what is difference between interior designer and interior decorater?
Interior Designers vs Interior Decorators
Interior design and interior decorating are often misguided as the same thing, but the
terms are not completely identical. There are many comparations between the two jobs—so
many, in fact, that views contrast on exactly where to draw the dissimilarity. There are
also more than a few differences between the professions—some subtle, some significant.
As you decide which kind of help you need when planning changes in your home, it will
help to understand the differences between professional designers and decorators—their
schooling, their credentialing, their services, and their clientele.
Interior Designer
• Schooling: Interior design is a profession that requires specific
schooling and formal training. The work involved usually includes studying color and
fabric, computer-aided design (CAD)training, drawing, space planning, furniture design,
architecture, and more. Upon graduating, designers often apprentice with a registered
and established interior designer before moving on to establish their own companies.
• Credentials: In some countries , professional designers are required
to pass an exam and become registered with a governing council So it's a good idea to
find out what the situation is in your area before starting your search.
• What they do: Designers are comfortable with spatial planning and can
help design and renovate interiors—from drawing up the initial floor plans to placing
the last decorative accent. Designers don't just enhance the look; they also enhance the
function of a room.
•Who they work with: Interior designers often work closely with
architects and contractors to help achieve the look the client desires, whether that
client is designing a residential home, an office, a hotel, or any other interior space.
Interior Decorator
• Schooling: To practice professionally, interior decorators aren't
required to have formal training or schooling because they focus primarily on aesthetics
and don't participate in renovations or structural planning. A decorator comes into the
picture after the structural planning and execution are completed to focus on the
surface look of the space. Many professional interior decorators have college degrees in
related fields, but it is not a requirement for the profession.
• Credentials: Even though no schooling is required to become an
interior decorator, there are many programs and courses available. These courses often
focus on color and fabric, room layouts, space planning, furniture styles, and more.
Certifications from organizations like C.I.D. (Certified Interior Decorators
International) offer coursework and certification to help decorators authenticate their
practices.
• What they do: Good decorators are skilled at coming into a room and
whipping it into visual shape. For new spaces, they can help clients decide on a style,
choose a color scheme, purchase furniture, and accessorize. They're also often brought
in to spruce up an existing space that needs to be updated or redone.
• Who they work with: Decorators don't generally work with any
contractors or architects, since structural work is usually complete before they come on
board. They do, however, work with furniture makers, upholsterers, and other industry
professionals. Most often, though, they work directly with homeowners or business
managers.
Should I Hire a Designer or a Decorator?
Who you should hire depends on your needs. If structural changes are needed (such as
removing a wall, moving plumbing or wiring around, or adding new windows or doors), then
generally an interior designer is the better choice. Designers can help plan for
significant structural changes and help make them happen by working directly with
architects and builders. On the other hand, if there are no structural changes needed
but you need aesthetic help—deciding on a style; choosing wallpaper, paint, and
furnishings; picking window treatments, and choosing lighting and accessories—an
interior decorator will probably do the trick. Experienced decorators know what works
together and can transform a room to suit a client's needs and desires.
In the end, however, choosing the right professional depends largely on the skills of
the particular professional, not the job title. A great many designers with formal
schooling spend most of their time doing work that can be best described as decorating
since it involves no renovation or structural work. And there are just as many
professional decorators who, through long experience, are perfectly capable of working
with contractors and builders in the same way as a designer.
When hiring a professional, begin with clearly understanding your own needs and look for
a pro who has a proven reputation for meeting those needs, no matter what the formal job
title. It's generally true that designers are for space planning and structural
execution, while decorators are for the final aesthetic decisions. But don't be afraid
to cross lines to hire a decorator with a reputation as a good designer, or a designer
with a flair for decorating, provided their skills are proven.
How we charge?
1. Fixed Rates
2. Percentage Over Costs
3. Costs Per Square Metre/Square Foot
4. Retail Price
5. Combination Rates
Fixed Rates with pre-fixed rates, the client and designer will discuss
extensively - as much as is possible - the scope of the works, and an agreeable fee is
set.This fixed rate is generally supposed to cover all contingencies and on an
agreement, a part of this fee is paid in advance before works commence. The usual amount
paid initially may range between 10% and 40%, though this payment is different from a
retainer or deposit (a retainer is a certain amount of money paid to a designer to
reserve his or her time to work on a project), but whatever the case may be or whichever
terminology is preferred, a deposit, retainer or whichever, it will invariably be
treated as a form of deposit.
Percentage Over Costs This method is great for residential projects,
though it may be used for commercial projects as well. Charges are the net or wholesale
prices that the designer pays to the merchants, vendors, etc., and then a predetermined
percentage markup is applied to the net cost.
The markup is on the furniture, furnishings and labour incurred whilst working on a
client’s project. The actual net cost is paid to the designer plus a commission which is
inclusive of design and planning, selection, delivery and installations.
The percentage charged depends on the nature of works to be executed, which can range
from as low as 1% or less, if it’s a commercial contract (usually a large contract), and
may go as high as 40% if it’s a small residential project. This means that the
percentage charge will vary depending on the size of the project.
Cost Per Square Metre/Square Foot A very simple way of charging that is
commonly used for space planning tasks and is usually a small amount per square meter or
footage. What it entails is the interior designer simply measures the client’s space to
determine the square meter (or square footage) to be designed. Then multiply by a
pre-determined and mutually agreed amount. Space planning is a specialized aspect of
interior design and involves the design of space allocation to a person or group of
people to work in (or within), so that designated tasks and duties can be performed
optimally, with added convenience, efficiency and most especially, comfort.
Combination Rates This billing method is advised if working on a large
project and a complex one. The initial works of space planning can be charged per square
metre (or square footage), at a pre-fixed or an hourly rate by the certified interior
designer.
