Studio Blanc Interiors • Interior Design
Project Overview
Studio Blanc Interiors, a residential interior designer with a handful of local clients, used Instagram to showcase a signature warm minimalist aesthetic.

Talented designer invisible in a market dominated by established firms:
- Average project value stuck at $15K — barely covering overhead
- Competing against firms with decades of media relationships
- Portfolio limited to phone photos of completed projects
- Houzz and other platforms generating low-quality leads
- No media coverage despite award-worthy work
Our Solution
We built a visual brand that editors and high-end clients couldn't ignore:
Project Reveal Reels
Cinematic before/after room reveals with dramatic music and transitions
Design Philosophy Content
Thought leadership carousels on warm minimalism principles
Source & Style Guides
Shoppable product recommendations creating value for followers
Editor Relationship Building
Strategic tagging and direct outreach to magazine editors following design accounts
The Results
Instagram established Studio Blanc as a nationally recognized design studio:
“Five years of submitting to magazines with no response. Then Viraluxx helped me build an Instagram presence and Architectural Digest reached out to ME. My project value went from $15K to $150K. Instagram is the new portfolio.”
