Overview of Interior Design Fees
- Interior designers typically charge for their services in one of three ways: hourly rates, flat fees, or a percentage of the total project cost.
Cons of Flat Fee Charging
- If you don’t estimate well, you may end up having to work for “free.”
- If you are not good at establishing a scope of work, you may end up working for “free.”
Hourly Rates and Percentage-Based Fees
- The rate varies depending on the designer’s experience, location, and the type of project.
- For example, you would add 30-45% to the project cost to cover your interior design fees.
