You want a new look for your home. You’re pressed for time, and the idea of scheduling meetings with an interior designer feels like more than you want to take on right now. You’ve visited the stores, looked at hundreds of sofas. You have dozens of paint chips taped to your wall. You’ve moved your furniture around in every possible configuration, and something still is not right about the layout. You’ve talked with the design staff at the local furniture store, but don’t want to be obligated to buy something in that store, just to get their design advice. You love to shop online, you network online, why not get your interior design help online?
Many homeowners are turning to the internet to engage interior design services. Instead of amassing files of clipped photos and magazine pages to share with your interior designer when you meet again in a week or two, internet links and photos can be shared instantly online. Now the design process is truly collaborative! Interior designers are finding that more and more of their client interactions have moved to emailing, and sourcing products online, so the move into virtual interior design services is a natural one for many design professionals.
Which services are right for web-based interior design?
Design concept – An web-based designer can work with you to develop an overall concept for your rooms. Working from your preferences, photographs, and the exchange of ideas, a virtual design board can be customized for you. A detailed shopping list is the companion to the design board so that you can shop at your own convenience, armed with information.
Furniture layout – An experienced designer can present you with a detailed layout for each room. The layout should include measurements for all furniture already in place, furniture you’ll need to purchase, and source links for items needed.. The layout should be easy to understand, and address the functions of the room.
Color schemes – While it would seem difficult to provide color assistance via the internet, without your designer seeing the colors in your space, wonderful color schemes can be easily created for your by your virtual designer. The most successful color consultations take the homeowner’s own preferences into account when selecting a final palette. A virtual design can provide you with a basic palette, with one or two alternatives, so that you can choose one that works best in your space, and feel confident that the scheme is just right.
Accessorizing – A web-based interior designer has access to thousands of items to accessorize your home. As interior designers, we view hundreds of decor options weekly, so that you don’t have to. Virtual designers can provide you with photos and purchase information for the perfect accessories to tie your interior design together.
Real Estate staging – A web-based interior designer can work from your photos to create a game plan to get your house sale-ready. Because 80% of homebuyers first find their home online, the concept of working from photos on the internet makes perfect sense.
Web-based interior design is perfect for anyone ready to make a change in their home. Busy people appreciate the convenience of working with a designer without having to work around a typical office schedule, and tech types love the way they can collaborate online. If you’re ready to try a new approach to a beautiful home, then web-based interior design is right for you.
