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

• <div><p>While it&rsquo;s common to use the terms &ldquo;interior designer&rdquo; and &ldquo;interior designer&rdquo; interchangeably, they are two different professions, although some of their work can overlap. </p><p>The most significant <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/whats-difference-between-interior-designer-decorator.htm">difference between an interior designer and an interior decorator</a> 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.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to decorate a Christmas tree?

• <div><p>Decorating a tree yourself will only take between one and two hours, but a professional designer may take more time to create their vision. When hiring a pro, assume the work will take a minimum of three to four hours.</p></div>

Q: Does crown molding make a room look smaller?

• <div><p>You may think that adding crown molding will shrink a room, but in fact, it has the opposite effect. The reason crown molding makes a room bigger is that it draws the eyes upward to the ceiling, which gives the impression of a taller wall. Just be careful that you don't crowd the room&mdash; if you have a lot of artwork or intricate wallpaper, crown molding may not be a good idea.</p></div>

Q: How do I make my tree look professionally decorated without paying?

• <div><p>Professionals often use extra materials that aren&rsquo;t included in traditional tree decorations, like pins and more expensive wired ribbon that can be carefully shaped. But even without these elements, you can improve your decorating by taking a few professional cues.</p><p>Always start by picking an overall theme, including colors, types of ornaments, and the overall feeling or message you want to create. Fluff your tree to its fullest potential, and include a generous amount of garlands, lights, ornaments, and bows to complete the look. Professional trees tend to be very &ldquo;full&rdquo; and well-balanced, with only a couple of ornament types to help the decorations flow.</p><p> </p></div>

Q: Is an interior designer different from an interior decorator?

• <div><p>Often those unaware of the differences use the terms <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/whats-difference-between-interior-designer-decorator.htm">interior designer and interior decorator</a> interchangeably. There&rsquo;s a reason why interior designer fees are typically more than those of decorators. </p><p>Decorators focus solely on dressing the room with color, furnishings, and finishes. Designers have a broader remit, covering structural planning, layout, function, and general aesthetics. Because of the additional skills needed as a designer, they&rsquo;ll have studied in the field and should have certification and possibly licensing.</p></div>
