What to Expect from Working with an Interior Designer Online
Have you seen interior designers, such as myself, advertise online design packages and wondered how that could possibly work? If so, read on and I’ll explain a little about E-design and if you have any queries please get in touch.
Online vs On-Site Interior Design
The first thing to say is that the design process is exactly the same; information gathering, project brief and concept design, design development and completion. However, within these stages some of the methods will be different. For example, instead of the interior designer meeting with you in your home for consultations, you will have video or phone consultations. The rest of the design work will be completed as usual.
Interior Designers often use design management software such as Houzz Pro and Design Pal Pro which provide easy communication between designer and client to ensure the project runs smoothly. Technology is incredible and allows you to work remotely with an interior designer, however it is worth considering the pro’s and con’s to determine if E-Design is right for you and your project.
