We’re taking a little bit of a detour from our traditional Mini News episodes to highlight our latest informational webinar, “The 6 Keys to Success on Instagram.” Today’s excerpt focuses on why Interior designers need to be on Instagram (spoiler alert: because 52% online brand discovery happens in public social feeds!). If you want to watch the full one-hour webinar, you can go to our Instagram @wingnutsocial and click the link in our bio, or visit https://wingnutsocial.ewebinar.com/webinar/free-webinar-the-6-keys-to-success-on-instagram-9971

Flat Fee vs. Hourly: How to Price Your Interior Design Services

One of the best kept secrets in the interior design industry is designing for vacation homes. How do you do it? How do you get into it? What are the benefits? Today’s guests, Melinda Cahill and Suzanne Glavin of North Shore Nest, discuss the ins and outs of vacation home design. Stay tuned!
“We began North Shore Nest in 2004 from our basements in Glenview.  Prior to launching, we were doing design projects on the side for family and friends while we worked our full time careers.  When the market crashed, we made the decision to launch North Shore Nest full time, and we have spent the last seventeen years designing spaces for working professionals and young families along the North Shore.  Our shared passion for great design paired with sensibility allows us to transform interiors into warm, livable spaces that stand the test of time. By taking a fresh updated approach to traditional styling and building rooms with layers, we are able to provide depth and individuality allowing our clients to live beautifully everyday. We are based in Glenview Illinois, serving the Chicago area and surrounding suburbs, as well as the Lake Geneva Wisconsin area. We are also currently working on new construction design projects in Scottsdale Arizona and Naples Florida and enjoy the diversity and learning opportunities offered by working in communities other than our own.”

How to Design Vacation Homes and the Joy in Niching Down Your Business

Can niching down your business actually multiply your income? Is it possible to make a luxury service like design accessible to more people? How do you set boundaries with clients and start attracting the type of people you love to work with? All this and more on today's episode with Elle & Yvette of Decorelle Studio!
We are Elle & Yvette, sisters and founders of Décorelle Studio, a luxury interior design firm servicing the DMV area and beyond. We founded Décorelle in 2018 to fill a gap in the interior design market – one that often fails to capture the newlyweds who just bought their first home, the empty nesters who want to reimagine their nest, or the bachelor(ette) who is just starting life out. Over the years, we have mastered the art of marrying the luxury that is interior design and accessibility.
