*Interior design:  case study  

Building brand and web design on Squarespace for an emerging interior design studio.

At SET Collective, we specialize in helping interior designers build websites and brand presence that showcase their creative work and attract new clients.

In this case study, we’ll show how we designed a custom Squarespace website and brand design for Haven Studio Interiors, a women-owned interior design firm — going from non-existent online presence to a client-generating brand showcase in mere weeks.

The Before: Bland & Unapproachable

About Haven Studio Interiors


Haven Studio Interiors is a boutique, women-owned interior design firm. They wanted to be known for modern, elevated residential projects; their work speaks volumes — but their old website didn’t.

  • Outdated design that didn’t reflect the quality of their projects.

  • Poor SEO visibility — they weren’t ranking for “Austin interior designer”.

  • A hidden contact form that limited client inquiries.

They needed a professional, portfolio-driven website that not only looked beautiful but also brought in qualified leads.

THE CHALLENGE

Website Challenges Facing Interior Designers


Like many interior designers, Haven Studio Interiors struggled with:

  • Low visibility online: Their site wasn’t showing up in search results for high-value keywords like “Austin interior design firm”.

  • Outdated design: The site lacked mobile responsiveness and didn’t showcase their portfolio effectively.

Weak lead generation: Their inquiry form was hard to find, leading to lost opportunities.

OUR APPROACH

Our Squarespace Website + brand design Strategy


To address these challenges, SET Collective built a custom Squarespace site that balances SEO and visual storytelling.

  • Portfolio-first layout: Showcased projects in a clean, modern grid with keyword-rich image alt text (“Austin modern living room design”).

  • Local SEO optimization: Created service pages targeting “Interior Design Services in Austin, TX” with on-page SEO best practices.

  • Lead generation redesign: Added a streamlined “Book a Consultation” CTA across pages, including the homepage hero section.

  • Visual identity alignment: Developed a cohesive color palette and typography system that matched the firm’s luxury positioning.

Instagram + Pinterest integration: Optimized project pages for shareability, creating a seamless connection between social and web.
