Interior design has always been about creating spaces that feel like you—comfortable, functional, and beautiful. But with the growing popularity of virtual design, clients now have the option to enjoy the same professional expertise without the constraints of in-person meetings. Whether you’re updating one room or transforming an entire home, virtual design makes the process flexible, personalized, and surprisingly fun.

Flexibility That Fits Your Lifestyle

Life can get hectic, and squeezing in appointments isn’t always easy. Virtual design means you can connect with your designer from the comfort of your own home—or anywhere, really. Instead of rearranging your schedule, you get the freedom to review concepts, mood boards, and layouts at a time that works best for you. This modern approach is perfect for busy homeowners, property investors, and even renters who want professional input without the stress of in-person visits.→ I recently helped a client who just moved from Florida to North Carolina, and they needed help with a few rooms in their new home. The interior of the home was a bit dated, so they needed help with furniture, paint, and lighting selections. We met virtually for meetings, and we completed four areas in their home entirely online!”

A Budget-Friendly Option Without Sacrificing Quality

Another major perk of virtual design is cost savings. With fewer in-person meetings and travel time, the process is often more affordable, allowing clients to put more of their budget into furnishings and decor. Many designers (including us) also provide access to trade-only discounts that aren’t available to the public, stretching your budget even further.→ One of my clients in Myrtle Beach was able to save nearly 20-30% on their furnishings by going through my trade accounts.

Personalized, Professional Design Support

Choosing virtual doesn’t mean losing the personal touch—in fact, it often feels more collaborative. You’ll receive customized mood boards, floor plans, and shopping lists designed specifically for your space, style, and budget. With everything organized digitally, you’ll always have a clear roadmap for your project and the confidence to move forward without second-guessing.→ I love creating designs for my clients virtually, because it gives them a tangible vision of their finished space.

Access to Tools That Bring Your Vision to Life

Through virtual design, you’ll still receive the same professional expertise as in-person clients. From detailed 3D renderings to curated product sourcing, you’ll see your space take shape before any purchases are made. This reduces guesswork and helps you avoid costly mistakes, giving you peace of mind that every decision aligns with your goals.

Perfect for Every Space—Big or Small

Virtual design is versatile. Whether it’s styling a single room, refreshing a rental property, or planning a full home redesign, this option adapts to your project size and goals. It’s also a fantastic solution for Airbnb or investment properties, where efficiency and style matter most.→ One of my favorite projects was designing an older Tudor property virtually, where I helped the client maximize the homes unique characteristics and add style and appeal throughout the space.
