DesignDesk combines procurement, scheduling, invoicing, mood boards, and client management in one beautiful platform — built for the way interior designers actually work.
Tracking markups, trade prices, and client costs across 6 different Excel sheets per project
Manually creating two versions of every invoice — one for the client, one for the supplier
Programa for specs, EstiPC for costs, Monday.com for schedules, Canva for mood boards, Xero for accounts
Every tool is US-first. No FreeAgent integration, no proper VAT handling, no Supplier database
Nine integrated modules that replace your entire tool stack
Track every item from spec sheet to client delivery. Know exactly what's ordered, what's in transit, and what's been received — with automatic markup calculations.
Visual timeline management built for interior design projects — not generic Gantt charts. Coordinate contractors, track dependencies, and keep clients informed.
The only platform that truly separates client-facing finances from trade-side costs. Generate both versions from one data source — no manual duplication.
The first interior design platform with a preloaded database of UK trade suppliers. Search, compare, and order directly — no more hunting through bookmarks and email threads.
Create stunning mood boards and client presentations without leaving the platform. Drag products directly from your spec sheet — prices and suppliers link automatically.
Create basic floor plans and furniture layouts without expensive CAD software. Perfect for initial concepts and client approvals — not meant to replace AutoCAD for construction drawings.
Give your clients a branded, professional window into their project. They see what you want them to see — schedules, mood boards, invoices — without the trade details.

Your intelligent studio assistant that learns your style, predicts project needs, and automates the tedious work — so you can focus on designing.
First-class integration with the tools UK businesses actually use. Not just a QuickBooks afterthought — proper, deep integrations with FreeAgent, Xero, and Sage.
Set up a new project with client details, budget, timeline, and room specifications. AI suggests a project template based on scope.
Build mood boards, create floor plans, and spec every item. The web clipper lets you save products from any website with one click.
Generate purchase orders, track deliveries, and build your construction timeline. Everything is linked — delayed delivery? Schedule auto-adjusts.
One click generates both client and trade invoices. Automatic VAT, payment reminders, and accounting sync. See your real margins in real-time.

"I spend 40% of my week on admin — juggling three tools for costs, schedules, and presentations. If one tool did all of this, it would change my life."
"Every tool is built for American designers. I need VAT handling, FreeAgent sync, and UK suppliers. Is that really too much to ask?"
"My clients ask for project updates and I have to screenshot five different apps. A proper client portal with my branding would be a game-changer."
