Interior designers wear a lot of hats- and not all of them are creative. When it comes to managing the business side of design, most tools fall short. Disconnected documents, scattered communication, manual tracking, and outdated PDFs often lead to mistakes, miscommunication, and lost revenue.

The result? Projects feel harder than they need to be, deadlines slip, and clients feel the strain.

Built by a Working Designer, for Designers

Four Stripes was built to change that.

Created by an interior designer who understands the demands of real projects, Four Stripes brings clarity, structure, and confidence to every phase of your design business.

Why Most Project Management Tools Fail Interior Designers

While generic tools can track tasks or store files, they rarely fit the way interior designers actually work.

Projects involve specs, approvals, vendors, visual presentation, and ongoing client input- all of which require structure beyond a static to-do list.

That’s why Four Stripes takes a different approach.

What Makes the Design Roadmap Different

At the heart of the platform is the Design Roadmap- your project’s path to success. This isn’t just a timeline. It’s a proven framework developed by working interior designers to keep every phase of the project aligned and on track.

The Roadmap connects your design process with client expectations, builder schedules, and contractor timelines, so nothing falls through the cracks. With a clear view of what’s completed, in progress, and upcoming, you can anticipate needs, manage decisions, and keep momentum. Tasks are organized by status in a single, centralized hub- giving you instant visibility into where every project stands.

But the Design Roadmap is just the beginning. Four Stripes connects every part of your workflow, making it easier to move from concept to completion without chaos in between.
