specific needs of the project, whether it is just decorating or structural changes are required.
