Why do you need an interior design portfolio website?

A portfolio – as a professional compilation of your work – is needed throughout your interior design career. You need one to get into a college or a course, land your first internship and jobs, and get clients if you want to do freelance work.

There are different types of interior design portfolios, but a portfolio website is the most practical and impressive option. Here’s why:

It’s easy to update

If you’ve ever created a portfolio, you know how fast they become outdated. You have a new project or learn a new skill and you want to include it right away. Luckily, with an Archifolio portfolio website, that will only take you minutes, if not seconds.

Plus, do you know the feeling when you send an email with your application and you find a typo just as you clicked “send”? No worries. You can edit your portfolio anytime you want, so even before your future employer sees it.

It looks and feels professional

With a professional portfolio builder tool, like Archifolio, you can have a short and memorable domain name and URL slug as well. Something like: yourname.com or surnameinteriors.com. However, if you opt for a PDF portfolio and upload it to a portfolio-hosting website, you may have to apply for a job with a link like this one:

It doesn’t look too professional, right?

Pro Tip:

Place your website link in your email signature, LinkedIn and other social media profiles, and your business card as well. It will look extremely professional.

We know that as a designer, you have an eye for creating beautiful layouts. However, there are many more things to consider when designing a webpage. Therefore, an interior design portfolio template can be a huge help in creating your site.

Don’t forget, that you’ll be able to make the template your own. So, choose a template that has a basic structure that fits your content. You can easily change up the colors and fonts later on.

Step 3 – Fill it up with content

If you have everything set up, then your images and texts are next.

Main page. Add your name and a short introduction. You can include a profile picture to make it more personal.
Project pages. Create a portfolio grid, aka a “table of contents” with thumbnails. On your project page add a title, some important information (budget, size, and type of project), and your images.
About and/or Contact page. Introduce yourself in more detail and make it easy to get in touch with you.

And there you have it: your impressive portfolio that is ready to get you hired. This step-by-step guide didn’t seem too bad, right?

Frequently asked questions about portfolios & templates

How long should an interior design portfolio be?

This depends on your seniority. As you advance in your career, you’ll have more and more projects to showcase. As a general rule of thumb, aim for a minimum of 5 projects and don’t include more than 10.

What should you do if you don’t have enough projects yet?

There are numerous ways to create more projects for your portfolio:

Touch up old school projects to make them portfolio-material,
Remodel a part of your own home,
Offer your services to family and friends for free, and
Create plans for random blueprints you can find online.

What to include in an interior design portfolio?

Your aim is to tell the story of your design. Therefore, you should include images that showcase your design process.

These can be:

Basic information about the project (in bullet points),
Early sketches,
Client brief,
Inspiration/Moodboards,
Floor plans, furniture layouts, space planning,
Wall elevations,
Construction documentation,
3D renderings, and
Photos of the end result.

Pro tip: Don’t include everything just because you worked on it. It’s a common mistake to present the project in the “perfect order” like it was meant to be. But no two projects are ever the same. Keep it real and include the steps that taught you something or that you’re most proud of.

As a student or fresh graduate, extracurricular work is also appreciated. Being enthusiastic about photography, furniture design, or any other creative field, is relevant to your interior design student portfolio.

What makes a good interior design portfolio template?

Here’s a handy little checklist to help you find a template that you’ll love:

Customizable,
Easy to use,
Effortless to update,
Has a good amount of whitespace,
Is in line with your design aesthetic, and
Has a good image-text ratio.
