If there’s one thing we’ve learned after helping so many clients transform their homes virtually, it’s that everyone has questions about how it all works. And we get it – the idea that someone can help design your dream space without stepping foot in your home does sound a bit magical!
Virtual decorating (or eDecorating as it’s often called) is becoming increasingly popular, and for good reason.
If you’re curious about taking the (digital) plunge, you probably have a lot of questions. Don’t worry – we’re here to help!
Below are the top 5 questions we’re asked about eDecorating:
1. “How Can You Design My Space Without Seeing It In Person?”
We love this question! While we may not be physically in your living room, technology lets us get to know your space intimately. Through photos, measurements, and the occasional video call, we can understand everything from how natural light moves through your home to those tricky architectural features you’re not sure what to do with.
Plus, our design software lets us create precise layouts that show you exactly how everything will look – no guesswork required!
2. “Is Virtual Decorating Really Worth The Investment?”
Short answer? Absolutely! Long answer? There are so, so, so many benefits to Virtual Decorating.
Using this service, you’ll get:
- Access to furniture and decor pieces you won’t find in regular retail stores
- Access to our little black book of trade-only suppliers (hello, amazing discounts!)
- Professional design expertise without the full-service price tag
- A completely personalised shopping list that matches your style AND budget
- A step-by-step guide that makes implementation foolproof
3. “What If I Don’t Know My Style?”
If you feel this way, you’re not alone! Most of our clients start with “I like this, but I also like that…” and that’s perfectly okay. In fact, it’s normal.
We’ll uncover your unique style together through a detailed questionnaire and our (even more detailed) conversations.
Think of EB as your style detective – we’ll pick up on clues from your current space, the images you’re drawn to, and how you want your home to feel. Sometimes the most beautiful spaces come from clients who initially weren’t sure about their style!
4. “How Long Does The Process Take?”
One of the beauties of eDecorating is its flexibility.
But here’s the general timeline:
- Initial questionnaire: 30-45 minutes (pour yourself a coffee, make it enjoyable!)
- Design development: 2-3 weeks (good things take time)
- Revision period: 14-day window for tweaks and feedback
- Implementation: Entirely at your pace – no pressure!
5. “What If I Don’t Like The Design?”
Would you allow us a quick humble brag moment? Because we’ll let you in on a secret: this rarely happens. Mostly because we do so much groundwork upfront, and we keep you involved throughout the process.
But if something’s not quite right, that’s what our 14-day revision period is for. We’re here to create your dream space, not ours, so open communication is key!
We’ll work together until it’s perfect.
