Interior Designer or Interior Decorator - Who Should You Hire?

What's the real difference between an interior designer and an interior decorator? Today's episode promises to peel back the layers and help you discover the expertise that separates designers from decorators.

I'm Lindsay Olson, your guide on this delightful journey through design. Today, we're joined by the dynamic Molly O, a fellow designer I've known since way back in the '80s. While Molly shares insights from her rich background with major players like Taco Bell and Gap, we're getting to the heart of what we do as designers beyond mere aesthetics. It's about enhancing lifestyles, understanding our clients' deepest needs, and crafting spaces that truly resonate with them.

Key Takeaways from Our Conversation:

▪️ Interior design is more than making spaces pretty

▪️ What designers can do that decorators can’t

▪️ Establish trust through transparency and clear client communication

▪️ Budget, timeline, and respect are critical in client relationships

▪️ Finding inspiration is vital in avoiding creative ruts
