Client Scheduling Software for Interior Designers
New enquiries book a discovery call from your portfolio, site visits come with a fee and travel time, and project clients book check-ins from their own link.
Updated 22 October 2026
Why do interior designers lose time and leads to scheduling?
Someone finds your portfolio at ten in the evening, ready to talk about their kitchen, and all they can do is fill in a contact form. By the time you answer they have written to two other studios. Once a project starts, it runs for months through discovery calls, site visits, presentations and regular check-ins, each a different length and some across town. Arranging all of that by email is a part-time job. In Tymeslot, every kind of meeting has its own link and its own rules, so enquiries book on the spot and project clients book their next check-in without asking you for times.
Why one video-call link can't run a design project
Most schedulers assume every meeting is the same video call. An interior design practice runs a 30-minute call, a two-hour visit to a flat across town and a presentation at the client's home in the same week. If the scheduler doesn't know the visit needs an hour of travel on either side, you fix it by hand or arrive late.
The free site visit is the other leak. Measuring a room and talking through options is real work, and some prospects use it as free advice. Tymeslot lets you charge a fixed visit fee through your own Stripe account before the visit is confirmed, give site visits their own availability with a travel buffer, and keep check-ins for existing clients on private links that never appear on your public page.
Everything interior designers need. Nothing they don't.
A Meeting Type for Each Project Stage
Discovery call, site visit, design presentation and project check-in are separate meeting types, each with a length, link and questions of its own.
Travel Time Around Site Visits
Give site visits their own availability schedule with a buffer of up to two hours, so the next booking always leaves time to drive across town, and limit visits to two a day.
Paid Discovery Calls and Site Visits
On Pro, the site visit carries a fixed fee, €120 in this setup, that the client pays while booking. Prospects who only wanted free advice drop out at that step, before you have measured a single room.
Video or In Person, the Client Chooses
Offer a presentation at your studio or by video on the same meeting type. Video bookings get a Google Meet, Microsoft Teams or Zoom link automatically.
Private Check-In Links
Make project check-ins a private meeting type and send the link only to active clients. Partners or contractors can be added as guests to the booking.
Home Addresses Kept Out of Ad Networks
A site visit booking holds a client's home address, so the booking page carries no advertising trackers and the managed service is hosted on servers in the EU. The address reaches you and your calendar, not an ad audience.

Common scheduling scenarios
How do interior designers turn late-night enquiries into discovery calls?
Many enquiries arrive in the evening, when someone is sitting in the room they want changed. A contact form with a two-day reply loses that moment; a booking button keeps it.
- Create a 30-minute "Discovery call" with video and phone as two locations, and let the client choose.
- On Pro, the booking form asks which rooms, what kind of project and when they would like to start.
- Put the booking page behind the enquiry button on your site and in your Instagram bio.
- Read the answers before the call, so you arrive knowing whether it is a kitchen, a whole flat or a single sofa.
How do interior designers schedule site visits and presentations?
After the call, the project moves to a site visit and later a design presentation. Each runs a different length and needs different preparation, and the visit needs travel time.
- Create a 2-hour "Site visit" with an in-person location labelled "At your property"; the address comes from a booking question.
- Site visits run on a schedule of their own, with a 60-minute buffer for travel and three days' minimum notice.
- List what the client should have ready (measurements, existing plans, photos of the rooms) in the visit's description, where they read it as they book.
- Create a 60-minute "Design presentation" offered at your studio or by video, and send its link once the concept is ready.
How do interior designers handle check-ins across several projects?
With three or four projects on the go, arranging fortnightly check-ins takes hours of messages. A private link moves the job to the client.
- Create a private 45-minute "Project check-in" meeting type; it never appears on your public page.
- Limit it to the days you keep for client meetings, and cap it at three a day.
- Send the link to each client when their project starts; they book the next check-in whenever it suits them.
- Let clients add a partner or their contractor as a guest, so everyone who needs to be there gets the invitation.

A starter setup for interior designers
| Meeting type | Duration | Buffer | Minimum notice | Bookable ahead | Payment at booking |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Discovery call | 30 min | 15 min | 1 day | 30 days | None |

Intake questions
- Which rooms or spaces is the project about?
- Is it a renovation, a new build or furnishing an existing space?
- The address or area of the property.
- When would you like the work to start?
- A link to photos of the space or a Pinterest board, if you have one.
Site visits carry an hour's buffer for travel, which you don't want between video calls. Travel buffer, notice and horizon are schedule settings, so each of the three types gets a schedule to itself.
Tymeslot compared with HoneyBook and SavvyCal
Tymeslot handles the meetings in a design project, HoneyBook the whole client relationship, and SavvyCal the scheduling link. For an interior designer the rows that decide it are the property details collected before a visit, where clients' home addresses are kept, and whether a site visit is paid when it is booked. HoneyBook is the better choice if you want proposals, contracts and invoices next to the scheduler, and SavvyCal takes paid bookings only on its Premium plan. Tymeslot's managed service is hosted in the EU and charges the visit fee on Pro.
