Benefits of hiring a virtual interior designer
In the world of interior design, there's a common misconception that opting for virtual interior design services might result in a generic and uninspired outcome that fails to capture your unique personality. However, this couldn't be further from the truth! Virtual interior design, also known as e-design or online interior design, offers a plethora of benefits that not only ensure a personalised touch but also enhances the overall design experience. Let's explore why virtual interior design can deliver results that are anything but generic.
In this design, we were asked to incorporate a bar area into the design where previously a small built-in shelving system had been positioned.
We were able to introduce large scale storage, and a fireplace into this living area and created areas for intimate gatherings and multiple seating options.
Tailored consultations: Virtual interior design begins with in-depth consultations where your interior designer takes the time to understand your lifestyle, preferences, and vision for the space. Through video calls, emails, and questionnaires, interior designers gather crucial information that forms the foundation of a customised design plan. In fact, we start the process a couple of weeks prior and ask you to provide as much information as possible on the spaces that we’ll be working in on the day. You’ll supply any floor plans, real estate plans or council plans you have, as well as your Pinterest boards, inspiration images, ideas on what you want in the spaces, provide information on what’s wrong with the space right now and how you want to fix it as well as anything else that’s going to help with the design process.
Visual communication: With advanced technology, virtual interior designers can create stunning mood boards, 3D renderings, and virtual room tours that provide a clear visualisation of the proposed design concepts. This visual communication allows clients to actively participate in the design process and provide feedback every step of the way, ensuring that the final result resonates with their personality. As my skills in this area improve, I’m now able to provide my clients with 3D renders and a video walk-through of their space and the results are brilliant!
Budget friendly options: Virtual interior design often offers cost-effective solutions without compromising on quality or creativity. By leveraging online resources, virtual designers can source furnishings, décor, and materials that align with your budget constraints while still achieving a personalised and stylish look. In addition, when working in a virtual setting, you get the benefit of the years of experience and expertise for a fraction of the cost of engaging an interior designer for the duration of the entire project. In fact, my VIP Interior Design Day is a full day of interior design and what I get done in a single day used to take me weeks to do. So as a client, you’re getting the benefits of my 10+ years of experience and training and distilling it right down in a single day. Crazy right?!
Flexibility and convenience: Virtual interior design provides the flexibility to collaborate with interior designers regardless of geographical location or time zone. This convenience eliminates the need for in-person meetings and allows clients to engage with the design process from the comfort of their own home, saving time and minimising disruptions to their daily routine. When you work with me during myVIP Interior Design Day, it’s a fast paced and fully packed day but we get so much done because we’re on video calls as the design is progress so that means you’re right there as the design is being created. At the end of the day, you’ve been through the journey of the design stage and so you’re pumped and ready to get started on the construction stage.
Personalised touch: Above all, virtual interior design is centered around creating spaces that reflect the unique personalities and lifestyles of the clients. Interior designers pay meticulous attention to detail, incorporating personal mementos, cherished heirlooms, and meaningful elements that infuse the space with character and charm. As you’ve seen from my Virtual Portfolio of work, each design is unique and personalised and that’s because every space has its own set of unique characteristics and challenges and that’s what makes it so special.
The notion that virtual interior design results in generic and impersonal spaces is a misconception that fails to acknowledge the creative potential and personalised approach of modern interior design services. By embracing technology, harnessing global inspiration, and prioritising client collaboration, virtual interior designers can deliver bespoke designs that not only meet but exceed the expectations of their clients, ensuring that every space is a true reflection of their personality and style.
