VADE
A sourcing library for interior designers

Vade mecum, the handbook you carry.

Every fabric and finish...
Organised and shareable.

Build the sourcing library every studio wishes it kept. Save anything you spec, once, and find it later by colour, by project, or by the half-remembered word that was on the tip of your tongue. Your taste, finally searchable.

Used by independent interior designers and established studios for product sourcing and vendor research across the UK and US.

Right-click.
Save. Done.

The Chrome extension adds every vendor and product page to your library in one click. VADE fetches the title, description, hero image, product specifications, and price tier automatically.

Save a vendor homepage and it becomes a vendor card with trade status, contact details, social links, and every product you've saved from that brand in one place.

01/Save

Categorised before you've moved on.

Every save is classified into one of eight buckets: lighting, furniture, materials, soft goods, kitchen & bath, hardware, art & objets, outdoor & garden, using AI that reads the page content and product image together.

When the AI isn't confident, saves land in the review queue. A few clicks and they're filed correctly. Your library stays clean without you maintaining it.

Search by colour.
Sort by instinct.

VADE extracts the dominant palette from every product image. Search your library by hex code and saves are sorted by colour distance, closest match first.

Paint saves render as flat colour tiles with the brand, range, and finish overlaid. Designers browse paints by colour, not by thumbnail, so the tile is the product.

Every brand, one card.

04/Vendors

Vendors are built automatically from the domains you save. Each vendor card pulls the homepage hero, logo, social links, and contact details. Every product you've saved from that brand is grouped underneath.

Over time your vendor library becomes a personal directory of every supplier you've sourced from, with real context, not just a name in a spreadsheet.

Collections, published as moodboards.

Group saves into collections: by project, by room, by mood. Publish any collection as a read-only moodboard with your studio branding and a private link, choose between three editorial layouts, and hide the fields you don't want clients to see. Refine internally, pitch externally, from the same library.

06/Assistant

Ask your library a question.

The built-in assistant searches the web, fetches product pages, and cross-references your existing saves. Ask it to find a pendant light under £200 that ships to the UK, or to compare two fabric suppliers. It works with your library, not against it.

Built for how designers actually work.

Free forever for saving, organising, and browsing. Paid tiers unlock AI-generated moodboards, landscape hero images that read as editorial spreads, composed from the tiles you picked.

What the trade is saving.

The VADE marketplace will surface the products, vendors, and colour palettes that real interior designers are saving and specifying, not sponsored picks, not algorithmic recommendations. A public window onto what the trade is using, by category, by colour, by trend.
