Short Bio

Jon Call is an interior designer with 25 years of hands-on trade experience. Today, he runs Mr Call Designs as an online-only interior design studio — helping people skip the showroom guesswork through free Furniture Reviews and Design Sessions.

Interview Angles

The Retail Furniture Trap: Why a high price tag doesn't guarantee quality construction, and how online brands hide basic specs behind clever marketing.

Design for Modern Life: Why physical showrooms are disappearing and how virtual interior design is making professional advice accessible to everyone.

Buying Fewer, Better Things: How honest furniture reviews help people make smart investments and keep fast furniture out of landfills.

The Problem

Buying furniture online should be easy, but it usually feels overwhelming. Showrooms are closing, and most websites leave you guessing about frame quality, cushion fills, or how a piece will actually hold up over time.

A sofa is one of the biggest investments you'll make for your home, yet almost nobody gives you unbiased, expert guidance before you hit "add to cart." People end up shopping completely alone, hoping they didn't just make an expensive mistake.

How We Help

That's why Mr Call Designs operates strictly as a virtual interior design studio. We bring 25 years of trade experience right to your screen — offering clear, unbiased retail reviews and relaxed Design Sessions on video.

Whether you need help with a floor plan, choosing the right fabrics, or just want expert eyes on a piece of furniture before you buy, we're here to help you design a space you love with total confidence.
