Your questions, answered
What is Love that Design?
Love That Design is a publication platform for interior design projects, but it is also so much more! An extension of the platform, Love That Design Community is a central design directory. We feature information/data about projects on our website, and interlink it with its stakeholders’ pages i.e., the products and companies who have worked on it. This makes it easier for you to get these details instantly without having to bounce from website to website, thereby seamlessly connecting end users with potential customers.
