According to the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID), to carry the title Interior Designer, one is required to have a Bachelor of Science degree in Interior Design. They must have work experience in the field with technical training and are required to complete annual Continuing Education (CEU’s – 10 hours every 2 years) to maintain their appellation with ASID.

Some people call themselves an Interior Decorator because it does not require a formal education. At times those who do not have the above skill set or credentials give themselves the label of Interior Designer.

This means it’s up to you to select a real designer and not one who calls themselves a designer because they recently designed their own bathroom and living room. In this article, we describe a House Decoratordesigner and offer a few suggested interview questions to expose if they truly have the skill set. If you are interviewing someone to design and specify your renovation project, make sure to get clarity on which role they can fulfill.

“Interior design is the art and science of understanding people’s behavior to create functional spaces within a building, while interior decorating is the furnishing or adorning of a space with decorative elements to achieve a certain aesthetic. In short, interior designers may decorate, but decorators do not design” (ASID).
