Best Online Interior Design Services

Decorilla clients receive expert guidance from two interior designers, yielding two different perspectives. The company offers three different packages and the entire process can be executed online.

Decorilla offers three design plans to fit all budgets and desired deliverables:

• Bronze: $699 (for a living room)
• Silver: $849 (for a living room)
• Platinum: $1,549 (for a living room)

Decorilla is unique from other services in that you're not stuck with a single design from one professional. There's also no pressure to buy every item a designer recommends, but the curated shopping lists make it easy to pick and choose what you like.

The entire design process can be completed using Decorilla’s online platform. A design brief gives you the opportunity to tell the designers all about your personal preferences, goals for the room, and budget restrictions. You input measurements of the space to calculate the exact square footage the designers will be working with, and are asked to upload before photos. The team will also incorporate existing pieces of furniture into the design when advised by you.

Decorilla offers three design packages to pick from and prices vary depending on the size of your project (i.e. a mudroom makeover will cost less than a primary bedroom). For a living room redesign, prices start at $549 and go up to $1,549. It’s worth noting that you’ll get the same deliverables with every package: two design concepts to preview, a realistic 3D model, phone or email support from Decorilla, and a floor plan with furniture placement.

The difference between the packages relates to the skill level of the designers. All of the designers are vetted professionals, but years of experience and access to the designer are significantly higher when you select the Platinum tier.

Havenly offers two super affordable single-room makeover packages, both of which allow you to choose the designer you want to work with and offer phone, text, and online messaging services.

Havenly's design plans vary in price, depending on the depth of the project:

• Havenly Mini: $99
• Havenly Full: $159
• Havenly In-Person: $499

Havenly sets itself apart with a personalized service that’s hyperconscious of your budget. The design company offers two affordable packages that allow you to pick the interior designer you want to work with and include multiple revisions if the initial design doesn't hit the mark.

Customers looking to spice up a room or swap out a few major pieces should opt for the Havenly Mini plan (around $99), which offers product recommendations, like furniture and rugs. Those seeking a thorough revamp of their space should check out the Havenly Full package. This includes a custom layout, 3D images of your newly styled space, and a personal shopping list for $159.

Both plans allow clients to phone, text, and online message their chosen designer. You also receive the first three design ideas in just two business days, making Havenly the quickest service on this list. Along with multiple revisions, the Mini and Full packages provide users with a detailed list of products and even offer assistance in purchasing those items.

Havenly also offers in-home consultation; however, this product—coming in at $499—is not for the budget conscious.

Rather than relying on digital renderings, roomLift sends you an actual box of design assets (including fabric swatches, paint samples, etc.) tailored to the room you’re remodeling. This gives customers the tools to visualize their new space in person and make informed buying decisions.

roomLift offers design packages for overhauling a full room or just sprucing up the accessories:

• Access an Expert: $100
• accessoryLift: $650
• Full roomLift: $1,250
  

With roomLift, you'll get a curated box of recommendations based on your completed style questionnaire and any visual assets you share with the company's design team. You'll be asked to describe how the room is being used, if pets and/or children live in the home, whether you plan to keep any existing furniture, and your budget.

A full room design, with a scaled floor plan, samples, and furnishings, costs $1,250, while an accessories-only package costs $650. You can also set up a virtual consultation with a roomLift designer for $100.

Unlike other services on this list, product purchasing is entirely up to the customer. Furnishings and accessories cannot be bought directly from the website. However, roomLift does provide its clients with a list of where to buy the items recommended in the design and offers exclusive retailer discounts.

Stuccco may not be the least expensive service of the bunch, but its high-quality deliverables, specifically its personalized 3D design renderings, are top-notch. Bonus—all 3D room designs are delivered complete in 14 days.

Pros & Cons

Stucco offers a dedicated room design package or an open-concept package, should you want to overhaul several rooms in an open floor plan:

• Dedicated room design: $999 per dedicated room, plus $100 off additional rooms
• Open-concept room: $1,499

Stuccco is known for its virtual real estate staging services and quick turnaround (within 12 to 24 hours), but the company's lesser-known interior design services also rank high. You can use its design service to stylize a dedicated room, like a living room, or use it to revamp an open-concept space, like a combined living and dining area.

Working with Stuccco is easy. First, book a free 30-minute call and share your needs; then Stuccco matches you with three of its professional designers and you choose one. After that, you work directly with your designer via phone and email. Next, design concepts, a final 3D design, a furniture layout, a shopping list, and design instructions are delivered to you in 14 days.

Stuccco's designers do not work on commission, and you can buy your home furnishings and accessories at your own pace from suggested retailers.

The Expert connects you with celebrity U.S. and international designers for a video call in which they lend advice on your design and construction questions.

The Expert's one-on-one online consultation prices range from $450 to more than $2,000.

Do you love the work of famous designers like Jenna Lyons, Leanne Ford, and "Queer Eye" star Bobby Berk, but know you could never afford them for your own project? Thanks to The Expert, you can book a one-on-one video consultation with some of the biggest names in the industry for a fraction of what their services would normally cost.

This is a great option for homeowners who already have a room plan or design in mind, but need a little help getting it over the finish line. While more expensive than other services due to the level of designers, a design call is a worthy splurge if you’d like expert input without having to pay a sky-high retainer fee or sign a costly contract.

The Expert differs from other companies on this list in that it's advice-based rather than deliverables-based, meaning you won't receive room renderings or fabric swatches. Instead, the concept caters to amateur designers who could use a second opinion from a trusted professional. Typical consultations last 55 minutes, though some designers offer 25-minute chats at discounted prices. Still, these conversations aren't cheap: Prices start at $450, but a phone call with someone like Bobby Berk will set you back $1,500.
