• An interior designer is usually involved from a
  very starting stage with a building project from
  the beginning, perhaps even working with the
  architect. His job is to help create functional
  interior space by understanding how the
  inhabitants will use each room. He may consider
  light, sound and other design aspects also the
  structural considerations as well.
• An Interior Designer deal with the form and
  function of a house and work with creating a
  pleasing environment through interior space
  designing and planning. They can reconfigure a
  space to make it more functional. They are the
  main link between the Decorator and the
  Architect.

• They can design the lighting and/or light
  fixtures, design and specify the plumbing
  fixtures, hardware, colors, and supervise the
  fabrication of custom furnishings, as well as
  monitor and manage the construction and
  installation of the design. They should be
  professionally trained and should be licensed.
• An interior decorator is not involved with the
  design of the house/building or the layout form
  of the interior space. He is focused entirely on
  the furniture, colors, textiles and textures of a
  room. His job is to capture the personality and
  style of the residents and express it in their
  space with the apt materials. An interior
  decorator is mainly preoccupied with interior
  finishes and existing surfaces- they deal with
  embellishment and enhancement.

• They typically work with surface decorations such
  as paint, wallpaper, fabrics, furnishings,
  lighting, carpets, and rugs. They work with style
  and mood. They do not move walls or add any
  structural change of the space, but will help
  beautify a space when no structural change is
  needed. No need for any formal education to be an
  Interior Decorator.
• Hiring a Designer or a Decorator
• Who you should hire will depend on your needs. If
  structural changes are desired then generally
  an Interior Designer  would be the better choice.
  They can help plan for significant structural
  changes and help make them happen.

• On the other hand, if there are no structural
  changes needed but you need 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. They know
  what works together and can transform a room to
  suit the clients' needs and desires, without
  doing any technical work. At the end making the
  right decision for fulfilling your purpose would
  be the aim.
