With stay-at-home ordinances in full-effect, Interior Designers had to adapt and transition to working with clients remotely. How can an Interior Designer decorate your home without physically seeing your home in person? Virtual Interior Design allows you to work one-on-one with an interior designer remotely to professionally decorate your home. Whether you are located near or far, AMA Designs can work decorate your home, virtually anywhere. In this post, you will learn more about virtual interior design and how it works.
While Virtual Interior Design (aka E-design or Online Design) may not be a new concept, the e-design services have been gaining popularity, now more than ever. Before the idea of remote design became popular, I have been virtually designing interiors since 2015. It all started when a friend of mine moved across country and trusted me to design her new home remotely. Since then, I have added a variety of virtual interior design services to my list from consulting, accessorizing, to full-room design.
What is Virtual Interior Design?
Virtual Interior Design is the modern way of working with a professional interior designer. All communication, moodboards, floorplans, renderings, shopping links, and other project documents are digitally delivered to your inbox.
Our virtual interior design services uses a user-friendly platform in which you log-in to your project portal to access all your documents. This streamlines the process since emails can get lost or missed. All your information is safely stored in one place.

How does virtual interior design work?
Before we start, photos and measurements of your space will have to be submitted. If you aren’t sure how to measure, don’t worry, we guide you through the process. We will also ask you to complete the Design Questionnaire so we can learn more about you.
Once we have received your information, we will review the details with you during our Virtual Design Consultation via video conference or phone. We prefer to use Zoom Video conference so we can see you face-to-face.
We create a Design Concept and furniture layout for you to approve before we start shopping. If you love what you see, we will shop for items that are tailored to your style, needs, and dimensions. Based on that criteria, we then propose the full room with all of our selections. Hopefully, you love everything we propose but if not, one round of reselections is included.
After the merchandise has been approved, we provide a shopping guide with direct links to purchase along with notes to complete the room on your own. Once most of the merchandise has arrived, we schedule a final support call to answer questions you may have.

What is the difference between Virtual interior design and Full-Service?
Virtual Interior Design provides you with the design, floorplans, shopping links, and design notes to execute the design on your own. If you have time and are willing to do the work on your own, this is a great service for you. This service is DIY-friendly and requires you (or someone else) to assemble furniture, move things in place, and hang artwork and your own window treatments.
Full-Service Interior Design is our signature in-person service where develop the design and our team executes the entire design. We manage your project from concept all the way through to completion. We place the orders, tracking the status, receive merchandise, coordinate vendors, oversee deliveries, and style the room to the very last accessory. This is a turn-key service so you turn the key to your home and enjoy.
