AI-powered all-in-one interior design software for studios
Interior Design Project Management Software for Studios
Diako Studio helps interior design studios replace scattered mood board tools, spreadsheets, PDFs, email approvals, separate task apps, disconnected showroom screens, and accounting software with one platform for projects, AI-assisted mood boards, kitchen suggestions, client communication, showroom displays, sourcing, proposals, purchase orders, invoicing, and accounting workflow.
- Mood BoardsBuild room-based mood boards that stay presentation-ready and tied to the live project.
- Task boardTrack studio follow-up with project-linked tasks, owners, due dates, and clear next actions.
- Accounting-readyMove approved selections into proposals, invoices, payments, and accounting records without rebuilding every record.
Why studios start looking
Interior design studios outgrow scattered tools long before they outgrow their projects
Many studios start with a mix of mood board tools, spreadsheets, PDFs, email threads, task apps, and accounting software. The friction starts when the same project has to be reassembled at every stage: mood board presentation in one place, selections somewhere else, approvals in email, sourcing in spreadsheets, and invoicing in another system.
- Selections are retyped from mood boards into specifications, proposals, and invoices.
- Room-level design work lives in a mood board tool that is disconnected from the real project record.
- Clients review work through long email chains instead of one clear review space.
- Internal follow-up sits in a separate task app with no link to the project decision behind it.
- Studio leads piece together delivery status and financial follow-through manually across tools.

Explore this featureHow the workflow works
See how the workflow moves from kickoff to approvals and commercial follow-through
This is the operational path a studio actually follows. Set up the live project record, organize rooms, add real selections, package decisions for client review, and move approved work into proposals, purchase orders, invoicing, accounting, and next-step tasks without losing context.
01
Launch the project workspace
Create the live project record with client details, spaces, scope, and internal milestones before the team starts selecting products.
02
Build the project by room
Map rooms or zones, assign working selections, and keep every space ready for focused review instead of one long project list.
03
Add selections with real product detail
Attach furniture, finishes, pricing notes, vendor context, and approval status to each item so the design record is usable later.
04
Package decisions for client review
Turn room-level selections into a cleaner client presentation with notes, grouped options, and a visible list of decisions that need approval.
05
Approve and push into delivery
Track what the client approved, what still needs revision, and what can move straight into proposals, purchase orders, invoicing, and follow-up tasks.
Client experience
Present the work in a way that feels clear, polished, and easier to approve
Clients should not have to hunt through attachments to understand what changed, what is approved, or what needs a decision. Diako Studio gives them one review space for selections, proposals, and next steps so the studio looks more organized and the approval process feels calmer.
- Share selections and proposals in a cleaner review experience instead of stitched-together PDFs and email attachments.
- Keep product details, pricing context, and decision status visible so clients know what they are approving.
- Reduce revision confusion by tying feedback to the exact item or proposal under review.
- Create a more professional handoff that builds client confidence in the studio process.
Internal communication
Keep studio messaging inside the same workspace as the project
Diako Messenger gives interior design teams a built-in way to coordinate without switching to outside chat apps. Conversations stay company-private, direct messages and invite-only groups stay scoped to the studio, and unread activity stays visible from inside the platform.
- Start direct messages for quick questions, approvals follow-up, and day-to-day coordination between coworkers.
- Create private group conversations that are fully hidden from non-members, so only invited teammates can see the group and its messages.
- Reply to specific messages and share PDFs, screenshots, images, and documents without leaving the workflow.
- Use realtime delivery, unread badges, and in-app notifications to stay aware of activity without constant refreshing.
- Enable or disable Messenger per studio from Settings when the company wants tighter control over internal communication.
Showroom displays
Turn approved visuals into live showroom, reception, and studio screens
Diako Studio includes a showroom display workflow for studios that want curated visuals running on TVs, reception monitors, or display screens without relying on a separate digital signage tool. Teams can publish slideshows, protect access with a PIN, and push confirmed content live to connected screens automatically.
- Create one or more named displays, each with its own public link, playback settings, and optional PIN protection.
- Upload image and audio media, arrange slideshow and music playlists independently, and control per-slide timing.
- Require a 6-digit admin email confirmation before new media goes live so live screens are never changed accidentally.
- Keep TVs and public screens on the last confirmed snapshot until changes are approved, then refresh content automatically.
Studio operations
Turn design decisions into operational follow-through without rebuilding the project
Once selections are approved, the business side should not start over. Diako Studio keeps proposals, purchase orders, invoicing, accounting, and reporting tied to the same project data so the studio can move faster and keep financial follow-through clearer.
- Generate proposals, purchase orders, invoices, and accounting records from connected source data instead of rebuilding them line by line.
- Bill from approved proposal items, apply taxes and adjustments, and keep payment follow-through visible in the same workflow.
- Support both personal accounting workflows for solo operators and shared company workflows for studio teams.
- Reduce handoff errors between design, procurement, billing, and finance by keeping one source of truth.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about interior design software for studios
Short answers for teams comparing project management, client portal workflow, selections, proposals, purchase orders, invoicing, accounting, and the business side of the studio.
What is interior design project management software?
It is software built around how interior design studios actually run projects: rooms, selections, client decisions, sourcing, proposals, purchase orders, invoicing, and team follow-up. The goal is to keep creative and operational work in one system instead of stitching together generic tools.
Can I manage proposals, purchase orders, and invoicing in one place?
Yes. Diako Studio is designed so approved project information can move into proposals, purchase orders, and invoicing without forcing the team to rebuild the same line items in separate tools.
Does the platform include a client portal?
Yes. The platform includes a client-facing review experience where studios can share selections, proposals, approvals, and next steps in a format that feels more polished than email attachments and disconnected PDFs.
Can I organize product selections, specifications, and FF&E schedules?
Yes. Diako Studio helps studios organize selections, product details, specifications, FF&E-style schedules, and sourcing information so design decisions stay usable from early review through procurement.
Is Diako Studio built for solo designers or interior design studios?
It is built for professional interior design businesses, from independent designers to growing studios and established firms that need stronger structure around both client work and operations.
Can I manage mood boards and studio operations in the same system?
Yes. Mood boards can live in the same system as selections, sourcing, proposals, purchase orders, invoicing, accounting, and reporting, so the project does not have to be recreated later.
What accounting workflows does Diako Studio support?
Diako Studio currently supports personal accounting workflows for solo designers and owner-operators, plus company accounting workflows for shared studio teams. QuickBooks integration is part of the roadmap, but it is not available in the current product yet.
Does Diako Studio include accounting or only invoicing?
It includes more than invoicing. Studios can manage chart-of-account mappings, tax settings, journal-based financial logic, payment handling, and general-ledger-style visibility inside the same workflow that produces proposals and invoices.
Is QuickBooks integration available now?
No. QuickBooks integration is planned for a later phase. Right now the platform focuses on native personal and company accounting workflows inside Diako Studio itself.
