| Answer: The terms Interior designer and Interior Decorator are often used interchangeably. While both may have the ability and talent to create beautiful rooms -- as well as roles that often overlap -- the two are not synonymous.
An Interior designer is professionally trained to create a functional and quality interior environment while an Interior decorator is concerned with surface decoration like paints, fabrics, furnishings, lightings etc.
For instance, when it comes to floor coverings, an interior decorator will probably be responsible for choosing the type, color, texture, and pattern. The interior designer, on the other hand, will make the selection based on those criteria, with an additional eye towards the appropriateness of type, usage, sound transference, acoustic properties, flammability, off-gassing properties, static electricity requirements and flammability.
Hope that answers your doubt.
