An interior designer typically has a background in interior design, architecture, or a related field.

The missions of the interior designer

The designer begins by meeting with you to understand your needs, preferences, style and budget. Based on the information collected, he develops a detailed plan taking into account the technical constraints and aesthetic requirements that you have formulated. He then presents his ideas and concepts to you in 2D or 3D. Once the plan is approved, the designer selects the materials, colors, textures, furniture and furnishings that match the design you have approved. Finally, the designer adds the final touches to the space by choosing decorative elements, such as light fixtures, rugs, mirrors, curtains, etc. The services offered by the interior designer may vary depending on your needs and the nature of your project.

Differences between an interior designer and a decorator

It is important to distinguish the two professions because their roles and skills are different . The interior designer is responsible for designing the interior layout, including room layout, use of space, selection of materials and furniture. It intervenes from the design phase of the project. The decorator intervenes rather in the final phase since his role consists essentially of decorating the rooms and creating atmospheres and styles.
