Rise of the Decorator

Although now people see the term of 'decorator' as almost an insult, back in the 1900s it was just what they were called. They were people that 'decorated' the interiors of buildings, so naturally that is what they referred to themselves as. There were a few heavily influential ones in this time period. Dorothy Draper was one of them, and she was also one of the most influential women in the interior design field. She was all about bending the rules and throwing out controversial things. I think this is very important in the growth of the women in this field. Her confidence was shown in her style and made her design vibrant. (Examples below)
