Interior Design Community started on Google+ 9 years ago with a simple goal: to create a space where design professionals could come together, share tips and tricks, and maybe even vent sometimes. Managing websites, social media, and all the demands of being a designer can be overwhelming, but we knew that while one person might not have all the answers, together we could find them. So, we launched weekly webinars featuring industry pros, brands, design coaches, web developers, SEO strategists, makers, and more. We built group Pinterest boards, curated designer-friendly resources, and even had a follow-back program for Pinterest and Twitter. We were thriving… until we weren’t. Algorithm changes hit, and we saw engagement drop.
That’s when we rebooted on Instagram, a testament to our resilience. Huge shoutout to our #IDCDesigners! We keep the conversation going with daily questions, spotlight exciting projects, and share the latest industry news and initiatives that matter most to our members. Plus, we’ve made you laugh with our homemade gifs! Our community grew to 94,000 strong, and we love every one of you. But, once again, algorithm changes made it harder for our members to find us.
We’ve also cultivated a smaller yet mighty Facebook community, where top industry professionals engage in deep, meaningful conversations that impact members’ businesses. We’ve proudly promoted designers’ quotes on blogs and Pinterest, many of which have been featured in major shelter magazines. We’ve banded together to support non-profits and interior designers in need, and now, as a non-profit organization ourselves, we’re more committed than ever to tackling the biggest challenges in the design industry. Together, we rise, and together, we will overcome!
Join us to be a part of something new. Something we can build together.
