 We are Back At it again!  Although we did not slowed down during the pandemic, our focus was on organizing ourselves efficiently so that we could continue working and oblige the government safety protocols put into place.  We are excited that things are returning to normal, and hope we can put these two years behind us.
​
During a particular zoom call we were asked what the difference is between an Interior Decorators and  Designers.  Although both have similar qualities that are used in these two professions, they often get confused for each other.  So, how do you know when to choose a Designer or a Decorator?
​Designer
A Designer requires specific schooling and training as they work closely with Architect, Contractors, and City personnel to achieve a clients desire, all while keeping in mind the local building codes, fire safety, accessibility, efficiency, functionality, and acoustics. 

Like Architects and Contractors some states and provinces require a Designer to be registered with the Government before they can officially use the title of Interior Designer. 
​
Designers primarily work with special planning and renovations.  They are skilled in drawing up floor plans and placing accents that enhance the atmosphere and functionality of a room.
​Decorator
A decorator does not required special schooling, however there are still programs available to learn about colour, fabric, room layouts and more. 
​
Usually this individual works strictly with a finished space to create atmosphere and enhancing the look.  Their skill centers around them being able to enter a room and visualize styles, colour schemes, furniture locations and accessories.

So how should we choose which one we need?  The project requirement depend largely on the skill set of the hired professional and not just the job tile, but usually if the job requires structural work; such as windows or walls to move you may need a designer.  If the project is mostly aesthetic; changing furniture or colours a decorator is perfect. 

But the most important decision is understanding your needs and looking for someone who has a proven reputation for meeting them.
​
So, with your upcoming renovation project, who are you going to call?  We hope it will be LA Home Solutions!
