Designing vs Decorating | 8 Misconceptions of Interior Design

In this episode we are going to talk about the misconceptions between being a designer and a decorator. We’re going to discuss what people often think we do vs what we actually do, which is often quite different than people might think. This is an important episode because every once in a while we have a young person come up to us and say they wanna go to college to be an interior designer because of what they’ve seen on HGTV, but they don’t realize how different it actually is compared to what they’re seeing on HGTV. This episode should help you better understand what to expect and look out for if you or a loved one is thinking about going into this field of work.

“What I’m so proud of is that we can design this home, everything is finished, approved by the client, we can do all these drawings, put them in a drop box, and send them in the cyberspace and the cloud across the nation to Washington DC, or to wherever and a builder can build off of those documents. That’s the technicality and where we shine.” 20:00
