What should I expect when I hire an interior designer?
Hiring an interior designer is perfect for a home that needs a facelift. An interior designer will accentuate your home's features and flow.
The designer will visit your home for a consultation. This will help them learn about your preferences, budget, and timeline. You will discuss how the team can achieve your vision.
Your interior designer may work with a team of skilled tradespeople (architects, art designers, and light designers, for example). Let them know if you wish to hire a specific tradesperson for the job.
How much does it cost to hire an interior designer?
There are a variety of payment structures. The designer may suggest a common payment plan or create a custom option with the client. Options include a flat fee, cost plus, or hourly rate. The following are general indications of industry rates:
- Consultation fee: up to $500 for a roughly 2 - 4 hours preliminary consultation
- Hourly rate: $100 - $250+ per hour
There is no way to know how much your project will cost before the consultation. Interior design projects may cost $8,000; they could also cost $100,000!
Can I DIY an interior design project?
A homeowner can take on some aspects of an interior design project. However, the beauty of hiring a professional is their style, insight, and objectivity. It's hard to match an expert's interior design skill. Hire an expert if you are looking to sit back and watch your home receive a fresh facelift.
Additional tips
Interior design projects can be expensive. Here are some tips that can help you keep costs down:
- Ask for an apprentice or junior designer to lead the project
- Offer to contribute your efforts to the project
- Budget wisely by splurging on must-haves and settling for economic options elsewhere
- Ask a designer for an advice consultation and DIY the project
