Good interior design business names sound calm and considered, like the rooms you'll design: your own name (Studio Ellery), a material (Velvet & Travertine Design) or a soft Instagram-ready word (The Moss Edit). This interior design business name generator has catchy, cute and aesthetic names, classic studio names, short modern ones and luxury names, plus names from your town or your first name.
Eight good interior design business names
All eight came from the generator:
- Studio Ellery: a surname studio, the way many designers trade.
- Atelier Raeburn: atelier, French for workshop, for a high-end practice.
- Velvet & Travertine Design: two materials that tell clients your look before they see a photo.
- The Moss Edit: an "edit" name, short enough to be your Instagram handle.
- Plum & Pebble Interior Styling: a softer, cosier pairing for homes rather than offices.
- Dado: one word, from the dado rail, for a short modern brand.
- Woodville & Granger Interior Design: two surnames that sound like an established firm.
- Interior Styling by Sarah: your name, for a one-person service clients hire for you.
What makes an interior design name work
Clients hire a designer for their taste, so the name should show it:
- Your own name is the most common choice, because the designer is the product. Studio, Atelier or Interiors after a surname reads as professional.
- Materials and textures (linen, oak, travertine, rattan, velvet) say what your rooms feel like.
- Design words such as dado, plinth, sisal and terrazzo appeal to people who already know the trade.
- Styling versus design: "interior styling" suggests furnishing and dressing a room; "interior design" or "interior architecture" suggests layout and building work. Choose the word that matches what you'll actually do.
In the UK "interior designer" isn't a protected title, though membership of the British Institute of Interior Design (BIID) tells clients you meet a professional standard. A few US states do regulate the title, so check your state's rules before you use it.
Check it's free before you print the sign
Press Check next to any name, or paste it into the Business Name Checker, to see whether the domain and social handles are free. Then search the company register (Companies House in the UK, your state's business register in the US) and the trade mark register for your kind of business. Design studios trade on their portfolio, so make sure the Instagram and Pinterest handles are free too.
This is general guidance, not legal advice. For the full process, read Business Naming Best Practices.
Tips for designers
- Leave room to grow. A name with your surname works whether you stay solo or hire a team.
- Test the handle. Long names get cut short in search results and profile links.
- Match the look. A rustic name on a minimalist portfolio sends mixed signals.
