20 Perfect Social Media Templates for Interior Designers

Struggling to figure out what to post next? We’ve got you covered! 

These interior design social media templates were made to help you show up online with posts that feel polished, personal, and true to your brand, without starting from scratch every time. From quick styling tips to heartfelt stories, these ideas work whether you’re a seasoned pro or just getting your feet wet.

Each template comes with a matching ChatGPT prompt so you can easily add your own spin and make your posts sound like you. Take what works, tweak what doesn’t, and watch your feed stay fresh and beautifully on-brand. 

How to make these social media templates your own

Follow these steps to make these templates work for your interior design business. 

1. Pick a template

Start by choosing a template that feels right for what you want to share. Whether it’s a quick tip, a personal story, or a behind-the-scenes peek, pick the one that sparks an idea for you.

2. Make it yours

Edit the template directly and fill in the blanks with your own thoughts, opinions, or little details only you would say. This is where your personality shines through. Your audience wants your take!

3. Plug in the prompt

If you’d rather, copy the matching prompt and pop it into ChatGPT. Add your specifics—like names, stories, or your favorite phrases—and let it help you polish or expand the post.

4. Tweak to fit your voice

Read it back and adjust the tone, length, or wording until it truly sounds like you. If you have a piece you’ve written from scratch, share it in the same chat. ChatGPT can match your vibe beautifully.

Below, we’ve got 20 ready-to-use social media templates. 

We’ve also included ChatGPT prompts you can edit to instantly make these templates your own.

1. Easy seasonal room accessories to freshen up your living room

Template:

Switching up your living room for {{holiday}} doesn’t have to mean a full redesign. 

I love adding simple touches like {{item 1}}, {{item 2}}, and {{item 3}}. 

These small changes instantly make the space feel fresh and festive without breaking the bank. 

It’s amazing how the right accessories can completely change the vibe of a room. 

What’s your favorite seasonal swap?

Prompt:

Revise this post to be about Christmas. Write in my tone of voice: warm, conversational, and slightly playful. Keep it around 70 words. Suggest a few alternative seasonal items and a closing question that invites engagement.

2. My biggest pet peeve with the design industry

Template:

One thing I wish more people talked about is my biggest pet peeve in the design world: {{pet peeve}}.

It drives me up the wall when {{describe why it bothers you}}.

I really believe we’d all create better spaces if we {{what you’d rather see happen instead}}.

Do you agree, or do you have a different design pet peeve?

Prompt:

Revise this post to include a personal story about when an acquaintance expected free design work. Keep it warm and conversational. Stay under 80 words and end with a question that invites your audience to share their own design frustrations.

3. The art and science of {{item}} selection

Template:

There’s an art and a science to {{item}} selection.

It’s not just about what looks good. It has to work for the space and the people living in it.

I always consider {{factor 1}}, {{factor 2}}, and {{factor 3}} before I decide what’s right.

When you get it right, the whole room feels pulled together and functional.

What’s your top tip for choosing the perfect {{item}}?

Prompt:

Rewrite this post to be about lighting selection. Include a quick personal tip on what you always check for when picking light fixtures for your own home. Keep it warm, conversational, and slightly playful—under 80 words—and end with a question to spark replies.

4. A story of a difficult project

Template:

Not every project goes smoothly — and that’s okay. One of my most challenging projects was {{brief description of the project}}.

We hit a big roadblock when {{what went wrong}}.

But by {{what you did to fix it}}, we turned it around and the result was so worth it.

Sometimes the tough ones teach you the most.

Have you ever tackled a project that tested you?

Prompt:

Rewrite this post to be about a difficult project that involved a nightmare contractor who didn’t deliver on time. Add a quick detail about how you handled it and what you learned from the experience. Make it warm, conversational, and slightly playful. Expand it to about 90 words and end with a question that invites your audience to share their own renovation horror stories.

5. A before-and-after transformation

Template:

Nothing makes me happier than a good before-and-after.

This space started as {{short description of the original state}} — and now look at it!

By changing {{key change 1}}, {{key change 2}}, and {{key change 3}}, we completely transformed the feel of the room.

It’s proof that thoughtful design can make any space shine.

What’s your favorite before-and-after moment in your own home?

Prompt:

Rewrite this post to be under 70 words and include a specific design tip that guided the transformation, like using light colors to open up a small space. Keep it warm, conversational, and slightly playful. End with a question that invites your audience to share their own favorite design transformation tip.

