The term decoration refers on the one hand to the process and result of decorating a certain place, such as a house, an office, among others, although also, on the other hand, it is used to designate the set of elements that adorn a given environment and the discipline which deals with studying the best way to combine these elements that we mentioned.
The decoration, meanwhile, offers us a series of possibilities for brighten up, order and organize our home or workspace and interior design, also known as interior decoration, is one of the most habitual that professionals trained in this regard deploy to help those of us who understand little about the subject, so that we get the best form of the environment that we inhabit, then, to achieve this, they will make use of certain elements, such as the app of standards related to design, functional, environmental, psychosocial and sensory techniques, among other tools.
That is, basically, the task that the interior decorator will do is manipulate the spatial volume as give the place a surface treatment in order to find the best use of the space to be have.
Just as the architect is assigned the building of the house, always obviously respecting and starting from the space specifications that we give it and with which we will want to tell in the house, once it is finalized, the interior decorator will come into action to give you a identity to it, also based on our aesthetic tastes or demands and taking into account the aspects that make the functionality of our space.
Once this is clear that we mentioned at the end of the paragraph above, the decorator will be ready to start his work... the first thing he will do is plan the distribution of the interior space and the equipment to be installed, which will be subject to your criteria but will also depend on the tastes and preferences of the client. His job will be to advise on the best furniture style that will go with the place in question, the type of upholstery to use, the painting, paintings, rugs, curtains and decorative objects that will obviously be closely related to the style you choose.
The methodology that decorators traditionally use to convey ideas to their clients, is the design of schemes and drawings.
Those who carry out this task can focus or specialize in different disciplines of interior design such as residential, commercial, institutional design, among others.
