How to make a good interior design portfolio.
Five things the best ones have in common, whichever platform you build on. More on our interior design portfolio website builder.
(01) Hire a photographer for finished projects
Styled, professionally lit photographs are the single biggest upgrade to an interior portfolio. Shoot wide views and close details.
(02) Tell the before and after
A brief, a before photo and the finished room make your contribution clear, especially for renovations.
(03) Show plans, mood boards and material palettes
They show how you think and help clients picture working with you.
(04) Organise by project type
Residential, hospitality, retail or workplace. Clients want to see work like theirs.
(05) Say where you work and what you offer
Full service or consultation, the areas you cover, and a contact form for new enquiries.
Free for up to 12 works. Every theme included.
About interior design portfolios
What does an interior design portfolio look like?
Finished rooms photographed professionally, organised by project and by type - residential, hospitality, retail. Each project has a short story (the brief, the constraints, what changed) and often plans, mood boards or material palettes.
How do I make an interior design portfolio?
Start with your best four to eight projects. Get finished spaces photographed well, write two or three sentences about each brief, add before photos or plans where they help, and put it all on a site with a clear contact page.
What should I include in an interior design portfolio?
Wide shots and details of finished rooms, before-and-after images for renovations, plans or sketches, material and colour palettes, a short description of each project, your services and the areas you work in.
How do I make a portfolio without professional photos?
Shoot in daylight with the lights off, keep the camera level and straight, declutter and style each room, and use a tripod or steady surface. Replace the photos with professional ones for your best projects as soon as you can.
Should students include concept projects?
Yes. Label them clearly as concepts or studio projects, and show the thinking - plans, sketches, mood boards and renders. Employers look for spatial thinking and taste, not only finished rooms.
