Is eDesign Right for You? These 7 Signs Say Yes
May 19, 2025 - Michelle Murphy
You’ve measured the walls and saved the inspo. You’ve even bought a few accessories. Still, your room just isn’t making sense. You know what you like, but pulling it all together is proving to be way harder than you expected.
You think to yourself, “Maybe it’s time for an interior designer.”
Full-service design sounds great, but you don’t have the budget for that right now. And honestly, you’re the type of person that would rather be a bit more involved anyway.
Nodding along? Then you’re likely a great candidate for eDesign.
eDesign isn’t a “second-best” option. It’s a smart, streamlined way to get professional interior design without the high price tag or in-person commitment.
Still need some convincing? Here are a few more signs that you and eDesign are a perfect match.

#1. You’re Working with a Smaller Budget
Design doesn’t have to be all or nothing. If full-service interior design isn’t in the cards right now, eDesign gives you access to professional guidance in a more budget-friendly format. Instead of your dollars going into project management, site visits, coordination, travel, etc, your budget goes straight into a clear, custom plan that’s designed around your space, your style, and your goals. The only difference is you’re the one bringing it all to life.
Virtual interior design services allow you to invest in your home when you want high-impact results without the full-service price tag.

#2. You Don’t Live Nearby
When you live hours away (or even provinces away), finding an interior designer you trust might be tricky. Maybe you live remotely and there aren’t many options nearby. Maybe you want a specific design style you can’t find locally. Or maybe you just don’t want to spend weekends driving to meetings.
With eDesign, distance doesn’t matter because everything happens virtually. As long as you have internet access, you can work with a reputable designer, no matter where you live.
And, since MMID sources from a mix of local and online retailers, we can tailor your design plan to where you live and how you shop.

#3. You Like Being Hands-On & Involved
If you’re someone who enjoys rolling up your sleeves and making things happen, eDesign is built for you. You’ll still get expert advice, curated selections, and a full design roadmap, but you’re the one who gets to execute the plan. You’ll measure your space, place the orders, and set everything up according to the design guide.
This approach is perfect if you like feeling connected to the process. You have the freedom to tackle the project on your schedule, with the reassurance that every choice ties back to the bigger design vision.

#4. You Struggle to Make Selections or Know Where to Shop
Endless paint swatches. Ten tabs open with chairs that almost work. Too many choices, not enough direction.
If decision fatigue is holding you back, eDesign simplifies the process by narrowing things down to give you a curated plan that includes exact pieces, finishes, and where to buy them. You can finally stop wondering if the rug you bookmarked last week actually goes with the sofa you already ordered.
Discover how you can transform your space with eDesign.
#5. You’re On a Timeline & Need to Move Quickly
You just moved in.
Guests are arriving in a few weeks.
You’re completely and utterly over feeling like you live in a “before” photo.
Whatever the case, not every project has the luxury of time.
If you’re ready to get things moving, eDesign can help speed things up by giving you the clarity needed to start ordering, installing, and styling. Instead of dragging out decisions over months, you’ll get a complete design plan delivered straight to your inbox that’s ready to put into action whenever you are.
#6. You Like the Flexibility of Working at Your Own Pace
If you’re juggling a busy schedule or prefer to take your time, you may not be interested in weekly check-ins or a tightly scheduled project timeline. With eDesign, you can work through your design plan when it makes sense for you.
Once you’ve got your plan in hand, you can move as fast (or slow) as you like.

#7. You Just Want Reassurance From a Professional
If your vision is there (sort of) but you’re not completely sold, know that this is a perfect scenario for eDesign.
At MMID, we take what you already love and build around it to create a full plan that ties everything together and eliminates any looming question marks.
