For the individual making their first tentative steps into the “adult” world, suddenly confronted with steep bills to pay and tough decisions to be made, life can seem a little daunting. In my personal experience, when I first left behind my life of further education and insufferable part-time careers in retail, I found very few helping hands guiding me along my way as I struggled with real responsibilities for the first time, and any help I could get was practically met with me falling to my knees and tearfully thanking them for helping me find out just what on Earth I was supposed to be doing with my life.
On your list of priorities during this time period interior design will likely rank somewhere around the bottom, and though you’d be right to not throw something so superfluous at the top of your to-do pile, there’s a strong argument for making sure that your first “proper” home should not just be presentable, but that it should look pretty damn good.
Again, speaking from personal experience, I can safely say that some of the mental strain I face as a result of family, friend or work-related stress can be alleviated by returning home to a place that looks the way I’d want it to. Though this might not be applicable to you and you may well be more easy-going than I, there was a short period of time in which my TV cabinet didn’t match my coffee table, and this incongruity served to irritate me the more I looked at it, particularly when I couldn’t find the correct style of wood to go with either of them. This is, of course, a pretty sickening example of a first-world problem, but for people like myself someone coming into my home and just sorting my shit out would have been firmly appreciated.
This is where Zoom Interiors come in. Most recognizable from their appearance on ABC’s Shark Tank earlier this year, the trio of women behind the company allow their users to pick from a selection of designs via their website, with this serving as the basis for their makeover. It’s a wonderfully simple concept that features an array of different options, and with a mobile and tablet app set to be released by them in the near-future, it’s going to become even easier for those looking to add a professional touch to their home to do so.
Zoom Interiors specializes in providing interior designs for millennials, which is emphasized by their affordable rates. For just $99 you can have Zoom’s Beatrice Fischel-Bock, Elizabeth Grover and Madeline Fraser design a room of your home within your selected budget, with there being optional add-ons including style rendering and a product shopping list. Zoom accommodating for first-time buyers and those renting property outside of college for the first time means that they’re capable of doing a lot with a relatively small budget, and their creative eye roves between minimalist to vibrant and colorful.
With every aspect of Zoom Interiors available to view online, it is therefore no surprise that the company’s three founders are so in tune with the Internet. Looking up Zoom Interiors on Google reveals an Instagram page stuffed with the kind of aspirational images that court countless likes, and while this would usually be concern for a few eye-rolls when orchestrated by the typical “brand desperately trying to appeal to the youth,” what with all three founders being in their mid-twenties it seems far more sincere when they do it.
And this could stand to be Zoom Interiors’ tactical advantage above its competitors; they’re an interior design company for individuals who wouldn’t necessarily even consider interior design to be an option. They’ll allow you to bring that idealistic living room/bedroom/office into your home without you having to do barely any of the work, instead giving you the fun task of flicking through their site/upcoming app and choosing which aesthetic best suits you, before winding up with a room that could sit neatly alongside their other images on their Instagram page.
They’re a company specifically designed to target an incredibly image-conscious generation, and that should surely lead to nothing other than overwhelming success. Check them out on their official website right here.
