The main difference is that a Commission Interior Design Architect is licensed to handle both architectural and interior design aspects, often working on larger, complex projects. An Interior Designer focuses primarily on interior aesthetics and space planning. Both roles require design skills, but the architect's credentials allow for a broader scope including structural considerations.
