Architect or Interior Decorator: What is the difference?
The Interior Decorator, the Designer of Aesthetic Spaces
“He listens to his client's desires to create a property that reflects his image.”
Its role is to optimize the spaces in the home as best as possible to offer you a comfortable, practical layout while focusing on the aesthetic dimension. It highlights the specificities of a room or building. For example, if you live in an art deco apartment, he will be able to offer you a decoration that enhances this style. The interior decorator works on an existing structure and does not do major work.
The decorator has a very good knowledge of the history of design, influences and trends to offer you designs in line with current tastes. Of course, just like the architect, he listens to the desires of his client to create a property that reflects his image... He will advise you and offer you ideas on furniture, its layout, colors, the harmony of spaces and the materials used.
The interior designer, the expert in your work
The interior designer designs and creates structures. He can therefore completely take on heavy work because he considers the technical and strategic part of the implementation. It can therefore redefine a space by raising or knocking down partitions, for example, or by creating a shower room where there was none before.
Before considering the aesthetic aspect of space, he thinks above all about the structure and its optimization: circulation in space, passage of technical elements, area of rooms... Above all, he designs plans to present the new structure envisaged and he may or may not be in charge of interior decoration.
The interior designer has a good knowledge of the different professions: plumber, electrician, carpenter, painter... He can therefore easily coordinate and monitor the work until final delivery.
