What is the difference between a holiday decorator and a holiday designer?

A Holiday Decorator: a hands-on artist who transforms a space with seasonal flair. They focus on implementing the design—placing decorations, arranging ornaments, hanging lights, and creating visual appeal according to a specific plan or theme. They are knowledgeable of what holiday decor to use where. They move furniture around and small accessories to replace with holiday decor.  When you are certified through Christmas Design Institute you will have the knowledge to be able to decorate your home or a client's space with confidence.  

A Holiday Designer: a professional holiday decorator with an elevated level of skill, involvement and work. Moving from decorating to designing requires a higher level of education to learn how to put together functional designs.  They are more like creative strategists. They craft the concept, theme, and overall vision for holiday décor and design. Their work often includes complete redesigns, new planning layouts, choosing color schemes, sourcing materials, and designing custom elements to ensure everything aligns beautifully. 

A holiday designer brings not only a new aesthetic but can redesign and completely renovate a space with new decor.  The designer imagines the magic, and the decorator brings it to life.  A great holiday designer will transform a space to bring dreams to fruition. Enrolling in the holiday designer course will teach you the skills to become a top notch designer and the confidence to create beautiful designs for your home and/or clients.

The "Decorate Like a Pro Design Academy" consists of 8 modules, 34 lessons and 2 bonus modules. It is designed to be flexible, with some components being self-paced.

If you are planning to start a business, it is recommended that you enroll in the "Decorate Like a Pro" Business Academy. The academy will teach you the skills to become a designer and skill set to launch your new business.
