The short version

Virtual interior design services, also called e-design, give you a complete room design delivered online that you install yourself. You share your space, we design it, and you get a mood board, a furniture and layout plan, and a shoppable list. The scope can be a single entryway or a full kitchen.

Why choose virtual

The designer plan, without the full-service price

Virtual design gives you the same thinking behind a full project, the palette, the layout, the pieces, in a format you order and install yourself. That is what keeps the cost down and puts the pace in your hands.

It costs less

You get the design and the shopping list, then handle ordering and install yourself. That removes the sourcing and project-management fees a full-service job carries, so a room starts from $1,000.

Work with any designer, wherever you are

The whole design is delivered online, so location is not a limit. You can work with us from anywhere in the United States and still get a full plan tailored to your room.

Install on your timeline

Buy the pieces and put the room together at the pace that suits your budget and schedule. Nothing is time-boxed to an installer’s calendar, so you can build it out one item at a time.

What you get

A complete design package, ready to shop

Everything you need to buy the room and put it together yourself, with nothing left vague.

Mood board and palette

A clear direction for the room built around your taste, with colors, materials, and mood pulled together so you can see how the space will feel before you spend anything.

Furniture and layout plan

A plan that shows where each piece goes and how the room flows, sized to your measurements so the furniture fits the space you actually have.

Shoppable product list

Every item specified with links, so you order the exact pieces in the plan. You buy direct and keep control of the furniture budget.

Revisions included

Room to refine the plan so it matches how you live, not just how it looks in a picture. The design lands as something you will actually use.

One room or the whole space

Scope it to a single entryway or a full kitchen. You choose how much of the home the plan covers and pay against that.

Built for rentals too

For short-term rental hosts, a virtual and DIY version covers layouts built for guest capacity and a guest-proof shoppable list.

Pricing

What virtual interior design costs

Priced by the room and scope. The design fee is separate from the furniture, which is a budget you own and spend at your own pace.

Questions

Virtual interior design, answered

How does virtual interior design work?

You share photos, measurements, and a sense of your style, and we design the room online. You get a mood board and palette, a furniture and layout plan, and a shoppable product list. Then you order the pieces and install the room at your own pace. Nobody has to visit your home for it to work.

What do I get with virtual interior design?

A complete design package: a mood board and color palette, a furniture and layout plan that shows where each piece goes, and a shoppable list with links so you can buy everything yourself. Revisions are included so the plan matches how you actually live. The scope can be a single entryway or a full kitchen.

How much does virtual interior design cost?

Residential virtual design runs from $1,000 to $3,500 depending on the room and scope. For short-term rentals, design starts at $4,000 for a whole home. The design fee does not include the furniture itself, which is a separate budget you own and control.

Can you design my room if I am not local?

Yes. Virtual interior design is built to work anywhere. Because the whole design is delivered online, you can work with us from any location in the United States and still get a full mood board, layout plan, and shoppable list.

What is the difference between virtual and full-service interior design?

Virtual design gives you the plan and the shopping list, and you handle the ordering and install on your own timeline, which keeps the cost lower. Full-service design has us source, order, and install everything for you. If you want to understand the format in depth, our guide on what virtual interior design is walks through it.

Does virtual interior design include the furniture?

No. The fee covers the design, the mood board, the layout plan, the shoppable list, and revisions. The furniture is a separate budget that stays yours. You buy the pieces from the list at the pace that suits you, so you keep full control of what you spend.
