===Difference between an Interior Architect and Designer===
Interior architects focus on building interiors, space planning, and exteriors. This included planning a space to be functional, accessible, and aesthetically pleasing. They notate the appearance of the building, safety, and usability of the users in the building. They will create site plans, building sections, energy calculations, exterior elevations, window & door schedules, and more.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://newschoolarch.edu/blog/what-do-interior-architects-do/#:~:text=The%20Difference%20between%20an%20Interior,and%20decoration%20of%20an%20interior.|title=The Difference between an Interior Architect and Interior Designer|publisher=New School of Architecture & Design.|date=|accessdate=2022-07-12|archive-date=28 May 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220528072501/https://newschoolarch.edu/blog/what-do-interior-architects-do/#:~:text=The%20Difference%20between%20an%20Interior,and%20decoration%20of%20an%20interior.|url-status=dead}}</ref>

An Interior designer focuses more on the furnishings that will be included in the space and the decorations associated with the interior. This is not to be confused with an [[Interior decorator]] who purely focuses on design aesthetics and furnishings. They will select furniture, soft goods, drapery & window coverings, and wall coverings. They focus on the harmony felt in a space which relates to room placement, size, and layout.

Both professions have a middle gray area where both perform the same tasks. This includes the selection of interior finishes, creating drawings of interior elevations/details, and space planning around furniture placement.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.boardandvellum.com/blog/architecture-and-interior-design/.|title=Architecture and Interior Design|publisher=Board&Vellum. |date= |accessdate=2022-07-12}}</ref>
