The key distinction between an interior designer and an interior decorator centers on their areas of expertise and education. An interior designer possesses the knowledge to work with architects in shaping the interior space of a home. They are involved in the design process from the beginning, considering both functionality and aesthetics.
Conversely, interior decorators focus primarily on aesthetics, enhancing spaces with furniture and decor to achieve visual appeal. While interior designers can undertake decorating tasks (which we also do at MDS), interior decorators are not trained to engage in the design process.
