How to find and Dominate Your Interior Design Niche
Finding and dominating a niche in the interior design industry is crucial for distinguishing yourself in this crowded market.
- Your niche could be defined by the style of design you specialize in, such as minimalist or sustainable interiors,
- Also by the type of clients you serve, like high-end residential or boutique commercial spaces.
- But also - and this is the part almost everyone skips - think in terms of what makes you unique, what are your Interior Design Principles? What sets you apart? What is your 'design religion'? The key is to ensure that your Principles - your core values and distinctive methodologies that set you apart - are woven into every aspect of your business.
Consistency is critical. Your niche should be reflected across all your outings, from your website to your social media presence. And believe me, you never talk enough about it, although you might feel like you keep on repeating yourself over and over. This is difficult for a creative, but your clients need to hear this consistent language in order to start believing in what you believe, start trusting in what you trust.
This clear and consistent focus helps to build a reputation within your niche, attracting clients who value your specific expertise.
