Fees and Charging for Residential Interior Designers
If you’ve ever felt unsure about what to charge - or anxious about presenting your fees to a client - you’re not alone.
In this comprehensive class, interior design business coach and former design school director Julia Begbie guides you through the entire process of pricing your design services with confidence, clarity, and professionalism. Whether you’re just starting out, or refining an established practice, this course will help you understand the value you bring - and how to communicate it.
You’ll learn:
-
All the ways interior designers charge for their work
-
How to calculate your fees accurately and fairly
-
How to structure and present a compelling fee proposal
-
What to say (and what not to say) in a client meeting about money
-
10 powerful tips for managing this process smoothly - drawn from decades of experience
This course is designed to give you practical tools and the mindset shift needed to stop second-guessing your worth.
You’ll also get access to a Signature Fee Proposal storyboard project - a creative opportunity to design the layout and flow of your dream client proposal, from cover page to final call to action.
Templates (including an hourly rate calculator, fee calculator, and various client-facing documents), suggestions, and examples are included to help you get started.
What designers say:Â
I just wanted to let you know what a completely fantastic course this has been. I have been an interior designer for 25 years but have only recently struck out on my own with my own business. Because of my experience and exposure to HNWI, I am getting the opportunity to pitch for larger jobs than I was exposed to previously. This course was a real sense check and confidence booster as I did not learn anything new, but had confirmed for me that I do indeed know what I am doing and to trust myself and the value I bring- I am damned good at this. The templates were fantastically helpful and the tone of your whole presentation was ideal for me. I feel I have received excellent value for money and applaud your course and what it offers. Bravo.
