How to Price Interior Design Projects Without Second-Guessing Yourself



Pricing doesn’t have to be the hardest part of your project.


If you’ve ever sat down to build out a custom proposal and found yourself spiraling with “Is this too much? Too little? Will they go for it?”, you’re not alone. As interior designers, we’re trained in aesthetics and spatial planning—but not always in how to confidently charge for our time and expertise.


So what’s the fix?

Clarity. Structure. Systems that work with you, not against you.

Here’s my favorite starting point: break your pricing down by time. Think: design hours, admin work, sourcing, revisions, and all the little things in between.


This is exactly why I created the Design Fee Calculator Template for Interior Designers—a clean, editable spreadsheet built to help you:

  • Estimate your time across categories

  • Plug in your hourly rate

  • Automatically calculate your total fee (with space for tax, discounts, and flat rates)


This isn’t just about numbers—it’s about finally having a pricing system that reflects your value, saves you time, and gives you peace of mind every time you quote a project. Interior designers who use this tool feel more confident, professional, and organized when preparing proposals.




Whether you’re just starting out or refining your studio’s quoting process, this tool takes the guesswork out of it—so you can feel confident and clear.


Want more support setting up your systems? I also offer VIP Days for interior designers, where we can build out your client process, create templates, set up software, and make sure your backend supports your brilliance. You’ll also find helpful digital tools in my IDVA Shop—from onboarding flows to design intake forms and client-ready templates.
