If you’re here then you have likely heard of edesign, but may be unsure of how it works, what the benefits are and whether or not it is right for you. So, let’s get down to the nitty gritty and find out if edesign is the answer to all of your home decorating questions!
To put it simply, edesign is online interior design. This means that there are no in-person meetings, no house tours and no collaborative shopping trips— everything is done remotely, from the comfort of your own home.
What is the online interior design process like?
The online interior design process is collaborative. This means that you take on an active role and that your participation is necessary to complete the project. An edesigner is often hundreds of miles away and is therefore, unable to come to your home to see the space or take measurements. You, the client, are also responsible for all of the shopping, decorating and project management that comes with bringing the design concept to life. For that reason, a DIY spirit is a must have.
Okay, so you know that you will have to be involved in the process, but what does the actual process look like?
Why choose online interior design?
E-DESIGN IS CONVENIENT
Communicating with the edesigner is easy and flexible. Share your thoughts, questions and comments by email or messenger when it is convenient for you and your schedule.
E-DESIGN IS TRANSPARENT
The affordable and up-front pricing makes it easy to stick to your budget without the fear of hidden fees or overtime costs. You can rest assured that your home design will be on-time with timeline expectations discussed prior to beginning your project.
E-DESIGN IS PERSONALIZED
Your home should be a reflection of your style and personality. Your decorating plan will be custom curated to fit your personal design vision, lifestyle and budget.
E-DESIGN IS COLLABORATIVE
You take an active role in your home design by working collaboratively with the edesigner to ensure that you will love your design. You get the final say in what décor you choose to purchase from your personalized shopping list and you get to soak up all the compliments by decorating yourself.
What do you get for your investment in edesign?
The biggest benefits of online interior design are the confidence you’ll gain from knowing that you have a professional design concept personally created for your home, and all the time you’ll save from pouring over page after page of home décor options wondering which one is the right one for your space.

Is online interior design right for you?
Edesign is right for you if you want a professionally designed home without the traditional interior design price tag. Online interior design is a convenient and affordable way to achieve a thoughtfully decorated home. If you want to save time and and gain confidence with a personalized design plan, but don’t mind doing your own measuring, shopping and decorating, then edesign is for you.
Edesign sounds like a good fit, but how do I find the right edesigner?
Alright, so you’ve decided that online interior design is right for you, but how do you find the right edesigner?
Decorating your home is a personal process and you want to work with someone that you not only have a good rapport with, but who also understands your vision clearly. To find the right designer, I suggest checking out a potential edesigner’s past work and portfolio on their website, or through social media. This should give you a good idea of the styles they frequently work with and the looks they are best at creating. If you like most of their previous designs, then there is a good chance that you will like the one they create for you as well.
Figuring out if an edesigner is someone you will work well with is a bit trickier. However, you can often get a sense of someone’s personality by reading past client reviews, watching social media videos, or reading social media posts and blogs. Are they professional, friendly, funny, quirky? Hopefully, after doing a little homework, you’ll be able to get a sense of their design style and personality to help you decide if they’re the right edesigner for you.
