Homepolish

Homepolish is changing the way people think about interior design. The company is shaking up an industry that’s traditionally been reserved for an elite few – and making the experience of interior design simple, fun, and accessible to all. Armed with the country’s best designers, an innovative and easy-to-use online platform, a simple hourly rate, and exclusive discounts to the nation’s top brands, this startup is delivering on their vision of making an interior designer a no-brainer for everyone.

Homepolish was founded in late 2012 by interior design visionary Noa Santos and tech mastermind Will Nathan. After honing his skills at a high-end residential design firm, Homepolish Co-Founder Noa Santos intimately understood the needs of talented designers lacking a voice and a community. While working together on the home of Co-Founder Will Nathan, a BuzzFeed coding alumnus and former tech M&A investment banker, the pair hatched a business plan to create an online bespoke interior design solution that makes high-end design fun and approachable for all budgets.

“Homepolish’s vision for interior design is about changing the way you feel when you walk through your door. It’s a lifestyle, not a luxury – and everyone deserves it.” -Homepolish Co-Founder and CEO Noa Santos

Homepolish has created a new level of service for what has historically been a stuffy, anxiety-prone, and inaccessible industry. From accessories to renovations, the Homepolish process is about creating spaces that are tailored to the client’s needs and style, with unparalleled support throughout the process. Whether the budget is $1,000 or $1 million, Homepolish charges by the hour – which means more flexibility, no markups, and no commissions.

Homepolish's design process begins when the client shares their needs and vision on the Homepolish website. The company then hand matches a designer based on the client’s goals and style. Afterwards, the Homepolish designer gets to know the client, and offers inspiration and tips, during a $50 in-home one-hour consultation. After falling in love with their designer, the client can purchase time by the hour and gain access to Homepolish’s exclusive discount program at 70+ of the nation’s top vendors and brands. Designers currently cost $100-$130 per hour, with packages starting at $500.

“We're leveraging technology with a human touch to combine the country's top interior design talent with a revolutionary level of service for our clients.” - Homepolish Co-Founder and President Will Nathan.
