pricing an Interior design project

You are business leader in your field. You’re ready for your home to reflect your success. You may manage budgets and P&L statements every day, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you know how to plan for your own home transformation.

In our process, we talk with clients early on about their budget for the project. This is exactly how we know that it’s not an easy number to come by for a few reasons. Most people have never purchased all of their furnishings and decor at one time. They have collected pieces over time, sometimes decades. The cost and decision making involved occurred one by one. It may have been several years since a larger investment piece was purchased, like a couch, which makes people feel out of touch with the market value. Or maybe there’s a desire to get some nicer pieces than what you are accustomed to buying. Ever installed wallpaper before?

A professional designer can guide you as you work together to establish a proper investment range that feels right for you and your family. It’s absolutely one important way we bring value to a client. As loyal stewards of your well-earned funds, we know how to maximize your investment to make the biggest statement. We don’t need to select luxury everything to make your home an absolute stunner.

Here’s the truth. A design project is only successful if it is run like a true project, the creative is gorgeous, it functions like a dream, and you believe the investment was well worth it and then some. We don’t want to overlook the costs in the name of art because we are here to serve. We have to partner on the numbers and get that right.

We have put together a guide that will help you estimate the cost of furnishings and decor for the changes you are envisioning. Of course there are costs related to a design project that we haven’t covered here (like trades people, design work, installation, etc), but it’s a great place to start planning.
