It is quite straightforward but there are some major distinctions:

An interior designer is usually involved with a building project from the beginning, perhaps even working with the architect. His/her job is to help create a functional interior space by understanding how the inhabitants will use each room. Things such as light, sound and other design aspects may be considered but is also well versed in building codes and structural considerations.

To become an interior designer requires a detailed and practical understanding of the functional and effective use of a space.

An interior decorator isn’t involved with the design of the building or the layout of the interior space. He/she is focused entirely on the furniture, colours, textiles, textures and accessories of a room. His/her job is to capture the personality and style of the residents and express it in their space.

To become an interior decorator is a creative talent who uses paint and furnishings to transform a space into the most beautiful room possible.
