Designer vs. Contractor
Interior designer vs. renovation contractor: which do you need?
An interior designer handles concept development, space planning, materials, and lighting, alongside compliance and construction. A contractor mainly focuses on build execution.
A design-and-build studio brings both under one team, which usually means fewer handoffs and a design that's been planned with construction in mind from the start.
