Does anyone know of an interior designer who charges by the hour versus by the job?

The costs associated with hiring an interior designer will vary quite dramatically from job to job. One homeowner may ask for help with their entire home, while another wants some professional assistance in the family room. The American Society of Interior Designers stresses that there is “no such thing as a ‘typical’…fee for an interior designer”. They do indicate that most professionals will charge in one of four ways: • Cost plus – this is a somewhat traditional method used in all types of assignments. In this approach, the designer purchases all of the materials for the job (including furnishings and accessories) and sells them to their client at an agreed upon markup or additional percentage. This percentage is the method by which the designer is paid for their work. A sample scenario would include: – Consultation with designer on a bedroom decorating project; – Agreement on terms of the arrangement, which is going to usually be in the area of 20% markup on goods purchased from a wholesale distributor; and – Budget is set at $6,000 and will include flat design fee, materials, vendors, and any contractors; • Fixed or flat fees – this is the most likely way that a large job will be priced because it provides the designer with a streamlined method of billing for the work. It puts a single price on the entire job and is intended to cover all expenses that include everything from design and layouts through the final installation process. A sample scenario would include: – Consultation with designer on a bedroom decorating project; – Agreement on terms of the arrangement, which is going to usually include a discussion on the costs per servicesuch as retainer amount, design fee, color selection, purchasing, etc; and – Budget is set at $6,000 and will include all services • Hourly rates – this is for a smaller project and pays the designer based on the actual amount of time that they contribute to a specific project. Current market prices vary between $50 and $200 per hour, depending on the designer; and • Square foot basis – this is usually the manner by which commercial work is done and it pays the designer a fixed amount per square foot of space. I usually go to myezbz.com when it comes to this. I just post my inquiry at the site and then wait for the replies from local contractors who offers reasonable bids.
