redecorator

Interior design implementer

A redecorator is someone who redecorates—changing the furnishings, color scheme, or arrangement of a space.

The term applies to professionals hired to refresh interiors and to anyone undertaking such changes: We hired a redecorator after moving in.

Unlike interior designers, redecorators typically work with existing structures rather than architectural elements.
