Finding the right interior design support for a smaller project can be surprisingly difficult. Whether you’re updating a single room, seeking help with layout ideas or just need some expert guidance to get started, many traditional interior design companies focus on larger renovations or full-home makeovers.

At Design for Me, we believe no project is too small. In fact, smaller projects often benefit the most from expert input, where every square metre matters and clever design can make all the difference.

 

Why small projects deserve great design

Small-scale interior design projects come with their own set of challenges – limited space, budget constraints and the need for creative, flexible thinking. Whether you’re working with a studio flat, redesigning a compact kitchen or simply want help selecting finishes, a tailored approach is essential.

Why traditional design companies might not be the right fit

Larger firms often come with minimum project sizes or fees, which can make them unsuitable for modest renovations or room-specific updates. Their process may also be geared towards bigger teams, longer timelines and full property refurbishments.

 

Where to look instead

If you’re managing a smaller interior design project, it’s important to work with someone who:

  • Understands your scale and budget
  • Is flexible with services – from design-only to full project support
  • Can offer remote or in-person consultations
  • Has experience in similar small-scale work

Design for Me was built to connect homeowners with small interior design studios and independent interior designers who are open to smaller briefs and one-off jobs. Our platform makes it easy to match with professionals who are not only available but enthusiastic about helping you realise your vision – no matter the size.

How to find the right designer for your small project

2. Set a realistic budget

Even for small projects, being transparent about your budget ensures you’re matched with designers who can work within it.

3. Use a matching platform

Instead of searching blindly, use a service like Design for Me to get introduced to designers suited to your project type, budget and location.
