The Challenges Faced By The Online Interior Design Consultancy Market

When our client started designing and furnishing her house, she stumbled upon some problems.

The client was designing her own house and wanted to get some professional advice. She was looking for an online platform where she could talk to a professional interior designer and get advice on what kind of centerpieces would suit the room or where to place a particular furniture piece. There are no such consulting platforms. She would have to hire a designer to get their help.

There are many platforms for hiring interior designers, but they are expensive. The designer would present a full design and furnishing plan for anywhere between $200 – $1200. It was costly and not what our client wanted. She wanted to furnish her house on her own with a minimum budget, without hiring a designer.

Another challenge our client faced was that she was unable to filter the many interior designers on these websites based on their design style. She had a specific aesthetic in mind for each room in her house and did not know which designer would understand and share her home decor styles.
