Help me with a problem!

Recommended Posts

Interior designer

Interior decorator

Interior architect

Tell me: which is preferable?!

I'm doing a translating job for, erm, someone who designs the insides of buildings.Like, the floor plan and the colors and furniture and crap. What's the best English term for this?

Also how do you say when you're going to somehow alter your existing house or interior? I mean, like home improvement, but then as an active phrase?

Is "reconstruction" acceptable?

:shifty:

I've heard both Interior designer and Interior Decorator used. It depends exactly what he does I guess. If he puts in all the furniture and paints the walls and whatnot, I guess either is just as good. I suppose if he uses a lot of Gucci sofas, 'Designer' might make more sense.

I'd go with Interior Decorator.

Renovation, maybe?
Yeah.

Reason number one to hire a real translator...
They're getting it dirt cheap so they can't really complain. :grin:

Shut up. You're only saying that because you're a GAY JEW.

He's got a nice pair of shoes, though. Can I borrow them for the weekend, Trep?

Of course these days it is de rigeur to call oneself an "Interior Design Guru".

I've a question. On 'The Office' DVD extras, Stephen Merchant keeps pronouncing 'Gervais' as 'Gervaze'. I thought the 'S' at the end was silent. Is Stephen doing it merely to be irritating?! Or am I over complicating things???

I've been feeling creamy all day thinking about how I'm going to buy the two seasons of The Office on DVD next week. Ooh, and the Christmas Specials are out now too (here in the N-lands). Giddy! David Brent is fucking hilarious!
