Standards Different for Decorators

Let’s stop the nonsense. If interior decorators want to play junior-grade “architect,” they should take the California architects’ licensing exam, pass it along with the other requirements and become a full-fledged real genuine “architect” [“They Want to Be Seen as More Than Just Window Dressing,” May 9]. Tiered registration only confuses and misleads the public.
