Do interior designers need a licence?

There is no formal New Zealand organisation for interior designers and decorators to register with. However, you should still check the professional’s formal qualifications to ensure they have the skills and expertise you require. Interior designers should have a degree in interior design, architecture or similar.

Do interior designers get discounts on furniture?

This is a possibility. Since they work closely with furniture designers and stores, they establish a mutually beneficial relationship, which gives them some leeway when discussing potential discounts. However, this can vary between the designer and the store in question.

Is interior architecture the same as interior design?

While both professionals are involved in spatial planning, an interior architect focuses on designing the actual building interiors. In contrast, an interior designer plans the furniture and fixtures that will be added to the space.

Is there a difference between interior designers and interior decorators?

Many use these terms to refer to the same professional; however, there is a difference between the two. Interior designers can assist with spatial planning and can be involved from the start of a building project. Alternatively, decorators are used when the building and space already exist, and they come in and make it beautiful.
