Interior designers have a fantastic, but challenging task of staying current with both design trends and customized client taste. I’ve worked with a few interior designers and I am amazed at how diverse and informed they need to be to succeed in their work.
Many interior designers are solopreneuers, which means time is already at a premium. Creating a quality content marketing strategy isn’t about getting design ideas as much as it is about time management and what to share on your blog. The more you can carve out a half-hour to share a quality post via your blog or social media, the more you position yourself as an authority on interior design.

Before/After Interior Design pictures
The most powerful feature of interior design is obvious: the visual effect. Sharing before and after photos of interior design projects is a fantastic piece of content. Tip: your photographer is as important as your interior design work, so choose carefully! Posting great pictures of a quality interior design project gives your clients a great link to show off your work with their friends and family (read: future prospects!)
