The Architecture of Happiness
In my honest opinion, I believe there are two types of Interior Designers: those who prefer the technical side (space planning, drafting, detailing, etc.) and those who are more interested in aesthetics (furniture and finish selection, etc.). Some designers are particularly good at space planning and some are far better picking the finishes.
