What skills does a Décorateur need to master?

A freelance Interior Decorator is a creative who puts his sense of aesthetics and knowledge of redevelopment and decoration at his customers’ disposal according to their requirements and expectations.

An Interior Decorator can be asked to come up with a new “look” or layout for a living space but cannot undertake structural changes (unlike an architect, who is permitted to work on the structure of a building).

A professional decorator has technical drawing skills and uses computer aided design software to produce bespoke plans (CAD/CAM). He also has a good knowledge of safety standards which need to be complied with in establishments which are open to the public.

Finally, an Interior Decorator's is au fait with all the latest trends and developments in all matters pertaining to style and decoration.

In which project is a Decorator involved?

A freelance Interior Decorator can be involved in the work of decorating and designing, redeveloping or home staging.

A landscape artist, on the other hand, will be involved in the development and enhancement of outdoor spaces.

Finally, an Interior Decorator can perform the role of stage designer and put on a show, a museum experience, an exhibition or any other event.

How to choose a Decorator?

When choosing a good interior decorator, you must take the time to look at his portfolio or his website showing his previous projects.

His human qualities (or soft skills), such as a willingness to listen and openness, are as important as his technical skills.
