Create invoiceYour studio should make money without feeling messy.
Workspace connects the parts of a project that directly affect revenue, scope, products, approvals, orders and billing, so you can see what is moving, what is stuck and what should be invoiced next.
Get paid faster.
Turn approved products, tracked fees and project data into invoices without rebuilding the numbers every time.
Take on more clients.
A repeatable project structure means every new client does not require a brand new system, spreadsheet or workflow.
Protect your margin.
Keep budgets, procurement and outstanding payments visible so revenue does not disappear inside disconnected admin.
From client brief to money in the bank.
Not another place to store files. A workflow designed around the way interior studios actually deliver, and bill, projects.
Run the project.
Phases, tasks, progress, timeline and client information live together.
Specify faster.
Pull products and materials into boards and specifications without duplicating work.
Present the design.
Share plans, finishes, renders and selections in one clear client review space.
Get a clear yes.
Clients approve or request changes without decisions disappearing inside messages.
Track the money.
Know what is specified, ordered, shipped and delivered, with the cost beside it.
Bill from the same data.
Turn tracked time, approved work and project costs into clean invoices.
Know what your studio actually makes.
Track design fee revenue, product markup revenue, business expenses and estimated tax in one place, then see your real profit automatically.
Revenue, costs and estimated tax.
One workspace for the entire studio.
Project delivery, client communication, time, budget, sourcing and studio finances all connect, so your team works from one system instead of rebuilding the same information across different tools.
Project management
Manage phases, tasks, milestones, timelines, client details, project progress and every active project from one place.
Shared calendars
Each project has a shared calendar, while the studio dashboard combines events and deadlines across every project you are working on.
Interactive floor plans
Upload plans, place markers directly on the drawing and link each marker to the exact product, finish or specification used in that location.
Notes and recordings
Write meeting notes, share them with clients and team members, and keep meeting recordings attached to the project.
Hourly fee timer
Start a timer, set your hourly rate and automatically calculate design fees from the hours logged on a project.
Mood boards
Create and organise mood boards inside the project so concept development stays connected to products, finishes and client feedback.
Interactive model viewer
Upload your SketchUp model so clients can open the project in 3D, zoom, look around and walk through the design directly in Workspace.
Live project budgeting
Set the client budget and see what is spent and what remains. Products added to the FF&E specification update the budget automatically.
Design review
Clients can approve or request changes on finishes, products, floor plan options, 3D renders and other design variations.
Products and specifications
Build connected FF&E schedules and specifications, with product information feeding into budgets, procurement and client approvals.
Trade requests and brand chat
Request trade information, samples, lead times or product details and chat directly with brands listed on The Design Index.
Orders and tracking
Track specified, ordered, shipped and delivered items alongside costs, markups and project status.
Invoices and payments
Track design fees, product markups, invoices, payments and what is ready to bill next using the same project data.
Studio finance dashboard
See design fee income, product markup income, expenses, estimated tax and monthly profit across the studio.
Designer templates
Access ready made fee structures, welcome guides, investment guides, project presentations, client questionnaires and other studio documents.
Professional resources
Use designer only CAD blocks, technical references, practical design guidance and other resources while working on live projects.
Project seats
Add team members to the projects they work on. Seats can access project tools and collaborate without creating their own independent studio workspace.
Assign work to your team
Assign tasks to designers who have access to the project, keep responsibilities clear and track what needs to happen next.
External project members
Add architects, contractors, plumbers, electricians, painters, photographers, stylists and other external professionals without giving them Workspace access. Keep their names and contact details visible to the client for future reference.
Connect expenses to people
Select an external professional when adding a project expense, record what they quoted and automatically deduct that cost from the live project budget.
Create invoices from project contacts
Choose a saved external professional when creating an invoice, so the person, project and cost information are already connected.
Studio dashboard
See revenue, active projects, monthly profit, approvals, tasks, deadlines and activity across your entire studio at a glance.
Client portal
Give clients one private place to review designs, see project information, follow progress, access shared documents and return to the project later.
Product markups
Set and track product markups alongside sourcing and procurement so the revenue you make on specified products stays visible.
Your membership connects the studio to The Design Index.
The €40/month lead designer membership is not only project software. It also gives your studio visibility, client opportunities and direct access to the professional network around The Design Index.
Your studio profile
Your designer or studio profile is published on thedesignindex.eu, where clients can discover your work, browse your profile and contact or hire you.
Apply to project briefs
Clients can post project briefs on The Design Index. Lead designer members can apply directly and use the platform as another route to finding new work.
Build brand relationships
Connect with brands, chat inside Workspace, request trade support and build direct professional relationships through the platform.
Inspiration gallery
Submit project images to The Design Index inspiration gallery so your work can be discovered beyond your own profile.
Show how you design
Turn completed projects into story based case studies showing the brief, sketches, plans, elevations, renders, decisions and final outcome, helping future clients understand how you think and work.
The project stays useful long after handover.
Workspace becomes the permanent record of the finished interior, so clients do not have to search through old emails, folders or messages years later. Everything that matters stays connected to the project.
Your existing tools, connected to the project.
Workspace does not force designers to abandon the tools they already use. It brings the output from those tools into one client facing project space.
Connect your Stripe account so clients can pay Workspace invoices directly into your own Stripe account. Payment lands with you in seconds, while the invoice status updates inside the project.
Upload your SketchUp model to the project and let clients explore it inside Workspace. They can zoom, pan, look around and walk through the model without leaving the project.
Create presentations in Canva, including the templates provided through Workspace, then link them back to the project so clients can view them or you can present directly from the Workspace.
“The difference is not having more software. It is having one system that shows me what needs my attention, and what can be billed.”
Designed around real interior studio workflowsOne extra project can pay for the entire year.
Your lead designer membership gives you the full Workspace plus your studio profile on The Design Index, access to client project briefs, designer resources and direct connections with brands.
Build the studio.
Not the admin.
Everything your studio needs to move a project forward, with the commercial side visible from day one.
