An interior designer is qualified by education and experience to design interior spaces which meet the functional, aesthetic, and safety requirements of the occupants. It is a highly specialized profession which is very often confused with interior decorating.
Interior designers practise in both commercial and residential design.
Commercial design projects range from offices and other work settings, to hospitals, schools, airports, hospitality and entertainment facilities, retail spaces, and exhibition design. For residential clients, Interior Designers ensure that the client's lifestyle and ideas are incorporated at the planning stage to create a home which expresses the client's personality and individuality.
