What an Interior Design Website Needs to Book Clients

Interior design is sold on a portfolio. Here is what an interior design website needs to turn browsers into booked consultations.

Interior design is sold on a portfolio. A potential client wants to see rooms you have finished and picture their own space looking that good. Here is what an interior design website needs to turn browsers into booked consultations.

An editorial, photo-led portfolio

Your work is the product, so the site should feel like a beautifully art-directed magazine, not a busy brochure. Large, high quality photography is the foundation.

Let each project breathe

Resist the urge to cram. Generous whitespace and a calm layout let each room stand on its own and signal the same taste your clients are hiring you for.

Show your style and your process

Clients want to know both what your work looks like and what working with you is like. A short, clear description of your approach, from concept to final styling, reassures them.

Make booking simple

A single, low pressure way to start, like a short consultation request, beats a long intake form. Make it easy for someone who loves your work to take the next step.

Built to be found

A gorgeous site still needs to be found. Clean, fast pages with the on-page SEO done right help you show up when people search for a designer nearby. See local SEO for contractors and how to rank on Google.

The short version

Lead with calm, beautiful work, keep the layout uncluttered, and make booking effortless. If you would rather focus on the design than the website, we build websites for interior designers, free to start, and you see your homepage before you pay anything. For a sense of the style, see Marlowe Interiors, a site we built.

Common questions

What makes a good interior design website?

Large, calm photography, a restrained layout that lets the work breathe, a clear sense of your style and process, and an easy way to book a consultation.

How many projects should I show?

Quality over quantity. A handful of your strongest, well photographed projects does more than a large gallery of average ones.
