🛑 Hiring a decorator when you really need a des 🛑 Hiring a decorator when you really need a designer?
You’re not alone — most people confuse the two. But that mix-up?
It can lead to blown budgets, unfinished spaces, and major frustration.

👀 As someone who’s walked into too many half-finished homes and commercial projects, we’ve seen the fallout firsthand.

Here’s the difference that matters:

👷‍♀️ Interior Designers:
✅ Trained in space planning, building codes, lighting, acoustics & construction
✅ Design how a space functions — not just how it looks
✅ Think in CAD files, not just color palettes
✅ Start before the walls go up

🎨 Interior Decorators:
✅ Focus on styling — color, texture, furniture, and accessories
✅ Work after construction is done
✅ Specialize in aesthetics, not architecture

💡 Both roles are valuable — but hiring one for the other can mean mismatched expectations and disappointing results.

If your space needs planning, permits, or plumbing coordination?
You don’t need a decorator.
You need a designer.

Because great design is invisible.
But its absence? You’ll feel it.

👉 Have you ever hired someone thinking they’d do both? Share your story below.
