What’s Interior Decorating really all ABOUT?
Furnishing, Interior Decorating and Interior Design are all very different… so you first need to know (or to decide) which you need.
Furnishing is the ACT of buying specific items and placing them in an environment… whether or not they actually work together, either functionally or aesthetically.
Interior Decorating is the ART of selecting and coordinating pieces of furniture and accessories to create a sense of harmony in terms of color, texture and theme… adding soft furnishings such as carpets, rugs and window coverings… and then enhancing them with memorabilia and personal touches to create a required look.
Interior Design is the optimization and utilization of the given space… including removing and/or adding walls, modifying ceilings, bulkheads and lighting, dealing with hidden items such as plumbing and electrical… and then ensuring the furnishing achieves the decorated result that was envisioned.
If all you want is to fill the room with furniture… or if you have the vision, flair and expertise to decorate on your own, then read no further… you’re good to go on your own!
However… if you don’t want to waste hard earned money creating an environment that either doesn’t work or which clashes aesthetically… then an interior decorator (or designer) can benefit you enormously.
