Who this template is for

Interior Design Questionnaire is built for studios, freelancers and creative agencies who need to brief a project properly before work starts.

  • Studios, freelancers and creative agencies working in creative, design & media.
  • Teams who need to brief a project properly before work starts without writing code or paying for a custom build.
  • Anyone replacing scope creep caused by an incomplete brief with one structured record per enquiry.
  • Respondents are clients and collaborators — the form asks them 22 questions across 3 screens.
  • Mobile-heavy audiences, thanks to the one-question-per-screen card layout.

Why this form is useful

It removes the cost of scope creep caused by an incomplete brief and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.

  • 9 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
  • It collects a verified email address so replies and confirmations land.
  • It captures a phone number for urgent follow-up.
  • It accepts a document or photo upload as evidence.
  • It pins the request to a specific date.
  • It captures a full postal address.
  • Conditional logic hides 2 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
  • Splitting the form across 3 pages keeps each screen short and shows respondents how much is left.

Logic and conditions blueprint

Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 2 conditional rules ship with it.

  • Features conditional validation: if “Furniture or artwork to retain?” is Yes, “Retained pieces, dimensions and condition” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
  • Features conditional validation: if “Building changes anticipated?” is Yes, “Potential layout or building changes to discuss” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
  • All 2 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.

About this template

A room can photograph beautifully and still fail the people who use it every day. This questionnaire brings household routines into the design brief alongside visual preferences, helping a designer understand what needs to change and what already works. It opens with the client, property and rooms in scope, then asks about dimensions, light, circulation and the activities each space must support. Clients can share plans and reference images without needing a vocabulary for design styles. The preferences section separates admired looks from practical constraints such as storage, maintenance and furniture that must stay. A question about retained pieces reveals dimensions and condition early, before a proposed layout depends on replacing something the client intends to keep. Decision-maker details clarify whose feedback will guide approvals, while the investment discussion distinguishes an overall budget from priorities within it. Timing and consultation availability close the brief with a realistic starting point for a discovery meeting. Independent interior designers and decorating studios can use this for residential consultations, single-room refreshes or multi-room planning. It is not a measured survey, a construction specification or approval to purchase furnishings. Any work involving building changes needs its own qualified assessment, and the studio should confirm its services, fees and deliverables in a separate engagement before design work begins.

Frequently asked questions

Do clients need professional floor plans?

No. Approximate dimensions and photos can support discovery; confirm measurements before design decisions.

Can this cover a whole-home remodel?
