Once social media popped into the ether, there was no question it would be used, somehow, by interior designers. At first it might have been a simple place where designers would show their finished projects and abilities, but soon it transformed into much, much more. Today, interior designers use social media to sell their own products, convince people to use their affiliate links, capture new clients, sell virtual consultations, build a personal brand, grow their supplier network… And that just scratches the surface.
Also, interior designers are not the only interior design professionals or enthusiasts who are ruling the web. DIY, styling and home decoration influencers have also popped up, giving the average consumer more accessible information on how to transform their own homes. Even architecture students are making content right now, using humour to express their opinions on interior design and the industry at large.
