Hundreds of studio name and tagline ideas, tuned to your focus and style: from your own name to warm material and nature words to clean modern marks. Copy the ones you love and check the domain and Instagram handle in a click. Built for interior designers by Nakada Design.
Tip: click .com or IG on any idea to check if the domain and Instagram handle are free. A name is only yours once the domain, the handles, your state registry and the USPTO trademark search all come back clear.
Three Ways to Name an Interior Design Studio
Your own name. “Kelly Ferrara Interiors” is personal, trustworthy and impossible to copy: the natural choice for high-end residential work where affluent clients are hiring you, and the model behind most celebrated design houses. The trade-off is that a personal name is harder to add partners to or sell later.
A material, nature or place word. Linen, Slate, Willow, Marlowe, Harbor, Terra. Words drawn from the materials on your palette and the places your work lives are memorable and brandable, and they scale from a solo designer to a studio with associates and a product line. This tool draws from a large bank of them, paired with studio words and set to your chosen style.
A clean descriptive mark. “North Loft Interiors” or “Studio Vale” tells a client what you do and carries weight in local search. Keep it broad enough that you are not boxed in if you move from residential into hospitality or commercial down the line.
Before You Commit: Check It’s Available
A name you can’t own is a name you can’t use. Run every shortlisted name through four checks: the .com domain, the Instagram and Pinterest handles, your state business-entity registry, and the USPTO trademark database for the interior design class. The .com and IG links on each idea above start the first two for you.
Then say it out loud, spell it to someone over the phone, and picture it on a project sign, an invoice and the corner of a beautifully photographed room. If it survives all of that, it’s a keeper, and worth registering everywhere before you announce it.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I come up with an interior design business name?
Work from three angles (your own name, a material/nature/place word, or a clean descriptive mark), then pair it with a studio word like Interiors, Design Studio or Atelier and test that it’s easy to say, spell and remember.
Should I name it after myself?
Great for luxury and residential work where clients hire you specifically; it’s the model behind most named design houses. A material or abstract name scales better if you’ll add associates, a product line, or plan to sell.
How do I check if a name is available?
Check the .com domain, the Instagram and Pinterest handles, your state’s business registry and the USPTO trademark database. Only use a name when all four are clear.
What makes a good design brand name?
Easy to say and spell, distinct in your market, available as a domain and handle, matched to the feeling of your work, and not locked into one service if you might expand. Avoid odd spellings, numbers and hyphens.
