interior designer
Space planning professional
An interior designer plans and coordinates the aesthetic and functional elements of indoor spaces—selecting colors, furniture, lighting, and materials to achieve a desired look and feel.
Unlike decorators who focus mainly on surface aesthetics, interior designers often work with architectural elements and must understand building codes: We hired an interior designer to reconfigure the open floor plan.
