When it comes to choosing your specific niche, interior decorating and home staging are two of the most common career paths. People often wonder what the differences are between these two. Specifically what each role entails, which skills are needed by home stagers that interior decorators don\u2019t necessarily need, and how the training is different.\n\nRead on for the key differences in these design careers and find out which career path is right for you in the d\u00e9cor industry!\n<h3>Home Staging<\/h3>\nAs a branch of the design industry, <a href=\"\/2017\/01\/staging-101-making-home-staging-certification\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> home staging<\/a> is a process that highlights a home\u2019s best features and helps clients sell quickly (and get the best market price). As a home stager, you use your interior decorating expertise to dress a home for sale. Your help is invaluable to clients who want their properties to appear large, clean and inviting\u2014inside and out.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13709\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/In-Post-Design-Logo-130x130-.jpg\" alt=\"home staging as a career involves working in the bathroom to beautifully present ordinary objects\" width=\"850\" height=\"500\">\n\nHere are a few examples of how home stagers carefully improve their clients\u2019 homes in order to entice buyers:\n<ul>\n \t<li><a href=\"\/2016\/11\/decluttering-clients-home-storage-spaces\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Banishing clutter<\/a> from living rooms and bedrooms by encouraging clients to plan a garage sale and decide which items have outlived their use.<\/li>\n \t<li>Displaying a client\u2019s unique decorative items in new ways, through a process called re-design. For example, home stagers could arrange home accessories in a specific order that enhances the room.<\/li>\n \t<li>Removing personal items from the home, such as family photos, to create a more generic space that any buyer could imagine living in.<\/li>\n \t<li>Evaluating which repairs need to be made to the home\u2019s exterior in order to improve curb appeal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nHome staging is a vital, popular service that is in high demand! Allowing buyers to imagine themselves happily living in a space will increase their chances of purchasing. Home stagers build trust with clients who depend on their services and expertise to sell their home.\n<h3>Interior Decorating<\/h3>\nPerhaps the most well-known branch of the home design industry, interior decorating deals with the look and feel of a room, transforming the space through the use of accessories, window treatments, artwork, and more. <a href=\"\/2015\/07\/job-description-interior-decorator-job\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Interior decorators<\/a> work closely with their clients to select color schemes, place furniture, and accessorize in ways that reflect the client\u2019s unique taste and personality.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13712\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/In-Post-Design-Logo-130x130-2.jpg\" alt=\"The work of a professional interior decorator in a home\" width=\"850\" height=\"500\">\n\nInterior decorators are hired by clients who may be overwhelmed with the idea of completely overhauling their home, or even specific rooms within their home. These clients depend on the expertise of a trained home decorating professional to help them. As an interior decorator, here are some examples of how you\u2019ll transform your clients\u2019 homes:\n<ul>\n \t<li class=\"half-2\"><a href=\"\/2016\/02\/the-interior-decorators-checklist-why-isnt-this-room-working\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Using a checklist<\/a> to assess a space in order to determine what is missing, or what could be improved.<\/li>\n \t<li class=\"half-2\">Reproducing a particular style within your client\u2019s home, such as an Art Deco or a Southwestern design style.<\/li>\n \t<li>Creating a specific mood through the use of lighting fixtures, according to what your client has requested.<\/li>\n \t<li><a href=\"\/2016\/02\/7-tips-for-making-the-most-of-tiny-bathrooms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Helping your client make the most of small spaces<\/a>, such as bathrooms and kitchens. This includes replacing sinks or appliances and adding color.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nClients depend on professional interior decorators to take their regular living and working spaces from ordinary to extraordinary! This role requires a keen eye for detail as well as an understanding of color theory and textures to provide clients with the best advice possible.\n<h3>Training<\/h3>\nWhile there are similarities in training for both home stagers and interior decorators, such as focal points, color theory, and floorplans, there are also many differences. They mainly vary in the focus of each role\u2014for example, home stagers are hired by clients who own homes that they wish to sell. Therefore, the training that home stagers receive in a home staging course is centered on de-cluttering, de-personalizing, redesign, creating curb appeal, and the basics of real estate. This training prepares a home stager to use different processes to help clients successfully sell their homes for the best price possible. Home stager training also provides helpful tools to deal with different client personalities and real estate agents.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13711\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/In-Post-Design-Logo-130x130-1.jpg\" alt=\"royal blue decorated pillows for a bedroom\" width=\"850\" height=\"500\">\n\nInterior decorator courses, alternatively, teach fundamental design elements such as basic and modern design materials and how to use them within the home. Interior decorators also learn how to work with textiles, how to recreate certain styles based on a client\u2019s preferences, and how to design specific rooms and spaces. This area of home design training prepares aspiring decorators to work with different clients and use their trained eye to develop solutions that are safe and functional.\n\nIn a nutshell: interior decorators allow a client\u2019s unique personality to be reflected through their home d\u00e9cor, while home stagers create an inviting interior and exterior that entices buyers to purchase the property.\n<h3>Certification<\/h3>\nIn most places, home design is an unregulated industry. This means that you are not required to become formally licensed in order to work as an interior decorator or home stager. However, you\u2019ll find that clients are hesitant to work with you if you have not completed professional design training.\n\nIf you decide to enroll in a training program to become an <a href=\"\/2017\/03\/6-things-youll-learn-interior-decorating-school\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> interior decorator<\/a> or <a href=\"\/2016\/07\/pros-cons-home-staging-certification\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> certified home stager<\/a>, you can choose whether you\u2019d like to study from home or at a physical campus. There are many options available when it comes to your home design education, and most programs take about a year to complete.\n\nIn terms of salary, there are differences as well. Depending on how much a home stager charges for their services, an average salary of a stager is $47,000, with earning potential of up to $70,000. The average salary of an interior decorator is $38,000, but similar to home staging, this is dependent on how much you charge for your services. Interior decorators have the potential to earn more than $100,000.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13716\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/In-Post-Design-Logo-130x130-3.jpg\" alt=\"An example of both interior decorating design careers and staging homes\" width=\"850\" height=\"500\">\n<h3>Take Your Time<\/h3>\nIf you have a passion for home d\u00e9cor, design, and transforming spaces, a career in the design industry is a great choice! Your next step is to determine which path you want to pursue, based on your own career goals and personal budget.\n\nAt QC Design School, we encourage you to keep your options open and take your time as you decide which home design career is right for you! Becoming certified as an Interior Decorator AND a Home Stager allows you to provide more services to clients, which will only increase your value as a design professional. Plus, it will likely boost your design salary too!\n<h3 align=\"center\"><i>Ready to start your career in the design industry? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/online-courses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Check out the online courses where you can become a certified design professional!<\/a><\/i><\/h3>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Find out the key differences in these careers and discover the right career for you!","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":20603,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[48,4],"tags":[],"ppma_author":[518],"class_list":{"0":"post-2878","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-qc-design-school-courses","8":"category-your-design-career"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.7 (Yoast SEO v26.7) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Home Staging VS Interior Decorating\u2014What&#039;s the Difference? - The Focal Point<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Interior decorating and home staging are two of the most common design career paths.
