When should we enlist the services of a designer?The earlier you find a designer the better. In the construction phase of your home, hiring and planning the house out with your designer is the best idea as any changes to the cookie cutter plan you would like to make, can be incorporated without the change becoming expensive. In case of re-doing your room, or your home. You will be able to get a clearer direction as you plan your renovation. Bringing a designer half way through the renovation process makes it difficult because you have already made a significant investment and the designer might have different ideas which take a different direction to reach realization.

What is the difference between an interior designer and a decorator?Typically, interior designers are trained and liscenced professionals, whole decorators are trained professionals who are not liscenced by any regulatory body, The regulations change from country to country and state to state, so someone who is a designer in one country might legally call themselves a decorator in another. The regulatory body in Canada and the United States is NCIDQ. Additionally, Canada also required ARIDO liscencing for interior designers.
