5 Benefits of Using Virtual Interior Design Services

Let’s start off by answering:

What is Virtual Interior Design?

Virtual Design, also known as E-Design, is interior design completed entirely virtually. It is a great option for clients who want help with furniture planning, sourcing and design, but who don't mind doing a little leg work to execute their design.

The design begins with a questionnaire to find out the client's style, color preferences, lifestyle and unique needs. The client provides photos and/or descriptions of what design styles they are drawn to. Clients also provide measurements of their room. After analyzing the questionnaire and décor preferences the designer puts together a concept board based on the input

At Lei Low Interiors we like to begin presenting two concept boards. After receiving your feedback and preferences from the two boards, we then create your final design. With your final design board you may choose two décor items to swap out if you choose. At this point you will have a complete design that you love and are on your way to implement the design. Clients may then start their design implementation at their pace using the concept board for inspiration.

Some companies offer a full virtual design option where they create a floor plan and rendering of your space. This is great for visualizing exactly where you furniture and décor will go. The detailed instructions provided leave little guess work on where and how your items should be placed. Some may include shopping lists to purchase your items. We recommend purchasing those items as soon as possible to avoid missing out on chosen items due to stocking availability.

Now that you know what Virtual Interior Design involves let’s get into the benefits.

1. Have more confidence in your purchasing decisions

Have you ever spent sleepless nights or multiple trips to a design showroom agonizing over the purchase of a furniture piece? It can be stressful deciding on investment furniture that you will have in your home for years to come. Using a virtual design service helps relieve that agony by giving you a complete room design to execute. When your design is complete you know exactly how your room is designed to look. You can now make a confident decision in your purchase, knowing your living space will come together in a cohesive way.

2. Shop at the places that you like

When you use a virtual design service you can shop at the places you love. You are not locked in to purchasing your items somewhere you aren’t familiar with. If you love shopping local boutiques and stores, finding deals on Marketplace, second hand or DIYing virtual design can absolutely help. When you have a design concept you can find items on your own, where you like. And if you don’t know where to purchase, we help with that too! Shopping lists for your design are offered to help make your purchasing easier.

3.Find items that fit your budget

The design concept is just that a concept or guide to help you create your beautiful space. We all have differing budgets. One may not blink at making a $10,000 sofa budget while another allots $1500 for their sofa budget. Many times you can find a similar look at many different price points. The beauty of having a vision of what your design will be is that you can then search for those items within your personal budget.

4.Bring your vision to life on your own timeline

Whether you are a weekend warrior shopper or love to spend time researching and pondering over purchases, virtual design can work for you. You can slowly bring the design items into your home or knock out the design by purchasing from the shopping list. The timeline is completely up to you. Your final design concept is yours for the keeping to execute when you see fit.

5. Feel inspired in your well appointed home

Nothing feels better than walking into a space where every detail has been expertly considered. Our curated virtual services help you execute a design that feels comfortable and rejuvenating. With your virtual interior design you are ready to create a space that fuels your energy to create your best life. Who doesn’t want that?!!
