AVD | Our Why

I introduced Abode Virtual Design and myself as the founder in a previous blog post which you can read here. Abode Virtual Design, at its core, was founded as a way to make interior design more accessible to a greater number of people. Interior design is and always will be a luxury service, but by offering the service virtually, we are able to streamline the interior design process to just the elements most essential to the client and offer the service at a lower price point than traditional interior design services.

Why do we believe that interior design should be accessible to a wider client base? Because having a functional, put-together room that fits your style and lifestyle can transform so much for yourself and your family. When a room is designed & decorated, it will completely change how you feel in the space - and that’s one of the things we discuss during the initial consultation - how do you want the space to feel? Relaxing? Cozy? Energizing? Design can set the stage for the emotions you feel.

Part of the design process also addresses the functionality of the space. How is it being used? What functionality is lacking in the home? What items need a home? Once we’re at the end of the process, the feeling of having a space that is functional and organized, even aside from the aesthetics, can be so transformative and provide such a sense of calm.

Lastly, when your home is designed - when it makes you feel the way you want to feel, and functions exactly the way you need it to, and you’re absolutely in love with the the way it looks - you’ll feel a sense of pride. You’ll want to put everything back in it’s place, entertain more, and enjoy the space more. Staying home and spending time in each well designed room will become something that brings you joy.

And that feeling, that a home should be a place where people feel joy, is why I feel so passionately about interior design, and why I hope to make it more accessible to more people.
