What is interior decorating?
An interior decorator is a person who knows what décor to choose, what the fashion trends are, which colours go together, how to use lighting to great effect, and how to optimally arrange furniture. Through developing specific skills and industry knowledge, an interior decorator offers clients the professional services of decorating, revamping or remodelling work or living spaces.
An interior decorator does not, however, merely perform home makeovers. An interior decorator must also be able to:
- Work with a variety of spaces: from offices and mansions to hotel foyers and houses.
- Work closely with clients, understanding and catering to their needs and desires.
- Work out schedules and balance budgets.
- Work with textiles, upholstery, floors, ceilings, furniture and more.

An interior decorator must also have:
