Online interior design versus working with a traditional interior designer—what’s really the difference? While there’s definitely some overlap with the two experiences, there are also a few key differences—one of the main ones being collaborating online versus. meeting in-person.

Our fully online platform makes working with your personal designer more convenient and accessible. No more comparing schedules and coordinating in-person consultations. You get design ideas sent straight to your inbox and collaborate with your designer over video call or instant messaging—all on your schedule.

But the differences don’t stop there. Our transparent pricing structure is set up so you know exactly what you’ll pay up-front—and there are never any surprise fees. We can guarantee this because we charge a flat rate per room, not an hourly fee like most traditional interior designers. (Bonus: this also makes online interior design much more affordable.)

Of course, there are some similarities between online and traditional interior design! With Modsy, you’ll still work with an expert designer who will guide you through the whole process. Plus, you’ll get access to shop brands that only sell directly to interior designers (we’re kind of like your backstage pass to the interior design world’s best kept secrets).
