Question 1

What is inside a cupola?

Accepted Answer

•

You won’t find anything inside a cupola on a house because it’s hollow (think of an upside-down cup), allowing air to ventilate out of a roof via vents and light to come in via windows. They also usually have a base, vents around the middle (usually louvers), and a pointed cap at the top.

Question 3

Should a pot filler be centered?

Accepted Answer

•

Ideally, a pot filler should not be centered but rather installed to the left or right of the cooking surface to avoid having to reach over the hot area to access it. If this arrangement isn't possible, you can technically center a pot filler above the cooking surface, but you'll need to take care not to burn yourself. Also, the filler itself will become hot from a large boiling pot or stovetop.

Question 4

What is the difference between an interior designer and an interior decorator?

Accepted Answer

•

While it’s common to use the terms “interior designer” and “interior designer” interchangeably, they are two different professions, although some of their work can overlap.

The most significant difference between an interior designer and an interior decorator is how in-depth they work for the project. Interior designers establish a floor plan, hire contractors, and make permanent decisions about the home, like cabinets and bathtubs. Interior decorators, on the other hand, make less permanent decisions about home decor, such as fabrics, wall art, and paints.

Question 5

What qualifications should an interior designer have?

Accepted Answer

•

Most interior designers have at least a four-year degree, if not an advanced degree in interior design. Additionally, many states require interior designers to be licensed. If your state does not require licensing, interior designers can take a licensing exam with the National Council of Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ). Overall, licensing requirements vary from state to state, but most licenses require certain education levels and experience to qualify.