6. Mistakes you can avoid by hiring a designer

Template:

Thinking about going it alone? Here are 5 mistakes you can easily avoid by hiring a designer:

1. Buying furniture that’s the wrong scale for the room

2. Picking paint colors without testing samples first

3. Forgetting about proper lighting layers

4. Blowing the budget on trendy items that don’t last

5. Overlooking flow and function for style alone

Good design saves you time, money, and stress in the long run.

Having the right professional by your side is always worthwhile. 

Prompt:

Rewrite this post to share a quick personal story about one time you made one of these mistakes yourself (like buying furniture that didn’t fit). Keep it warm, conversational, and slightly playful—under 90 words—and end with a question inviting your audience to share their own design missteps.

7. How interior design impacts stress management

Template:

A well-designed space does more than look pretty. It can actually help you feel calmer and more in control.

Thoughtful design choices like {{element 1}}, {{element 2}}, and {{element 3}} make a huge difference for stress management.

When your home feels peaceful, your mind does too.

Sometimes good design really is self-care.

Prompt:

Rewrite this post to include a quick personal example of a design choice you made in your own home that helps you unwind (like cozy lighting or decluttering). Add a gentle reminder that good design is self-care.

8. The biggest business lesson I learned this year

Template:

This year taught me one big lesson: growth doesn’t always mean saying yes to everything.

I learned that turning down projects that aren’t the right fit leaves space for the ones that truly light me up and serve my clients best.

Staying true to my style and values has made my work more fulfilling and my business stronger.

Here’s to more intentional growth next year.

Prompt:

Rewrite this post to share a different lesson: the importance of setting clear boundaries with clients. Keep it under 80 words. Include a quick detail about how setting boundaries has helped your business thrive.

9. How to declutter a space

Template:

Decluttering doesn’t have to mean getting rid of everything. Keep what you love and let go of the rest.

I always start by tackling {{area to start with}}, then sort items into keep, donate, or toss piles.

These decluttering rules make the process so much simpler:

1. If you haven’t used it in a year, you don’t need it.

2. If it doesn’t have a home, find one or let it go.

3. Be honest. Do you really love it, or are you just used to it?

A few simple edits can make any space feel lighter, calmer, and easier to live in.

Sometimes less really is more.

Prompt:

Rewrite this post to include a quick story about a recent time you decluttered a room in your own home, including what area you tackled and how it felt afterward. Make the story suspenseful. Stay around 90 words.

10. How I define success

Template:

Success used to mean {{what you used to think success was}}.

But over time, I’ve realized real success looks more like {{what success means to you now}} 

I want work that lights me up, clients I love, and a life that feels good outside of work, too.

It’s not always about bigger, faster, more.

Sometimes it’s about enough, and enjoying it.

Prompt:

Rewrite this post in a more reflective, almost journal-like tone. Make it feel like you’re letting your audience peek into your private thoughts about how your idea of success has changed. Use first-person, raw language. Keep it under 90 words.

11. Which design trends to follow and not to follow

Template:

Design trends come and go, but not every trend deserves a spot in your home.

I always say: follow trends that {{reason to follow}}, and skip the ones that {{reason to skip}}.

Right now, I love {{trend you love}} because it feels timeless and personal.

On the flip side, I’d pass on {{trend you’d skip}}. It just doesn’t fit how most people really live.

Whether you lean towards trendy or timeless, it’s all about making your space yours.

Prompt:

Edit this template to include specific trends that fit your brand as a luxury interior designer. Mention one timeless high-end trend you love (like natural stone or custom millwork) and one trendy idea you’d skip (like fast furniture or cheap replicas).

12. The process behind my most affordable design service

Template:

Design help doesn’t have to break the bank. That’s why I created my {{name of service}}.

It’s my most accessible service and perfect for {{who it’s for}}.

The process is simple: you fill out a quick questionnaire, I create a custom design plan, and you bring it to life at your own pace.

Beautiful spaces should be for everyone, not just big budgets.

Prompt:

Rewrite this post to expand the section about the process, add more detail so it matches exactly how I describe this service on my website page. Keep it warm, conversational, and easy to follow. Make sure the steps feel clear and reassuring for a client who wants design help without a huge budget. {{Insert text from website page.}}

13. An unusual color combination that just works

Template:

Sometimes the best design moments come from taking a chance.

