Have you ever wondered how virtual interior design actually works? You are not alone. Many homeowners love the idea of getting professional design help without the weight of the traditional high-end fees. They marvel at the idea of no more travel fees, no massive time commitments, and no more high hourly rates, problems most find with the traditional interior design process. But is it all too good to be true? Can you still truly get a beautiful design at the ease of your computer? Will your home still have the same polished look a traditional design process would provide? Will this process actually be personal or is some robot putting my designs together?

All these are great questions, and the good news is this: Virtual interior design can be incredibly personal, supportive, and effective when it is done thoughtfully and methodically. Not all edesign companies can answer yes to all the questions above. However, our process here at Bungalow House Studio brings an emphatic “yes”! Our mission is simple: we help families gain clarity and confidence in their homes so they feel complete.

We say “yes” so you can still get a beautiful design within the ease of your computer, with the same polished look, with an incredibly personal and thoughtful design NOT done by a robot. In fact, we invite you to meet our designer, Emma Maxwell.

With more than a decade of experience and a background that blends architectural training, retail curation, consulting, and virtual design, Emma Maxwell has created a warm and approachable design process that gives you expert guidance while still allowing you to stay in control of your budget and purchases.

Credibility You Can Trust

Emma Maxwell graduated from Purdue University’s rigorous CIDA accredited Interior Design program, where she built the strong technical foundation that supports every project she takes on today. After earning her degree, she worked as an Architectural Designer and created a wide range of projects including luxury new build homes, high end kitchen renovations, and practical small space remodels.

Later, Emma became a design consultant at a local firm where she trained and supported other designers. While she enjoyed the technical side of design and the leadership role of consulting, Emma’s greatest joy always came from helping individual homeowners create a space that felt like their own.

So how do you get started? It’s just 3 simple steps! Follow the steps below to get your project started with Emma at Bungalow House Studio today. Clarity and confidence in your home are within your fingertips!

Step 2: Your Vision Your Needs

Step 2: Your Vision Your Needs

From there, we connect through email or a quick call to discuss your project details. This step is warm, simple, and meant to help you feel supported from the very beginning. Many clients say they already feel more clarity just by talking through their space with Emma. They felt she understood both the emotional and practical sides of design and particularly felt a new vision and excitement for their space before even starting the process!

“It’s been fun and exciting for me even from just this initial meeting. I appreciate Emma’s questions to try and understand my wants, likes, etc. I’m looking forward to moving through the process.”- Tammy | Living Room Client

Step 3: Gather Measurements

Step 3: Gather Measurements

The measuring process is honest, simple, and stress free. We provide clear instructions and a template to follow, and if you prefer, Emma can guide you through the steps on a video call. You do not need to be tech savvy. You just need to follow a few easy steps, and we take care of the rest.

These measurements allow us to create a scaled floor plan, elevations, and, when needed, 3D visualizations so you can clearly see the potential of your space.

Step 4: Receive Design

Step 4: Receive Your Custom, One of a Kind Design

Once we have all your information, the real transformation begins.

Every client receives:

• Personalized mood boards
• A full shopping list with links
• Guidance on layout and placement
• Clear instructions on installation
• Access to Emma for final detail questions as items arrive

For larger projects, we also offer:

• Floor plans
• Elevation drawings
• 3D renderings

This is where you get to see your home through a fresh, professionally trained eye.

Need Ongoing Support??

After your design is delivered, you can install your space at your own pace. But you are not alone. Emma is available for questions such as:

• Does this piece look right in the room?
• Is this alternative a good substitute?
• How high should I hang this artwork?
• Does this thrifted or marketplace item still fit the design?

Many clients love the option to receive feedback on thrifted items because it allows them to save money while still staying true to their design vision.
