Best Bags (and more) For Interior Designers

Let’s talk BAGS…and some other fun organizational tools! I know for those of you that do in-person consultations and project installs, it’s important to have a bag that really works well for you.

Having everything you need when you need it, may be one of the most important things when you’re an interior designer.

Here are some common items you may want to have on you during a consult or installation day.

-Tape measure

-pencil, pen, sharpie, furniture staining pens

-paint deck (Benjamin moore, sherwin, Behr, whatever paint you love to use!)

-Design samples (flooring, tile, etc)

-“emergency” supplies like cleaning supplies, bleach pens, etc.

-Ipad/tablet/laptop

-painters tape

-Business cards

-Tools (Hammer, drill, nails, hanging utensils, safety pins, etc)

-Steamer

-Furniture moving pads

-notebook

Can you say prepared? You’ll have everything you need! 

Here are 8 of my favorite bags (and more) that I think may work well for you as an interior designer…

The Bellroy- I love this bag! Not only does it look nice but it’s so functional. You probably won’t be able to fit most of your tools unless they are miniature, but this is still a great bag.

Tumi Bag- This one is a splurge, so keep that in mind. But, it has every pocket you could ever need. Perfect for tools

Toyo Steel Toolbox- This one is pretty self-explanatory. Just a cute little toolbox for all the things! 

Better together pouch- This pouch will not hold your tools, but it can get you organized enough for a client meeting! This bag is perfectly designed for something like that. 

The Canvas Tote-A simple canvas tote with great little storage pockets.

Weekender Bag- A great weekender bag that comes in so many colors and patterns! (The way to my heart)

The Kaya- If you’re more into backpacks

The Rachhel- If you want something that looks a little nicer
