Interior Decorator or Certified Interior Designer...WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?

c. 1944, Is this paint safe?
What is the difference between an interior decorator and a certified interior designer?

Education, experience and examination.

A certified interior designer is required to have a combination of six years of education and work experience before they are eligible to take the NCIDQ examination.  NCIDQ stands for National Council for Interior Design Qualification.

What does that mean for you?  Your designer will provide you with the beautiful space you desire.  However, it is YOUR health, YOUR welfare and YOUR safety that is always at the forefront of all the decisions made for your project.  YOU are the most important element.

Are you or someone you know looking to beautify their home?  We'll provide the beauty and SAFETY.

Let's change the way we live!

CHRISTMAS AND UNIVERSAL DESIGN

Universal Design is like Christmas.


Christmas is celebrated and embraced by every family member, from the the very young to the very old and every age in between. 


Like Christmas, a home the incorporates Universal Design is enjoyed by all family members.  It makes no difference if they are tall or short, thin or stocky, young or old, able bodied or not.  It is a home that is easily used by all.


Christmas and Universal Design is multi-generational.


Have you noticed that a particular person you care about continues to decline an invitation to your home?  Even to celebrate Christmas?  Is there something about the physical elements of your home that keeps them way?  Such as steps to the front door or the closet sized guest bathroom.  Don't be afraid to ask them.  It could be a simple fix.  We can help.  


You plan for your lifetime; we design for your lifespan
