Interior design v/s interior decoration
People generally use the terms Interior design and interior decorating interchangeably. However, the two terms are quite different. While both deal with different phases of making a room or a space aesthetic, interior design is basically the process of studying the personality of the occupant of the room being designed in order to maximize and tailor-made the room’s design for that person’s behavior and personality. Interior decorating on the other hand is the process of actually mixing and matching the different design techniques like window treatments, the right wallpaper, wall finish and even the furnishing of a room to make it look beautiful.
