Pros and cons of an online Interior Designer

THE GUIDE TO DECIDING
With the spread of smart working, working remotely and relating to clients and colleagues behind a screen has now become a habit for many, including Interior Designers.

What the online Interior Designer does and how the service works

Online or in-person, the work of the Interior Designer is the same: what changes is the way of interacting with the client.
First, it is important to get to know each other to grasp needs and goals.
We then proceed by consecutive steps: starting from sharing an idea, defined with a
detailed project, we get to the realization of a desire.

Why choose the service of an online Interior Designer?

To increase the chance of finding the right professional: the client has the opportunity to
choose from an audience of professionals from the most diverse entourages.
To overcome the physical distance limitation: it is not necessary to choose professionals who have their practice in the city where the property being converted is located.

To optimize time: thanks to elasticity in communication, clients, whatever their profession, will be able to engage in a call wherever they are, saving time.

To cut down costs: by performing the work remotely, the Interior Designer's out-of-pocket expenses for the project are lowered. This should not be confused with offering a cheap Interior Design service: the value of a project cannot change based on the mode of interaction with the client.

What are the disadvantages of an online Interior Designer service?

Greater awareness before starting: the client will need to state precisely the object to be transformed, the end goal to be achieved, and the budget available.

Greater client commitment: the client should be willing to provide, on a preliminary basis, the documentation related to the subject of the transformation - such as photos, cadastral plans, and videos - and should spend time taking the necessary measurements, guided by the Interior Designer.

Greater complexity in the choice of supplies: in the choice of materials, colors and
finishes, the color rendering of videos can be different, both between video and video and between video and reality. The Interior Designer has a network of retailers where he or she can view samples and products to confirm design choices. In the online service, the customer can rely on the Interior In the online service, the customer can rely on the Interior Designer's final decision or, guided by his precise directions, check in person at the corresponding franchise furniture stores, located throughout Italy and the world.

Longer timelines in custom implementation: in the case of designing custom furniture accessories, craftsmen are used to send samples and products all over the world. Therefore, this aspect, although more complex for the online service of the Interior Designer, can only affect the lead time and not the quality of the final result.

Which Interior Designer’s service is best for you

The design work of an Interior Designer is carried out in the same way both online and in-person: the choice depends on each person's familiarity with remote communication.
The client accustomed to relating to friends, clients, and colleagues through chats, video calls and webinars will certainly find the online Interior Designer service more familiar, but he or she must also be willing to work with the professional to provide whatever is necessary to perform the work remotely.
The most delicate phase is definitely the implementation. The client who needs more reassurance, who needs to be guided but to see with his or her own eyes and to check the surfaces and fabrics by touch, to physically try out the ergonomics of the seating and mattresses and to physically participate in the final choices together with the Interior Designer, may be more inclined to an in-person service. This may not necessarily mean finding the Interior Designer who has the studio in one's city, but it rather means requesting in-person inspections.
Basically, the most important thing is to choose the Interior Designer best suited to your needs, and together define whether the work should be done online or in-person.
