How to choose interior design business names
When starting out or looking to grow, you might want to know how to name your interior design business. Thinking up interior design business names can be tricky, so why not read our guide to get some inspiration?
How to name your interior design business
Like with the perfect home style, getting a business name exactly right often requires some extra thought. If you're looking for ideas for interior design business names, keep reading for some tips to get you started!
When it comes to a business in any trade, such as painter, home builder or interior designer, your name is important. Choosing something strong, striking, and above all memorable could help you reach more people.
If you're just starting out or looking to grow, here are a few things to consider when settling on a name for your interior design business:
Is it unique? Have a think about your target audience and your services - your business name needs to help you stand out from the crowd
Is it too complicated? Your name needs to be short, simple, catchy, striking and should be able to work well with branding
Can it be marketed easily? If you're planning to reach people, you need to make sure you can be found, so a name that works well for SEO or social media marketing is preferable
Are you planning ahead? If you’re planning on expanding your business outside your local area, then a location-based name wouldn't work further afield
Is it available? Any name should avoid trademark or copyright infringement, so your chosen name should be truly unique
So, with these things in mind**,** we’ve put together some potential name ideas for interior design businesses. These are only to help inspire you. Any name should be your own and reflect who you are and the nature of your trade offering.

Using your name or family in a business name
In the world of skilled trade work, it is not uncommon to use your name or family name for your business.
If you're looking for name ideas for an interior design business, why not let these family-orientated business names help inspire you:
[Full Name] Interior Designs
Interior Designs by [Full Name]
[Surname] Interiors
[Surname]'s Distinctive Design Co.
[First Name]’s Interior Design Company
Finishing Touches by [Surname]
Kindred Interior Designs
Legacy Design Ideas
Descent Designs by [Surname]
Household Decorations by [Full Name]
Using a name can really work if the name itself is less usual. For example, a surname like Smith could be trickier when trying to pick a unique business name.
Registering a business name: How to do it
Starting a business is a bold and positive move, which can dramatically change your life. You might have all of the necessary equipment and have an existing, loyal customer base. But when you’re first starting, you’ll need to check for available company names beforehand. Don’t worry, we’ve got you
Location-specific business names
Other names for interior design businesses could include a place specific to the area or region where you work. This can often help build up a base of clients nearer to your location.
Here are some ways to include a location or area in your business name:
[Location] Interiors
The [Location] Interior Design Co.
Interior Designers of [Location]
[Location] Finishing Touches
Artisan Designers of [Location]
Artistic Interiors of the [Region]
[Region] Dedicated Interiors
Dashing Designers of the [Region]
[Region] Furnishings and Interiors
[Region] Décor Ltd
Be aware that any name that includes a specific location or region could limit potential audiences. Even if you're happy to work wider, the implication in a local company is you are less willing to travel.
Creative interior design business names
Knowing how to name your interior design business can sometimes mean thinking outside of the box.
Using a cleverly worded title can help you stand out in your field, reflecting your services and (potentially) your sense of humour too!
Here are a few examples of how you could think a bit more creatively with your new name:
Spots, Specks and Style
Innervisions Interiors
Down To The Tiniest Detail
Photon Furnishings
Inside-Out Ideas and Interiors
Endeavour Interior Design
Inspired by Interiors
Think Big And Bold
Guiding Light Interior Design
It’s good to remember that these names are all to get your creative juices flowing and are just for inspiration. Always make sure to check whether a name is free with tools such as the government's availability checker.
Top tips for coming up with business names
If you’re still struggling for inspiration for your interior design business, remember that your creativity is at the core of what you do.
So why not apply the same techniques?
Start out with brainstorming some industry-specific keywords
Are there any phrases or words associated with what you do?
Is there any special names or places that could fit?
Try out different combinations of these
Bouncing ideas around a room such as with colleagues, friends or family can also do wonders for creative inspiration.
While your interiors business is your own, and so naming it is ultimately up to you, sometimes the best ideas can come from collaboration.
