The Difference Between Stylists, Decorators, and Interior Designers
/
Wondering who should be added to your renovation construction team? A Gold Coast interior design team could suit.
We appreciate there are a number of professionals in the design, building, planning, and finishing industries. From tradespeople to contractors, architects, and decorators, it can be challenging to determine who does what and which people are the best fit for your team.
Depending on your project goals and needs, there is a different role and place for every team member and you may be best suited to one over the other. Not sure where to begin when it comes to the design and interior setting of your home? Read on to learn more about the difference between Stylists, Decorators, and Interior Designers to help decide which person should be a part of your team.
The Role of an Interior Stylist
Looking to sell your home? An Interior Stylist could be the person for you. Ready to prep, poof, and finish your interior home design, a stylist can help polish off your home before open house showings, photoshoots, or major holidays and events.
Dedicated to bringing together a cohesive look that shows off the best aspects of your home, a stylist can often be found on film sets, photography shoots, and working alongside real estate teams to help beautify your home. If you’ve finished the construction process and need to finish off the final look of your home without making any structural changes, a stylist might be the right choice.
How an Interior Decorator Contributes to the Project
Working alongside their Stylist colleagues, Decorators often consider the less tangible aspects of a space from colour palettes to paint selection and fabrics. While both professionals are primarily concerned with the top-level aesthetics of a space, Decorators can also provide advice on decorative finishes and furniture.
Working within the confines of a space and limited by existing structural choices, both Decorators and Stylists can alter the overall appearance of a space by further considering and bringing in lighting, contrasting colours, and reflective surfaces or mirrors to open up or close off a space.
When to Call an Interior Designer
Need someone on your side before the building process even begins? You may be best to call an Interior Designer. Sometimes referred to as an Interiors Architect, a qualified Interior Designer works with and can influence the overall structural plan for your new home, office, or room. Considering form, function, and utility, experienced Interior Designers often work alongside clients during the planning process through to final construction stages, inspections, and decorating.
Well versed in architectural principles, raw material selection, and similar design and style elements as their industry Stylist counterparts, clients interested in designing their home from the ground up to maximise its function, use, and value will be best suited to work with an interior design team.
Experienced Interior Designers in Queensland
From cabinets to flooring, window placement and trimming, just one of the top benefits gained by working with an interior designer is that they consider the entire layout of a home before finalising the look and feel with furnishings, art, and unique touches, the roles and responsibilities of Stylists, Decorators, and Interior Designers greatly differ. Best matched with client’s based on their construction phase and intended project outcomes, some homeowners will opt for a designer to work with them throughout the construction process whereas others will simply need styling support before a sale.
