An interior design portfolio is a selection of your work that shows the spaces you design, how you develop an idea and what you contributed. It can be a website or a PDF. Start with projects, add photographs and drawings that explain them, and make it clear how someone can contact you.
Heya is made by the team that wrote this guide, so read its row with that in mind. Prices come from each company's own pages, checked on November 9, 2026.

Not stated means the company's own pages we checked don't give that detail.

These are Heya templates. Each one is live: open the demo, or start your own from it.
Start with the work you want someone to hire you for, or the work that answers the school or job brief. Put that project first. Don't open with an older project just because it came first in your course or career.
What did you do? For each project, name the brief, explain your role and show the work you contributed, especially if you worked with a team and the finished space includes decisions that weren't yours. Label student work and unbuilt concepts as such.
Be selective.
Keep a project when you have something clear to show: a finished space, a plan that explains the layout, or development work worth looking through. You don't need to give every project equal space (or the same page layout). If the images repeat what another project already shows, leave them out.
Use a finished photograph to introduce a completed space, then add the images that help someone understand it. For before and after photos, choose views that let the reader compare the same part of the room. Label them plainly.
A plan needs room.
Don't shrink a drawing until its labels are unreadable just to fit it beside a photograph, and don't include every drawing from the project when a selected plan can show the layout you're discussing.
What does the mood board add? Include it when you want to show the materials, colours or references behind the design. Keep captions close to the images, credit photography and check that you have permission to publish it.
And check the portfolio on your phone before sharing it. Open the images, read the captions, look at the plans. Keep technical labels readable (even if that means changing the layout).
For a student portfolio, make the assignment and your response clear. Include research or development work where it shows a design decision, and say whether the project was built, proposed or completed as coursework. Don't present a group project without explaining your part.
A studio website can put completed work alongside a description of the services offered and a way to get in touch, while each project page names the brief, the studio's role and the people whose work needs credit.
Different reader, different selection.
Applying for a course or job? Check the submission requirements before choosing between a website and a PDF. For client enquiries, make your contact details easy to find.
But you don't have to publish every project today. Choose the work, write the captions and put together a version you're ready to share (you can keep the rest aside).
We took every price, limit and feature from each company's own pages, checked on November 9, 2026. Heya's details come from its pricing page and docs, checked on October 30, 2026. The facts come from behance.net/pro, wix.com/plans, wix.com, showit.com/pricing, carrd.com/docs/pro/plans, carrd.com/pro, heya.page/pricing and heya.page/docs.
Plans change often. If a number here is out of date, email hello@heya.page and we'll fix it.
Include selected projects, a short introduction, your role in each project and contact details. Use finished photographs where you have them, with plans, drawings or mood boards that show the design. For student or unbuilt work, say what it is. Credit collaborators and photographers rather than leaving the reader to guess.
There's no fixed count to aim for here. Follow any school or job submission requirements, then choose projects you can present clearly. Ask yourself whether each project adds something you want the reader to see. If it repeats another project or needs images you don't have permission to use, leave it out.
Use the format the recipient asks for. A website gives you a portfolio address to share; a PDF lets you prepare a particular selection for a submission. You can keep both. On Heya, pages hold images rather than PDF files, so host a PDF elsewhere and link to it from a button.
