When the App-Based Services Don’t Cut It
Modsy is gone. Havenly wants you signed into a $99 package. Decorist routes you through a customer service queue. The “virtual interior designer” you ended up with isn’t actually a designer — it’s a recommendation engine that pushes the same five furniture brands at everybody. You wanted a person, not a workflow.
You filled out a 47-question style quiz and got back a board you could have built yourself in an hour on Pinterest.
You want to ask one specific question — “does this dresser work in here?” — and there’s no way to do that without subscribing to a package.
You hate the idea of being pushed to buy through anyone’s preferred vendor.
You like talking through decisions out loud, not waiting three days for an email.
How It Works
A Real Designer, on Video, Right Now
01
Talk to a designer, not a chatbot
Every call is one-on-one with Emily, a licensed interior designer with 10+ years of experience across NYC, Miami, and Scottsdale. No auto-generated boards.
02
Pay by the call, not the project
Choose 15 minutes for a single decision, 30 minutes for a few related questions, or 60 minutes for a full room or multi-room conversation. No retainers.
03
Buy wherever you want
No affiliate kickbacks, no preferred-vendor lists. If specific products come up, you’ll get links — and you’re free to source from anywhere.
“I appreciated how she listened to what I actually wanted instead of pushing her own ideas. The follow-up resources she sent were so helpful. Already booked my next session!”

You won’t get formal floor plans or 3D renders. If specific products, paint colors, or links come up during the call, those get sent over afterward.
Yes. Every consultation is with Emily directly. There’s no rotating roster.
Yes — book the 60-minute option if you want to cover two or more rooms or work through a bigger plan in one sitting.
