The Best Interior Design Project Management Software in 2025

One of the first things an interior designer should do (right after getting your EIN number and resale certificate) is choose the software that will power your business behind the scenes. Now, please know there is no “one-size-fits-all” when it comes to interior design software. Every designer works differently and the best tool is the one that supports your process, your clients, and your goals.

And while there’s no universal winner, I do have my favorites.

Choosing the right software for your design business isn’t just about ticking boxes on a feature list, rather it is about finding a system that works the way you do, keeps projects moving, and frees you up to spend more time designing (and less time chasing down emails or payment confirmations).

I get it, with so many tools on the market, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. In this guide I will walk you through some of the best interior design management softwares for 2025, breaking down what works best for solo studios, growing teams, and established firms.

Deep Dive: Top Interior Design Project Management Software in 2025

1. Mydoma Studio

Perfect for designers who want an all-in-one client service hub. Mydoma handles proposals, purchase orders, client communication, and even mood boards. Its repeatable workflows make onboarding new clients a breeze and the less time you spend in admin mode, the more time you have for design magic.

2. Studio Designer

A go-to favorite for established firms (and mine!), Studio Designer is the industry’s powerhouse. It blends project management with integrated accounting, meaning budgets, POs, approvals, and financial reports are all in one place. Yes, there’s a slight learning curve but once you’ve got it, the level of control you gain over margins and reporting is worth every minute. I always say, finding confidence in your numbers is everything! 

3. DesignFiles

DesignFiles is all about the visuals. It offers mood boards, product clipping, and 2D/3D basic planning alongside project management. It’s ideal for small to mid-sized studios who want an easy, intuitive tool that keeps clients engaged and projects organized without feeling overwhelming.

4. Design Manager

A long-standing staple in the industry is Design Manager, which combines solid accounting with reliable project management. With clear per-user pricing and strong reporting features, it’s great for designers who want full financial visibility and a steady, proven platform.

How to Choose the Right Software

• List your must-haves – Accounting? Client portal? FF&E tracking? Reporting? Start with your non-negotiables.

• Map your workflow – From inquiry to installation, identify the spots where things slow down and choose a tool that eliminates those bottlenecks.

• Match the Tool to your Business – Large firms may need a full all-in-one platform; smaller studios may thrive with a simpler project management system paired with a spec tool.

• Consider your team – Choose software that scales with your business and is easy for your team to adopt.

• Test drive before you buy – I am always a firm believer in a test drive or as I like to say “beta” test. It is important to see how the tool fits your process and your client experience, so be sure to give yourself time and space to do so. If you are in a busy season of your business, now is not the time to be switching softwares.

• Think beyond the subscription fee – Factor in onboarding, training, and per-user costs to avoid surprises. It is usually never just the cost of the software. 

Bottom Line

The best interior design project management software is the one that works for you. The right tool will tame the chaos, keep communication smooth, and make sure every detail is tracked without stealing your creative time.

When you choose thoughtfully, software doesn’t just organize your business it helps you grow it.
