If you’ve ever wished you could have a professional designer in your pocket—helping you style your home, pick the perfect paint color, or create a cohesive space without the hassle of in-person meetings—then virtual interior design might be exactly what you need.
Virtual design isn’t just a trend; it’s a game-changer. It gives you access to expert advice, beautiful design plans, and pro-level guidance, all from the comfort of your home. Whether you love DIY and just need a little direction or you want a full-fledged design plan to bring your dream space to life, virtual design puts you in control.
Let’s break down how you can make virtual interior design work for you—stress-free, affordable, and completely tailored to your needs.
1. Choose the Right Level of Virtual Design for You
Not all virtual design services are the same. The first step is figuring out how much help you need. Do you just need a little inspiration? Want someone to design the whole space for you? Here are some options:
DIY with a Designer’s Touch
If you love decorating but struggle with pulling everything together, this is for you. I’ll create a mood board, 3D rendering, and a curated shopping list so you can execute the plan on your own, at your own pace. It’s like having a roadmap to your dream home—without the guesswork.
Perfect for you if: You love to shop, style, and decorate but need some professional guidance to make sure everything works together.
Full-Service Virtual Design
Maybe you don’t want to piece things together yourself—you just want a finished design plan that you can trust. With full-service virtual design, I’ll create a detailed design concept, floor plan, 3D renderings, and a custom shopping list. You’ll know exactly what to buy, where to put it, and how to style it.
Perfect for you if: You’re busy and want a done-for-you plan that you can implement on your schedule.
Design on Demand
Ever wish you could just ask a designer one quick question? Like, “Should I go with a round or rectangular dining table?” or “Does this rug work with my couch?” That’s where Design on Demand comes in. You get expert advice without committing to a full design service.
Perfect for you if: You just need a second opinion from a pro before making big (or small) design decisions.
2. Take Advantage of Technology
The beauty of virtual design is that it’s completely streamlined. No scheduling in-person meetings, no waiting for weeks just to get started. Instead, everything happens online—fast, efficient, and tailored to you.
Here’s how I make virtual design seamless:
Mydoma Studio: Your all-in-one client portal where you can see your design plan, access shopping links, and send me questions—all in one place.
3D Renderings: Wondering what your space will look like before you buy anything? I create photorealistic visuals so you can see how everything will come together.
Curated Shopping Lists: No more scrolling through endless options. I hand-pick furniture and decor that fit your style and budget, and you get clickable links to purchase whenever you're ready.
3. Save Time, Money & Stress
Hiring a traditional interior designer can be expensive. Full-service design often comes with high hourly rates, markup on furniture, and lengthy timelines. But virtual design offers the same level of expertise without the high costs.
Here’s why virtual design is a budget-friendly, stress-free choice:
Work within your budget: You decide when and how to purchase furniture and decor. No pressure, no hidden fees.
Skip the long wait times: No back-and-forth scheduling. Everything is done on your time.
Make confident decisions: No more guessing if a sofa will fit or if a paint color will work. You’ll have a plan you can trust.
4. Get Personalized, Professional Help
Unlike generic design apps or big-box store consultations, working with an actual designer means getting a plan made just for you. I take the time to understand your style, space, and goals so that your home reflects your personality and needs.
What does that mean?
A design that fits your lifestyle—not just what’s trendy.
Avoiding costly mistakes by making the right choices the first time.
Expert recommendations for where to shop and how to bring your space to life.
