How we chose these templates

We reviewed interior design templates in Notion's gallery and on independent stores and kept those built for interior design work rather than generic planners. Each was judged on whether it handles the parts of the job that generic project tools miss.

  • Selections and FF&E: every item with its room, supplier, cost, lead time and status.
  • Client approvals: a clear record of what was approved, by whom and when.
  • Procurement and budget: from quote to order to delivery, against the project budget.
  • Setup effort: can a solo designer or small studio start in an afternoon?

1. InteriorDesignOS: best for running the whole studio

InteriorDesignOS is a studio operating system for interior designers. Its projects dashboard shows client, contractor, construction value, amount invoiced, approvals and DRAW phase for every project, and a deadlines calendar keeps every date in view.

  • Studio home with daily and weekly check-ins
  • Projects dashboard: client, contractor, construction value, amount invoiced, approvals, and DRAW phase
  • Deadlines calendar
  • Clients, Drawings, Approvals, Selections, and Vendors
  • Fees & Invoices
  • Pin Board and Template Vault

Who it suits: studios with several live projects that want selections, approvals and fees connected to each project. Price: $79, one-time; you duplicate it into your own Notion workspace.

2. Studio OS: best for FF&E procurement

Studio OS, listed in Notion's gallery as an interior design and FF&E tracker, describes a dashboard for managing client work, tracking procurement with photo previews and mapping spatial layouts, and comes with a plain-English user manual.

Who it suits: studios where procurement is the daily headache and a visual item list matters.

3. Interior Studio OS Lite: best for small studios

Interior Studio OS Lite, by Chape, is aimed at small studios and covers clients, budgets and FF&E procurement, according to its listing. It is a lighter way into a connected studio system.

4. Interior Design Essentials: best free dashboard

Interior Design Essentials is a free, one-page Notion dashboard for managing client projects, furniture and materials, and budgets. It is a good starting point for a designer running one or two projects who wants everything on a single page.

5. Interior Designer Workspace: best free starter

Interior Designer Workspace is a free, lightweight template for home interior designers to manage their workflow. It suits someone starting out who wants structure without a large system.

Where can you find more interior design templates?

Notion's gallery has a free interior design firm category and a curated top-10 collection. There is also a dedicated FF&E Schedule template that tracks furniture from proposal to delivery, useful if you only need the schedule.

How do you choose the right template?

  1. 1

    Count your live projects

    One or two: a free dashboard is enough. Three or more with suppliers and approvals: choose a connected studio system.

  2. 2

    Find the selections database

    Each item needs a room, supplier, cost, lead time and status. If items are just a checklist on a page, procurement will live elsewhere.

  3. 3

    Check the approval record

    A dated approval linked to the exact item protects you when a client later disputes a decision.

  4. 4

    Test with one room

    Duplicate the template and enter one room with three selections. If a colleague can find the approved item and its order status, it works.
