How does Decors By Daniel charge for interior design services?
Most professional interior designers charge a non-refundable “Up-front” design fee of between $1,000 and $3,000 depending on the project. Following that fee, designers then either charge a percentage of the project or an hourly fee. So how does Decors by Daniel charge? I try to make working with me easy so for most projects I waive the “Up-front” fee and charge just a flat hourly fee. For project further than 15 miles from my location, I charge my standard hourly fee for travel time. I believe that people should see what they are paying for so each month I send an itemized statement that shows exactly how I spent my time on your design project. So, a typical statement will show such charges as two hours for a meeting, 4 hours in plan preparation, one hour meeting with a contractor, etc. Because I act as a retailer for furniture, window blinds and custom draperies, I often reduce my hourly fee for time spent on assisting with furniture, blinds and draperies purchased through Decors by D
