What is Virtual Design and How Exactly Does it Work?
Whether you’re a homeowner, a property manager, or a cohost, standing out in a competitive short-term rental market is key to success. And guess what? I've got the perfect secret weapon for you: virtual design.
Virtual design, or e-design, is a game-changer. Imagine a process that's not only more efficient but also friendlier on your wallet. We all know that time is money, so let's save both, shall we?
Unlike traditional interior design, virtual design services streamline the process. Designers dedicate their focus exclusively to crafting the perfect design – selecting furniture, fixtures, paint colors, etc. – without the added logistics of shipping, receiving, and (often) installation. By eliminating these additional tasks from our plates, virtual designers are able to quickly come up with a design direction, offering their clients relief from the all too common decision fatigue. They provide their clients with floorplans, design boards and source lists, giving them the organization and confidence they need to successfully execute a standout Airbnb. Plus, since all of the work is done remotely, clients have access to a larger pool of designers and are no longer limited to their local area only.
Now, let's talk money – because who doesn't love a good deal? Virtual designers are your budget's best friend. With fewer overhead and travel expenses and a streamlined process, we can offer our services without breaking the bank which makes these services accessible for a broader range of clients. Most of us (including me) work on a flat fee basis so you know exactly what to expect upfront. Plus, we often snag sweet discounts on furniture and supplies that you yourself may not have access to. This alone may pay for our services or at least make them even that much more affordable.
How Does it Work?
Every designer has their unique systems and processes, but if you choose to work with me, here’s what you can expect:
Consultation and Space Review: I start by understanding your space and requirements.
Furniture Floorplan: An overhead layout for each room is provided.
Design Board: Visualize your space with a design board showcasing furniture, decor, and proposed paint colors for each room.
One Round of Revisions: Fine-tune the design according to your preferences.
Source List: Clickable links to purchase all proposed items directly.
Complete Stocking List: A detailed list with links for all of those extra items needed.
Detailed Installation Guide: Step-by-step instructions to bring your design to life.
Virtual design is not just a service; it's a partnership. I’m here to lift the design and furniture sourcing weight off your shoulders. It's a collaboration that makes stylish spaces accessible to everyone, not just the elite few. With discounts on the table and a cost-effective approach, hiring a designer becomes a no-brainer, saving you both time and money compared to the DIY struggle.
