The difference between in-person interior design and E-Design (online interior design) mainly comes down

to how the service is delivered, the cost and how involved the designer is.

​

​

​

• The designer visiting your home physically

• The deisgner takes measurements, assesses lighting, layout, etc.

• A tailored design plan is created

• The designer will often manage purchasing, deliveries, and installation

• The designer may coordinate contractors and oversee the project

​

Pros:

• Highly personalized and hands-on

• Designer handles most of the work

• Ideal for large renovations or complex spaces

​

Cons:

• More expensive

• Takes more time

• Requires scheduling and in-person access

​

​

​

E-Design (online interior design) is a remote, more DIY-friendly option, which is inclusive of:

​

• The client provides photos, measurements, and preferences online

• The designer creates a digital design plan (mood boards, layouts, shopping lists)

• Communication is via email or video calls

 

Pros:

• More affordable than the traditional in-person service

• Flexible and convenient

• Great if you like to implement the design yourself

 

Cons:

• Less hands-on support

• The client is responsible for measuring, ordering, and setup

• Can be tricky for complex spaces
