Ans. A lot many times people seem to take both the terms for similar meanings but there are significant differences between the two. Firstly, a decorator is generally associated with only mixing and matching the available furniture and texture, whereas a designer is one who focuses on creating spaces, look and feel that transcends clients’ imagination. Interior decorators are typically don’t have any professional degree in Interior design or Architecture and have come up by doing various odd jobs. Often times they may have expertise in one or more particular areas but it is not right to expect a professional, all- inclusive approach from them. On the other hand, an Interior Designer or an Architect is professionally qualified and trained in all aspects of design and execution. An Interior Designer or an Architect can create seamless holistic themes that can transform any space.
Ans. A designer should be consulted as early as possible, may be around the time when you begin the construction work as it would be very important to get a professional advice on location of walls and windows respectively. Advantage of hiring a designer early is that you can start getting a better fix on the end product and move towards it. Beginning with the end saves a lot of costly mistakes that happen along the way in terms of change of design etc.
Ans. A little bit of patience and some faith! Other than that, we just need you to fill out a basic questionnaire that will help us understand your style, your preferences and your space. If you have a floor plan or any photos of your space, that would be great as well. Although optional, we highly suggest sharing any inspirational design pictures/pinboards that you might have come across and find appealing to your taste.
Ans. Yes. Of course! Just let the designer know upfront! If you want, they can also supervise your contracting team, if needed.
