The Shift To Online Interior Design

The world of interior design is changing, and furniture and building material companies are adapting to an online world. How cool is that? Now, with just a few clicks, you can order light fixtures, rugs, ottomans, tile, and even sofas straight to your door. Furniture and interior decorating have never been easier or more accessible. However, when it comes to the Canadian online interior design market, it’s honestly a lot more limited compared to the U.S. — and I know this because I work with both Canadian and American clients.

My advantage in the Canadian market is that I’m Canadian myself. I grew up just outside Toronto and later moved to downtown Toronto, so I’m well-acquainted with the local interior design scene. Plus, I’ve also kept a close eye on the shift toward online design resources.

In this guide, I’ll share my top tips for the best Canadian online furniture vendors, standout online interior design services, and the most useful resources to help make your renovation or furnishing project smooth and enjoyable.

So, my fellow Canadians, keep reading!

The Best Resources For Online Interior Design In Canada

Let’s talk about building materials, furniture vendors, and all the interior design goodies you can purchase online and have delivered straight to your door — specifically for Canadians. I’ll share my top 5 online resources for interior design in Canada, covering vendors for tile, decor, wallpaper, storage furniture, and more.

1. TilesInspired

The first resource I want to introduce to Canadian decor lovers is TilesInspired. This tile supplier delivers free tile samples straight to your door and also ships your tile order directly to you. Traditionally, sourcing tiles is extremely time-consuming and tactile, but with TilesInspired, the process doesn’t have to be that way. This resource makes tile sourcing for Canadians much easier and more convenient.

2. Etsy

We all know Etsy by now, but it’s worth highlighting as a fantastic source for interior decor. You can find wallpaper, accent pieces, and even furniture. It’s my go-to place when I need unique items and/or vintage. Etsy is especially great for Canadians because you can filter items based on where they ship from. Etsy Canada truly opens up the interior design scene, allowing me to order rugs from Turkey, lighting from Morocco, and more.

3. Wallpaper Direct

If you’re a Canadian searching for wallpaper online, check out: wallpaper direct. This vendor offers plenty of options, and importantly, prices in Canadian dollars — something that can be hard to find among wallpaper vendors. It makes purchasing and budgeting much easier.

4. Omba Storage Solutions

Online Interior Design Services Canada

So, now let’s talk about online interior design services, which is a topic I absolutely love discussing here on my blog. Large companies such as Decorilla and Havenly don’t necessarily cater to Canadians. Pricing is in USD, and you often have to enter a U.S. address because these platforms don’t accept Canadian postal codes.

I believe these companies avoid Canadian clients because of the issues I mentioned earlier: the availability of furniture, building materials, and decor for Canadians is much more limited compared to the U.S., which can restrict design possibilities. Furthermore, the designers on these platforms are American and have knowledge based primarily on U.S. vendors and resources.

So, what’s the solution for Canadians looking for online interior design services? Well, as an online interior designer (cough, cough) who offers services specifically for Canadians, I would recommend working with a remote designer who is familiar with the Canadian market.

how to choose your remote designer

When it comes to choosing the best interior designers, several factors are important: their talent, project management skills, communication skills, and their connections and knowledge within the industry.

This means it’s very advantageous to choose a designer based on their vendor connections. Knowledge and experience with different suppliers opens up more design options. A designer who has cultivated relationships with online vendors and has researched the best suppliers will offer clear advantages for online design clients.

The Canadian interior design market does have its limits, but this shouldn’t deter Canadians from working with online vendors or hiring an online designer. There are amazing options within the Canadian market — you just need to dig a little deeper to find them.

I hope that gave you a peek into the online interior design world in Canada, below I have put together some FAQ. ☺️👩🏻‍💻

Online Interior Design FAQ

Online interior design—also called virtual interior design or e-design—is a simplified, affordable way to get expert design guidance without the high cost of full-service design. With e-design, you can make confident decisions about your home right from your computer.

Online interior design packages can be as simple as a one-hour video consultation or as comprehensive as full home design plans. Services may include furniture layouts, architectural finish selections, 3D renderings, and more. Essentially, everything full-service design can accomplish can also be achieved through e-design—just with a more streamlined process.

Spaces by Dee offers flexible online interior design services—from tweaking one room to creating a brand-new design plan for your entire home. Whether you want a cozy bedroom, a functional home office, or a stylish living room, our home design services cater to every room. With online home interior design, you can visualize your space with detailed 3D renders before making any purchases.

  • Floor plans, lighting plans, millwork plans and furniture layouts
  • Selection of architectural finishes, including (but not limited to) paint colors, and building materials
  • 3D renderings and moodboards
  • Same-day expert design advice from a professional designer
  • Furniture and material sourcing
  • Custom e-design packages tailored to your goals and budget

As someone who reviews AI interior design tools regularly on my blog, I get this question a lot: Why hire a virtual interior designer when AI tools exist?

AI design tools are amazing for generating quick ideas and visual inspiration. However, they cannot replace the expertise of a human interior designer. AI doesn’t understand your budget, lifestyle, or personal taste the way a designer can. The results are often limited to a “pretty picture” rather than a fully thought-out plan.

Working with an online interior designer ensures that your design is intentional, functional, and personalized to you. AI tools are great for brainstorming—I even encourage clients to use them—but they cannot replace the value of working with a real designer.

While some large e-design platforms offer low-cost services, they often undervalue designers’ work and time. By hiring an independent designer, you’re:

  • Supporting a small business owner directly
  • Ensuring your investment goes into personalized service
  • Working one-on-one with a professional who truly understands your needs

Shop small, hire direct, and get a tailored design experience.

Hiring an online interior designer makes interior design more affordable and accessible. Traditional full-service interior designers often charge $170–$400+ USD per hour, and those hours add up quickly.

With online interior design, you know the cost of your package upfront. You’ll still benefit from professional expertise—without the surprise costs.

My E-design packages start at only $89. Online interior design packages are flexible and designed to fit different budgets.

Need something more customized? You can request a tailored e-design package to suit your exact needs. Contact Spaces by Dee for all your virtual interior design needs.

Choosing an online interior designer ensures your project is:

  • Easy and stress-free
  • Affordable compared to traditional interior design services
  • Guided by an expert, so you avoid costly (and ugly) mistakes

Your home should reflect you—and online design makes it possible without breaking the bank.

Turnaround times vary depending on the package you select:

  • Same-day design advice: Book a “designer by the hour” call and get instant guidance.
  • Comprehensive packages: Average turnaround for deliverables is about 4 business days, depending on project complexity.

Getting started is flexible and simple. If your project is small, you can book a one-hour consultation call. For larger projects, you can select an e-design package that includes multiple deliverables like moodboards, renderings, floor plans and finish selections.

And please, don’t go to Reddit for your interior decorating questions. xo

I don’t stick to just one “signature” style—I focus on refining your design style. Everyone has a unique aesthetic, and my role as your designer is to help uncover it, refine it, and bring it to life in your home.

My portfolio reflects this versatility, showcasing a range of different design directions tailored to each client.

Yes! With online interior design, I work with clients worldwide. Whether you’re located in the U.S., Canada, Australia, the U.K., Ireland, or the UAE—we can connect virtually to bring your project to life.
