Listen Later

Scaling your interior design business isn’t just about getting bigger—it’s about making it better. Many designers assume that growth means adding more clients, a larger team, and more revenue, but true scaling is about creating a business that supports your desired lifestyle.

In this episode of Interior Design Business, we’re diving into how to scale your business strategically, whether you want to stay small and profitable, build a national brand, or set up a business that runs without you.

I’ll walk you through the key signs that it’s time to scale, the biggest mistakes designers make when expanding, and how to create a system that ensures profitability without burnout. Plus, I’ll share how to shift from the hustle mentality to a structured, sustainable approach that allows you to take control of your time, clients, and income.

In this episode, we cover: 

📈 The real meaning of scaling—why bigger isn’t always better
⚖️ How to build a business that aligns with your goals and lifestyle
🏗️ Different scaling strategies: staying boutique, expanding nationally, or preparing to sell
💡 The biggest mistake designers make when scaling—and how to avoid it
