Here we go! The question “everyone” wonders are, what’s the difference between interior design and interior decorating? First off, I want to say that Interior Decorating is a trade of its own. Decorating and design can sometimes overlap but they are fairly different.

The © 2019 Council for Interior Design Qualification, Inc. expresses the Full Definition of Interior Design as this:

Interior design is a distinct profession with specialized knowledge applied to the planning and design of interior environments that promote health, safety, and welfare while supporting and enhancing the human experience. Founded upon design and human behaviour theories and research, interior designers apply evidence-based methodologies to identify, analyze, and synthesize information in generating holistic, technical, creative, and contextually-appropriate design solutions. Interior designers contribute to the interior environment with knowledge and skills about space planning; interior building materials and finishes; casework, furniture, furnishings, and equipment; lighting; acoustics; wayfinding; ergonomics and anthropometrics; and human environmental behaviour. Interior designers analyze, plan, design, document, and manage interior non-structural/non-seismic construction and alteration projects in compliance with applicable building design and construction, fire, life-safety, and energy codes, standards, regulations, and guidelines for the purpose of obtaining a building permit, as allowed by law.

Are you wondering what's the difference between an interior designer and an interior decorator? Listen in as I'm interviewing a talented corporate designer / interior decorator. She is giving us insights into her education path and post-education experience.
