3. WHO IS AN INTERIOR DESIGNER?
Interior designer is the one who by reviewing the current state of the building (it does not matter what kind of building it is) sets the task i.e. the project that encompasses the wishes and directions of the client. The designer uses conceptual solutions to create the conceptual design (implementation of new ideas into the existing, present situation) according to which detailed projects and performance project are done. Also, the interior designer is the one who runs and organizes the contractors and offers supervision services while performing these tasks. Interior design is not just a final step, i.e. decorating, but a task of complete adaptation of the object, provided that all actors involved in the adaptation process have the required legal authorizations and licenses. What will ultimately be perceived as “comfortable space”, “space with good energy,” “nice place” actually is a carefully thought-out design.
The interior designer is the one who is familiar with the legal regulation, aware of the steps and processes, who knows where to save and where to invest more. The one who knows the suppliers, has the contacts and the database of vendors, the one who educates himself about new trends, materials, design solutions and new technical knowledge.
