How to set up a Websta profile as an interior designer in Greece

What your profile page should show

Your Websta profile acts as a single page that functions like a website. For interior design work in Greece, include the following sections in order of importance: a short description of what you do and who you work with (whether residential, commercial, or both); a portfolio of your completed projects shown as photos; a list of services you offer (for example, full interior design, colour consultation, space planning, or renovation supervision); and contact methods so potential clients can reach you.

Add photos of at least three to five finished spaces. These should show your actual work clearly and from angles that let people see the quality and style. If you work across multiple areas - Athens, Thessaloniki, other regions - mention the towns or regions you serve. Use the booking or quote request feature so clients can ask about their specific project rather than calling blindly.

Languages to publish in

Publish your profile in Greek as your main language. Add English as a second language if you work with international clients, relocating expats, or tourism-related projects, as these groups often search in English. If you have a third language - German, French, or Scandinavian languages - and it matches your actual client base, add it. Do not add languages you do not use in real client conversations, as this creates confusion.

How people search for interior designers in Greece

On Websta, people find interior designers by browsing the marketplace in their area and filtering by service type. Someone in Patras looking for colour advice or someone in Athens searching for full design services will see matching providers. Clients also use the task board to post their project (describing the space, budget scope, and what they need) and wait for offers from interested designers. This means your profile should be complete and your response to inquiries should be prompt. The marketplace at /marketplace/interior shows providers across the country by location.

Setting up as an independent interior designer in Greece

Before you create your profile, sort out your business registration and tax situation. Interior design in Greece falls under specific professional categories depending on whether you also do construction supervision or only design consultation. Check with your local Chamber of Commerce (Επιμελητήριο) or the tax office (Δημοσια Δioικηση Φοροi) in your region to confirm which business classification applies to your work, what permits or professional certifications you need, and your tax filing obligations. Some interior designers operate as sole traders (ατομικη επιχειρηση), others as limited companies (ΕΠΕ or ΟΕ). This affects your invoicing and how payments to your bank account work.

Payments from clients through Websta go to your own bank account via Stripe. Make sure your account is set up to receive transfers and that you understand your tax reporting requirements for this income. Register your Websta account with the same business details or personal name you use on your invoices, as this simplifies record-keeping.

What to write in your first hour

Start with a clear description of your service in two or three sentences: what you design (residential flats, family homes, offices, hospitality spaces), your design style or approach if you have one, and the towns or regions you work in. Do not be vague about location - saying you cover 'all of Greece' is less useful than listing Attica, Thessaly, and Peloponnese or naming the specific cities.

Then list your main services. These might be: full interior design package, consultation only, space planning, colour and material selection, project management, or renovation coordination. Keep each service brief. Finally, upload two or three of your best photos showing finished spaces from different angles. Blurry, poorly lit, or cluttered photos damage credibility more than having fewer images. You can add more photos later.

Completing your profile over time

Your profile does not need to be perfect on day one. Add your core information, a few strong photos, and your contact method. Then answer messages promptly and add more portfolio images and service details over the following weeks as you have time. Clients see that you respond to inquiries, and they respond to that. Update your profile when you finish new projects so your portfolio stays current.
