Interior Design & Decor on a Budget
In this blog post, we will discuss the increasing growth in online interior design services and tools that are helping people design their dream homes on any budget. We will also be showing you some great options of low-cost home furniture & decor items that highly resemble their high-cost counterparts.
Online Interior Design Services
Accessible and affordable interior design and decor is growing! Interior design services are becoming widely available and increasingly digital. There are online interior design services such as Modsy and Havenly, that help people create and style their dream homes regardless of the budget category they fall under. Modsy is an online platform that allows people to digitally design and style a room in their home in various ways. They offer design packages that range from $159 per room to $499 per room. All packages include the following: a 3D rendering of the room, online collaboration with an expert designer, design revisions, and a selection of discounted items associated with your style. The best feature of Modsy is that it allows clients to not only see a completely furnished, 3D rendering of a room, but it also allows clients to swap out and modify furniture. You can also download their app and design your dream home straight from your phone! Havenly is also an online interior design service that offers a wide selection of expert interior designers to assist with decorating and furnishing your home. Unlike Modsy, Havenly provides clients with a 2D layered rendering and mood board of their final design concept. Havenly offers two design packages, the Havenly Mini starting at $79.99 and the Havenly Full starting at $129. Havenly also provides clients with a list of best available furniture prices online that match their style. Just as Modsy, you can also download the Havenly app on your smartphone. Overall, these online services streamline the process of creating a design for your home.
