redecorators
Interior change specialists
Redecorators are people who redecorate—who change the appearance of a room or building by painting, adding new furnishings, or rearranging what's already there.
The term applies equally to professionals hired for the job and to homeowners tackling it themselves: The redecorators arrive Monday to start on the living room.
