- [The Difference between Decorators and Designers](https://ianthompsoninteriors.com/the-difference-between-decorators-and-designers/): The difference between decorators and designers can be easily misunderstood, often thought to be much the same from outside of the industry, however they are completely different.  Interior Designers work closely with both the structural living space and the design side of things. They usually work alongside architects to help create the desired outcome of a space.  Interior Decorators on the other hand focus on aesthetics only, working with the space they have, recreating it by painting walls, doing wallpapers and selecting furniture and other decorative pieces to put the space together.  Below are the key differences between interior decorators […]

- [The Beginning of Interior Design](https://ianthompsoninteriors.com/the-beginning-of-interior-design/): With interior design being recognised and established as a term around 100 years ago, people always had a sense of style when it came to their interior design. Going back as far as the Egyptian era, with coloured paintings, beautiful vases and sculptures decorating huts, it’s fair to say that humans have shown a creative flair for interior design for centuries.  With the first commissioned interior design work done not until 1913, Elsie de Wolfe was the very first recognised interior designer.
