Interior designer profile on Websta: what to include

What your profile page should contain

Your Websta profile is a page that showcases your work and makes it easy for customers to get in touch. Start with a clear description of what you do - whether that is residential interior design, office spaces, kitchen and bathroom renovation, or colour consultation. Say what kinds of projects you take on and what your approach is.

Add a portfolio section with photos of projects you have completed. Interior design is visual work, so photos of rooms you have designed, before-and-after shots, and details of materials and finishes matter more than text. Include 5 to 10 images that show the range of your work and the style you work in.

List the specific services you offer. This might include design consultation, space planning, colour and material selection, project management, or sourcing furniture and fittings. Be clear about what each service covers so that customers know what to expect.

Include a way for customers to contact you. Websta offers both a contact form and online booking, depending on how you want to work. Many interior designers use a quote request or consultation booking so that you can discuss the project before committing to a price.

Photos that work for interior design

Photos of finished rooms are the core of your portfolio. Customers want to see the quality of your work and the types of spaces and styles you are good at. Include a mix of living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, and any other spaces relevant to your work.

Before-and-after shots are powerful because they show the transformation you can achieve. If you have permission from clients, these are worth featuring.

Detail shots of materials, finishes, and furnishings tell customers that you pay attention to the details. A close-up of a paint colour, a tile selection, or a piece of furniture gives a sense of your taste and standard.

Services and booking on your profile

Describe the services you offer clearly. Interior design services can be structured in different ways - by room, by project type, by hourly rate, or by flat fee. Use your Websta profile to explain your model so that customers know what they are getting.

For booking, most interior designers use a consultation or quote request system rather than instant booking. This lets you discuss the scope of work, budget, and timeline with the customer first. Set up your Websta profile to allow customers to book a consultation or submit a task with details of their project.

Languages for your profile

Publish your profile in Danish. This is the main language customers in Denmark will use when searching for local services. English can help if you want to reach international clients, but Danish is essential.

If you work with international clients or materials suppliers, you can add an English version of key sections, but Danish should be your primary language.

How people in Denmark search for interior designers

On Websta, people search by service and location. A customer might search for 'interior designer' or 'interior design' in their town or region and browse the profiles that come up. The marketplace lets them also post a task describing their project, and interior designers nearby can make offers.

Outside Websta, people in Denmark often search on Google, Instagram, and local business directories. Having a strong Websta profile helps you show up when people search locally.

Personal recommendations and referrals are common in the interior design trade. Once your profile is live, ask satisfied clients to refer friends and family.

What to sort out as an independent interior designer

Check the rules for working as a self-employed interior designer in Denmark with your local municipality or the Danish Business Authority (Erhvervsstyrelsen). Most interior designers operate as sole traders or small businesses, but the exact rules depend on your situation.

If you are working on construction sites or in a client's home, you may need liability insurance. Check with your insurance provider what is appropriate for your work.

Keep records of your projects and client agreements. Websta handles payments through Stripe to your bank account, but you are responsible for your own accounting and tax reporting. Set aside time each month to record income and expenses.

If you work with other trades - electricians, carpenters, builders - keep their details on hand so you can refer clients or co-ordinate work.

What to write in your first hour

Start with your name and a short description of what you do. One sentence is enough: for example, 'I design residential interiors with a focus on light, function, and natural materials.' This goes at the top of your profile.

Add 3 to 5 bullet points listing your main services. Keep them short and clear.

Write a short section about your approach or background. This might be one or two paragraphs explaining your design philosophy, the types of projects you enjoy, or your experience.

Upload 3 to 5 of your best photos. You can add more later, but start with images that show your strongest work.

Set up your booking or quote request method and add your contact details. Test the form yourself to make sure it works.

Publish in Danish and review the profile on mobile to make sure it looks good.
