Our take
Founded in 2014, Havenly has grown to be a major startup in the online interior design space. Its platform connects customers with professional interior designers and product purchase recommendations. And, along with the sector at large, it has seen a healthy upswing in recent years.
Though rivals like Modsy and Roomstyler make for tough competition, Havenly's professional consultations put them ahead of simple visualization services, and are attractive to customers looking for an affordable version of a previously hard-to-access personal service.
Havenly's two-pronged approach to the interior design business could see it win big over the coming years. It has lately focussed on acquiring brands such as The Inside, Interior Define and The Citizenry, as well as venturing into IRL services with the launch of “Havenly At Home”.