One of my favorite unexpected color combos is {{color 1}} and {{color 2}}. They shouldn’t work together, but they absolutely do.

The key is {{tip for making it work, like balancing tones or adding neutrals}}.

It’s a good reminder that great design doesn’t always play it safe.

Prompt:

Rewrite this post to include a short story about where you first saw this unusual color combination, maybe in a past project or a place that inspired you. Explain how you made it work in a real room. Keep it warm, conversational, and a bit playful. Stretch it to around 80 words.

14. Reasons hiring an interior designer is worth it

Template:

If you’ve ever wondered if hiring a designer is worth it, here’s my take: it absolutely is.

A good designer helps you:

1. Avoid costly mistakes

2. Bring ideas you’d never think of

3. Save hours of decision fatigue

4. Source unique, quality pieces

5. Create a space that truly works for your life

It’s one of the smartest investments you can make in your home.

Prompt:

Revise the post to include a short personal story working with a client who hadn’t hired an interior designer before. Add a testimonial from them, pulled from my website. {Insert website content or list of testimonials here.}

15. My favorite room in my home and why

Template:

If I had to pick just one room in my home that makes me happiest, it’s definitely my {{room name}}.

I love it because {{reason 1}} and {{reason 2}}. It just feels like me.

Whenever I’m in this space, I feel {{how it makes you feel: cozy, inspired, relaxed, etc.}}.

It’s a good reminder that great design is all about how a room makes you feel.

Prompt:

Edit this to be about my dining room, and share that it’s a space where I regularly have friends and family hang out and enjoy slow meals. Keep it around 80 words. 

16. Tips for designing asymmetrical spaces

Template:

Designing an asymmetrical space can feel tricky, but it’s one of my favorite ways to keep a room feeling fresh and interesting.

My go-to tips:

✅Balance big pieces with visual weight, not perfect symmetry

✅Use color or texture to guide the eye

✅Anchor the space with a focal point, like art or lighting

A little asymmetry adds personality, so embrace it.

Prompt:

Revise this post to include some details from this portfolio piece which will accompany the post. {Upload the image from your portfolio into ChatGPT.}

17. The moment I got the confidence to start my design business

Template:

I still remember the moment I finally found the courage to start my design business.

Back then, it felt impossible. I had {{describe a challenge or doubt}}, and I kept telling myself I wasn’t ready.

Then one day, {{describe the turning point: an event, conversation, or realization}}.

Something clicked. I realized no one was going to hand me permission, I had to give it to myself.

So I did. I took a deep breath, made the leap, and never looked back.

Prompt:

Revise this post to reflect the story I tell on my about page. {Insert about page content into ChatGPT.}

18. Design rules that stand the test of time

Template:

Trends come and go, but a few design rules always stand the test of time, no matter what’s “in” this year.

Here are 3 timeless guidelines I live by:

Invest in {{type of quality piece}}. They’ll outlast trends and ground your space beautifully.

Make the most of natural light. Think about {{how you enhance or maximize light in your spaces}}.

Balance beauty with how you actually live. A stunning {{item}} means nothing if it doesn’t work for your everyday life.

When you stick to these, your home will home will feel like yours.

Prompt:

Rewrite this post to include a quick personal example of how you use these timeless rules in your own projects. Share one piece you’ve invested in or a small way you maximize natural light. 

19. A design rule I love to break

Template:

I’ve never been one to follow every design rule by the book.

One “rule” I actually love to break is {{design rule you break}}. It just makes a space feel more unexpected and personal.

Sometimes doing the “wrong” thing ends up being exactly right for the room and the people living in it.

Design should work for real life, not just the textbook.

Prompt:

Rewrite this post to share a real example of a time you broke this rule in a project. Explain what you did and why it worked. 

20. Types of people who should NOT hire an interior designer 

Template:

I know this might surprise you, but not everyone should hire an interior designer, and that’s okay!

Here are 3 types of people who might be better off going solo:

{{Type 1 — e.g., someone who loves total DIY control}}

{{Type 2 — e.g., someone who changes their mind every week}}

{{Type 3 — e.g., someone who isn’t ready to invest in quality}}

Design is a partnership. It works best when we’re truly on the same page.

Prompt:

Rewrite this post to include a lighthearted personal note about why you’re happy to let these people tackle design on their own. Keep it warm, conversational, and slightly cheeky, around 80 to 90 words.
