Diving into the world of Interior Design can be overwhelming - especially when you’re trying to get the most bang for your buck!
The expert team at My Bespoke Room have broken down the most common pricing models to help you understand exactly what you're spending when hiring a designer.
How do different designers charge
Depending on the designer you hire, they will all have different pricing models. Our designers have broken down the most common ways you can be charged.
Hourly rates
Many designers go by the clock, charging you per hour of their time.
This hourly rate can vary depending on their experience, travel distance, and what others in the area charge. Think anywhere from £25 to £150 per hour.
While paying by the hour lets you tweak and tune your design with the designer for as long as you like, watch out, because the bill can sneak up on you fast.
Flat-fee packages
Some designers prefer a flat-fee approach, giving you a fixed rate for the whole project.
They'll estimate how much time and effort it'll take, then bundle it up into one sum.
Depending on your needs, they might offer different packages. For instance, if you fancy something deluxe, a high-end package with project management, installation, and styling could be for you. Or if you have a specific problem, maybe just a simple consultation that focuses on colours and layout could be ideal.
Some designers mix it up, offering a combo of flat-fee and hourly rates for any extra bits you might need later.
Here at My Bespoke Room, we're big fans of clear, upfront packages. No hidden fees here! Our online design service caters to all budgets, starting at just £395 per room.
Percentage of project cost
Another very common package we often see is where a designer will charge a percentage based on the overall project cost.
This percentage can also heavily vary anywhere between 5-30%, this means the higher your budget, the more your designer earns.
For some clients, this model feels just right - it's like paying for exactly what you're getting. However, other clients are discouraged as this fee structure could lead the designer to persuade them to spend more.
How online design is suitable for all budgets
Online design is shaking up the industry, making transforming your home available to the masses.
We’ve broken down what it is and how it can make transforming your home more affordable.
What is an online designer?
Virtual design is taking the interior world by storm, making transforming your home easier than ever.
Online designers have all the exact same qualifications and expertise as traditional designers, but they simply create your dream home virtually instead.
This means you can transform your home from the comfort of your own space whilst working the process conveniently into your schedule.
You’ll collaborate on all of the fun parts whilst they handle all the leg work!
