What Does An Interior Designer Do?

People are always wondering what exactly we do as interior designers. I feel as though there is such a misconception of what designers do. A lot of people mix up what we do and what we offer. Nazeli Design to be exact offers a variety of services that you might be unaware of.

Everyone is also always mixing up the difference between decorating and designing. Although they have their similarities there are a variety of things that differ them. When people hear the term “interior designer” they first think of someone who is just going to come into a space and decorate it but as a designer we do other complex work along with decorating. We typically come into a project prior to construction even starting and so many people have no idea about that. We not only work with homeowners and business owners directly but we are always making new connections with real estate developers, agents, and even contractors.

An interior designer does not only come in to tell you what looks right but they also have knowledge of so many other things such as codes and compliance’s. Our job is not only to create a functional and beautiful space but also a safe place where it works for everyone. If you really want the exact definition of an interior designer I have linked a great page reflecting the job description and what is expected. I hope now that you’ve read a bit about what we do as designers you will find a new appreciation for our craft.
