What is the difference between an interior designer and an interior decorator?
You might think interior designers and decorators are the same thing, but there are significant differences in what they can do for your home. Interior decorators focus primarily on the decorative aspects of a space. Interior designers, on the other hand, take a more holistic approach. They consider the overall function of the space in addition to its aesthetics. This includes factors such as space planning, lighting design, and ensuring compliance with building codes. Essentially, interior decorators are concerned with how a space looks, while interior designers are focused on both how a space looks and how it functions.
At Roomes, our interior designers bring years of experience and professional qualifications, with deep knowledge of architectural principles and spatial planning. They can assist you with planning, determining the best use of space, considering factors like traffic flow, furniture placement, and the intended use of each area. They also excel at colour and material selection, guiding you in choosing colours, textures, and finishes that will create a cohesive and appealing atmosphere. Lighting design is another key area of their expertise, as they'll plan the lighting scheme, considering both natural and artificial light sources to enhance the ambiance and functionality of your space. Furniture selection is crucial, and they’ll help you choose pieces that are both stylish and functional, considering your needs and budget.
