Architects. As an architect you have many different roles as follows designer, planner, builder and draftsman. In the simplest terms, architects are individuals who draft the plans for buildings and commonly oversee their construction. Architects are tasked with making sure the plumbing, electrical and structure of the building meet all the safety regulations. Occasionally architects may suggest options for flooring, tile, cabinetry and lighting or they may refer you to an interior designer in order to select those design elements.

Interior Designers. As an interior designer your main focus is making the indoor space not only beautiful but functional and comfortable as well. Interior designers nail down design elements such as colors, lighting and materials amid factoring in the space qualifications. Similar to architects, they are required to study, revise and design blueprints. As opposed to architects, interior designers spend at more time and energy to carefully analyze the design elements in great detail.
