    Frequently Asked Questions

    Do I need to do the Certificate IV Interior Decoration first?

    icon

    Nope! It is NOT a pre-requisite to study the Certificate IV Interior Decoration, so you can enrol in the Diploma of Interior Design today.

    What is the difference between an Interior Decorator and Interior Designer?

    icon

    An interior designer often works as part of a team that may include architects, builders, project managers, engineering consultants, shop fitters, cabinet makers, furniture suppliers and materials suppliers. They may also be required to arrange for building structures to be modified, to purchase materials and furnishings, and to contract and supervise tradespeople on the project.

    Interior decorators aren’t involved in designing the layout of the space. They may be called onto projects while they’re still under construction, but in general they come on board after the project is complete. They’re hired by homeowners or developers of multi-family residential units to create a look that will be comfortable and inviting for the home’s occupants. Decorators choose furnishings, fixtures, lighting, paint and fabric to create a cohesive scheme, while still reflecting the personality of the homeowners. To do this, decorators will meet with the homeowners to get an idea of their interests and will try to incorporate items that reflect those interests into the décor.
