The best Online Interior Design Services

Technology has changed our habits and has become a fundamental part of our lives. In our work as well as in our free time, we spend most of our time online, where we can now find a lot of services, including interior design.

In fact, there are many platforms on the web that are proposed as a valid support for those looking for interior design professionals to design or renovate their home. 

For people who cannot go out – as most of us in this unpleasant lockdown – or do not have time to visit a designer, a remote interior design consultancy can be a valid alternative to the traditional interior design service. Here is therefore a collection of international websites offering the best interior design services online. 

The design platforms with the best online interior designers

Each platform has its own characteristics and methods, knowing the differences is very important in order to choose the most suitable to meet your needs. These online design portals in fact, provide access to a wide range of creativity skills and consequently price positioning.

Decorilla

Decorilla, for example, is one of the best online interior design services, designed to put selected professional designers in contact with potential clients who are looking for an interior design service at an affordable price. The service is aimed at an international clientele, although home assistance is also provided for those who live in the United States.

Decorilla proposes the design of the interiors room by room. The proposals delivered to customers are created by the best online interior designers who are part of their team. Two concept proposals are delivered to the client so that they can choose the favorite designer.

Taking into account style, budget and size of the intervention, the designers provide a plan with the layout of the furniture.

Havenly

Among the best online interior design services is also Havenly, a platform launched in 2014 which targets a mid-market segment. To receive a customized interior design project from them you have to choose between two flat rate packages.

The classic package is the consultancy for the restyling of an existing space while the complete service concerns the design of an entire room from scratch. In both cases the client is given a moodboard with the list of furniture to be included in their project, chosen among the brands Havenly collaborates with.

Those who choose the complete interior design service also receive a 3D view of the project and the furnished floor plan. The matching between the client and the designer, who will provide their service online, is done through Havenly. To know the profiles of the best online interior designers on this platform you need to answer a style quiz. The client selects finished projects and possible color combinations. This phase is very important in an online consultation. It allows interior designers to learn about the client’s taste but at the same time the client learns something more about the style and expertise of the available interior designers.
