This document summarizes and debunks three common myths about interior design: 1. Decorators and interior designers are not the same - interior designers are trained professionals who must be licensed and follow building codes. 2. An interior designer will incorporate a client's own style, not impose their own. They focus on the client's space, belongings, and aesthetic preferences. 3. Hiring an interior designer can save money and time compared to doing it yourself, through creating an efficient plan and simplifying the process. Designers also help define and enhance a client's personal style for their home or office.
