Interior Designing vs. Interior Decorating

Looking forward to getting your new home or office designed and decorated? Are you considering getting you old office or home remodeled? Perhaps you have noticed that when you look for such services, some are listed as interior designers and others as interior decorator. The services provided by both of them are similar in many ways. Which is apparently the reason most people often confuse between the two.

While many would use the term office interior designers and interior decorators interchangeably, both are actually quite different for the services they provide. It is important to know the difference to better decide who would be suitable for the work that is needed to be done.

Interior decoration involves furnishing and decorating a given space with aesthetically pleasing and fashionable things, within a setting preferred by the owner. The setting should reflect the personality of the owner and also adding functionality to the space. Decorators are highly skilled in choosing the right color for the right space and also in choosing appropriate color combinations. They will make suggestions regarding the kind of furniture that would suit the décor of different parts and rooms of the house. Decorators are to decorate the given space without making any changes in the structure.


Interior designing is just a step ahead of interior decoration. Interior designing involves deep understanding of people’s preference which allows them to create an aesthetically pleasing and a functional space. The top interior designers in Mumbai can be decorators as well, but a decorator is not an interior designer.
