The process to turn an empty interior into a functionally effective and aesthetically pleasing environment requires a few tasks. The continued misunderstanding of these respective disciplines enables the general public to assume that anyone who creates and furnishes a space with finishes and artworks without a clear understanding of the structural drawings and schematics of that particular space is an interior designer. It is important to ensure that the roles and tasks of an interior designer are not equated to interior decorators and/or interior architects.
