Interior design is about far more than choosing colours and furniture. You are paying for strategic planning, layout decisions, a cohesive design concept, sourcing, and the experience needed to avoid expensive mistakes.
For whole house projects, early design decisions often save time and reduce costly rework later. If you are considering a full property transformation, explore Full Home Interior Design.
Fixed fee
A fixed fee provides a clear price for a defined scope of work. This structure is often used for full home design plans or specific deliverables and is ideal if you want cost certainty from the outset.
Hourly rate
Hourly rates are suited to advice sessions, smaller scopes, or flexible support where the brief is still evolving. This approach works well for early planning, layout troubleshooting, or design guidance.
Package pricing
Package pricing bundles services together, such as a room refresh, styling plan, or design direction for a single space. If you want a focused uplift without committing to a full redesign, explore Room Refresh and Styling.
To understand how services are typically structured, view the Services overview.
Start with your ideal outcome and then allocate your budget across priorities such as layout and storage, lighting, flooring, and key furniture pieces. Always plan a contingency for the unexpected, particularly in renovation projects and older properties.
A strong approach is to begin with a clear design plan and then purchase in the correct order. If you need help creating a cohesive plan before spending, a full home design service can significantly reduce false starts.
For many clients, the biggest value lies in clarity, confidence, and a better result. An interior designer helps you avoid purchasing items that do not fit, do not work together, or cannot be delivered within the required timeframe.
Do I need a designer for one room?
Not always. If you want a targeted uplift for a living room, bedroom, or hallway, a refresh and styling service can be a cost effective option. Start here: Room Refresh and Styling.
Can I work with a designer nationwide?
Yes. Many clients choose a hybrid approach, combining in person visits with remote planning depending on location. To discuss what suits your project, use the Contact page.
