Step 1
Decide if Interior Design is the right industry to target
The Interior Design industry
The Interior Design industry focuses on the planning, design, and decoration of interior spaces, creating functional, aesthetically pleasing, and safe environments. Interior designers work on residential, commercial, and public spaces, considering factors such as space planning, lighting, color schemes, materials, furniture, and accessories.
What businesses are included
Interior design encompasses a broad spectrum of activities, from space planning and furniture selection to color consultations and lighting design. For example, an interior designer might specialize in residential design, focusing on creating functional and stylish homes, while another might specialize in commercial design, creating welcoming and efficient office spaces, retail stores, or restaurants.
When targeting the Interior Design industry on LinkedIn, your search will automatically cover all related sub-industries. To maximize the relevance of your leads, you may want to exclude certain sub-industries that don’t align with your ideal customer profile.
Sub-industries included in Interior Design:
Which businesses are not included
While interior design involves aesthetics and creating visually appealing spaces, it's important to distinguish it from decorating or home staging. Decorating typically focuses on surface embellishments, such as paint colors, furniture arrangement, and accessories, while interior design involves a more holistic approach, considering the functionality, flow, and overall design of the space. Home staging, on the other hand, focuses on preparing homes for sale, highlighting their best features and appealing to potential buyers. However, there can be some overlap, as interior designers often need to possess decorating skills and may incorporate home staging principles into their work, particularly for residential projects.

You can export up to 2,500 leads per day from Sales Navigator. If your search results is higher than this limit, consider narrowing your filters or breaking your search results into multiple saved lead lists that can be exported over several days.
