An Introduction to Notion
If you don’t know what Notion is here is a quick TL:DR
Notion is a multifaceted tool designed to organise your professional life into one digestible platform.
You can use this platform for any part of your design business from task management to your social media management to compiling a staff handbook.
Here are its key features:
Note-Taking: Replace your physical notebooks with digital pages where you can jot down ideas, meeting minutes, and design inspirations.
Task Management: Create to-do lists and set deadlines, making it easy to keep track of projects and milestones.
Collaboration: Share pages and workspaces with team members for seamless real-time collaboration.
Database Management: Keep track of suppliers, materials, and client information in sortable tables, allowing quick access to vital data.
Templates: Pre-designed templates for mood boards, project timelines, and even invoices, making your workflow more efficient.
Why It Works for Interior Designers:
Visual Arrangement: Notion's user-friendly interface allows you to drag and drop elements, making it easy for those who think visually.
Flexibility: It’s versatile enough to adapt to your specific workflow, whether you’re freelancing or part of a larger team.
Accessibility: Available on multiple devices, so you can stay connected with your team and clients anytime, anywhere.
One thing I love about Notion is that they are continually improving how to do things. With a huge engineering team, they are obsessed with productivity and how it can be used to improve everyone’s life- whether it be personal or business.
In the last few months, they have introduced so many little details such as freezing columns in databases to increasing automation. By introducing these improvements, Notion is really increasing the productivity of their users.
The capability of Notion is so vast that it seems overwhelming at first, but once you understand how it works it can really speed up your productivity and management of your business.
On my two new channels, I create content about Notion tips, Notion productivity hacks, Notion designs, tools and so much more. I’m going to be initially posting 2 to 3 easily digestible tips per week so make sure that you follow so you can build your Notion knowledge slowly and surely. It is the best way.
I will also be creating lots of templates that may be of interest to you. They will range from lists of resources to dashboards that you can immediately integrate into your existing Notion for Interior Designers workspace.
If you are interested in learning about Notion, I suggest you start with my Notion for Interior Designers YouTube playlist. In this series of 10 videos, I create an interior design Notion workspace from scratch. It comes with the template that I built in the video.
I’ll link it below.

Eclectic Cool represented international brands such as Gubi, &tradition, HAY, Armadillo Rugs & Dinosaur Designs to name a few.
