Interior designers. They act like they’re as qualified as architects or engineers, but they base everything on their gut. And when they fuck up a building they use their lack of real qualifications to absolve themselves of responsibility.
It took us three years and nearly $200,000 to unfuck the house we bought after an interior decorator cut out a load-bearing wall and turned an exterior space with strong airflow into an interior space with huge energy-sucking windows.
Interior Decorator or Interior Designer. They’re very different things.
- An Interior Decorator decorates spaces and requires no certifications.
- An Interior Designer does basic designs of Interior spaces (here’s the bedroom and here’s the kitchen) and requires a basic certification.
- An Architect designs buildings (here’s where the HVAC is going to be and this is what the roof is gonna look like) and requires a higher degree of certification.
- An Engineer designs the structures that support the building (here’s the engineered I-beam, and you require a drainage pond there, and you need a support column under that wall, and the foundation needs piers this deep) and requires the highest level of certification.
- A contractor ignores all of these people and fucks shit up
