Technology and Innovation in Interior Design
Tech should reduce friction, not add it. This hub curates practical ways to work virtually, serve clients faster, and leverage research to make better decisions—without losing your aesthetic point of view.
Quick wins
- Map your virtual workflow. Decide what happens on Zoom vs. in-person, and how you’ll present deliverables (decks, boards, portals).
- Use AI where it helps. Draft replies, summarize meetings, and tag action items—keep creative direction human.
- Save a science link. Bookmark one study you can cite when clients ask “why this works.”

Guardrails
- Privacy first. Don’t put client names, addresses, or floor plans into third-party AI tools; remove identifiers from any uploads.
- Document usage. Write a one-pager on what AI can/can’t do in your studio; get team buy-in.
- Lead with taste. Use tech to speed admin and exploration—final selections should reflect your eye, not an algorithm.
What to do next
- Pick one virtual-workflow upgrade (how you present concepts, how clients approve) and implement it on your next project.
- Set up a lightweight AI policy and share it with clients in your welcome packet.
- Choose one resource above and run a 30-day test; note time saved or response times improved.
