This is a common struggle I hear from interior designers ALL THE TIME. They wonder how they can create a process when every project and every client is so unique.

I get it!

The work we do with our interior design clients is highly individualized based on their challenges and needs. What works for a solo interior design business owner might not apply to a designer with a team of fifteen. And a team of fifteen has very different needs and challenges than a team of one does. 

So, how do you streamline your interior design process when every project is different?

I break it all down in this article.

Hate Sales Calls? Here’s How to Make Them Easier (and More Effective)

If sales calls make you nervous, drain your energy, or end up being “pick your brain” sessions with tire kickers, you’re not alone. But what if I told you that sales calls don’t have to be hard—and you don’t need to spend hours prepping for them?

With over 14 years of experience doing sales calls in the luxury service industry, I’ve developed a simple, no-fuss approach that eliminates the stress, screens out bad leads before the call even happens, and turns every conversation into an easy, natural way to connect with potential clients.

In this post, I’m breaking down exactly how to simplify your sales process so you can:

• Cut sales calls down to 15-20 minutes (without missing a thing)

• Pre-screen prospects so you only talk to ideal clients

• Send pricing & process details ahead of time so clients come prepared

• Hand off inquiries to a team member so you’re never stuck in price negotiations

Stop over-preparing, stop dreading the process, and start closing more sales with confidence. Access the full article inside The DTS Files.

Ever feel like you’re answering the same client questions over and over again? Or worse—losing potential clients because they don’t understand your process? If you want to attract dream clients, set clear expectations, and eliminate unnecessary back-and-forth emails, a well-crafted FAQ page is a game-changer.

A strong FAQ page doesn’t just answer questions—it prevents client confusion, screens out bad-fit leads, and positions you as the expert before they even inquire. Done right, it will set you apart from the competition and create a smoother, more seamless experience for both you and your clients.

But which FAQs should you include? And how do you make sure you’re answering them in a way that builds trust and credibility instead of raising more questions? In this post, I’m breaking down the most important FAQs every interior designer and wedding planner should include—plus the small but powerful tweaks that will instantly make your client experience feel more polished and professional.

Your Interior Design Business Feels Overwhelming—Here’s Why (And How to Fix It)

If you’re drowning in emails, fielding constant client questions, and feeling like projects are running you instead of the other way around, you’re not alone. The problem isn’t that you need new software, a bigger team, or more hours in the day—it’s that your client experience process is running on fumes (or doesn’t exist at all).

• “I feel like I’m just answering emails all day.”

• “Clients keep taking control of the projects, and I’m exhausted.”

• “I need a repeatable process instead of reinventing the wheel every time.”

Sound familiar? If so, your lack of a formalized client experience is keeping you stuck. But here’s the good news: this can be fixed.

In this post, I’m sharing:

• The one shift that can instantly help you manage clients with ease

• How a step-by-step process frees you from your inbox and puts you back in control

• Why setting boundaries + clear expectations makes clients love working with you
