Interior projects: moods, materials and quotes approved
“Didn’t we say green?”: the choices that get lost along the way
An interior project is decided through dozens of choices: the mood, the flooring, the paint, the taps, the kitchen. You email three boards, the client replies on WhatsApp with a magazine photo, then changes their mind on the phone a week later.
Two months on, the joiner fits a kitchen the client no longer recognises, and nobody can find the message where it was chosen.
What Kolinea changes for you
Client choices
Moods and materials, chosen and on record
Mood boards, flooring, kitchen: your client chooses from your illustrated options, and the answer no longer gets lost between WhatsApp and your emails.
- Two to six options, with photos
- Dated answer, in the client’s name
- A due date and reminders to decide
No more decisions found three weeks too late
Sign-off
The quote approved, dated, in each person’s name
Submit your quote or a change during the project. Each client accepts or declines it from their phone.
- A couple, each one answers
- Dated approval in each person’s name
- Nothing can be changed afterwards
A simple, dated approval, not a qualified e-signature
Appointments
Presentations and visits, scheduled in the folder
Offer several slots to present your boards or visit the site. Your client chooses; the calendar invitation goes out with the address.
- Several slots, a single choice
- On site, at the studio or by video
- Calendar invitation on confirmation
A confirmed appointment comes with its calendar invitation
What Kolinea solves for interior designers
-
Before: A decision made by email or text stays where it landed, and nobody can find it when it is time to act
Each choice put as a question with options, answered from a link, dated and filed in the folder.

Folder templates
Every interior project, ready in advance
The “Flat” template prepares the plans and photos of the existing space, the choice of mood, the quote approval, the choice of materials and the preparation of the works, with their due dates.
- Planned items, in order
- Due dates that fit each folder
- Your own templates, shared with the team (Premium)
You write your requests once for all your clients
From mood board to handover, every choice in one place
The client opens the folder through a link, with no account, from their phone. They find your boards there, upload their inspiration photos and write to you when they hesitate. The tradespeople you coordinate join too, with limited access: they only read what you show them.
-
Mood boards
You post your boards and ask a question with options; the client chooses in the folder, and their answer is dated (choice decisions).
-
Materials and furniture
Flooring, tiles, kitchen offered as options with photos, each with its due date; reminders go out without you having to chase.
-
Quote
You attach the quote, and the client accepts or declines it in a sign-off, with the date and their name. Kolinea does not price or invoice: it keeps the record of the approval (sign-off).
-
Appointments
Presenting the boards, a visit to the joiner’s workshop, a site meeting. You offer slots, the client picks one and adds it to their calendar (appointments).
A sign-off is a simple approval, not a qualified electronic signature.
For a flat, the catalogue’s “Flat” template already chains the plans and photos of the existing space, the choice of mood, the approval of the quote, the choice of materials and the preparation of the works. You apply it to the next project instead of copying the previous one.
A project where every choice stays dated
Each request has a recipient and a due date. Reminders go out two days before the due date, on the day, the day after, then seven days later, and stop as soon as the client answers. You add milestones to the folder: start of works, kitchen fitting, handover.
At handover, you close the folder. Your client and you will find the chosen mood, the accepted quote and the date of every choice there, for as long as your workspace exists.

100 seats left out of 100 Reserve it from your workspace once signed up
Your ongoing folders carry on, and your clients keep access to closed folders for life, as long as your workspace exists. If you delete the workspace, everyone is notified by email 30 days beforehand and can download the export of their folders.
Not if your exchanges are one-off, with no follow-up: an email is enough. Nor if you need to invoice your clients, or a qualified electronic signature: Kolinea does not invoice, and its sign-off is a simple approval, dated and in the name of the person who gave it, with no value as a qualified signature. It keeps a record of what was accepted and when; if your document requires a qualified signature, you need another tool.
They have nothing to install or remember: they open their link and first see what you expect from them, on a phone or a computer.
Learn moreFrom their contact card, you generate a single-use link, to be opened within 24 hours, and a 6-digit code that you pass on yourself: the link by text or messaging app, the code by phone or in person. Their device is then recognised for your folders.

They are available on the Free plan; writing your own templates and adding custom fields (floor space, budget, property type…) is reserved for Premium.
Learn moreInvite your colleagues to your workspace: 2 members on the Free plan, as many as you like on Premium. Each one accesses the folders they work on; owners and admins see every folder, and the overdue items of the whole team.
Learn moreYes, free of charge. You open the folder, add your documents and create a free account with no password, then send them the link. They open the folder from that link, then claim it so they can reply; if nobody claims it, the folder is deleted after 30 days.
