What is the cost of hiring an interior designer in 2022?

4. A General Breakdown of the Cost of Interior Designer

Designers often do not change a lump sum amount for each project. A quote or the contract will have details of all aspects of the cost. While this would cover many of the charges, there might be situations with unexpected overheads or surcharges.

• The designer’s fee: Some may charge it as a percentage and others as a lump sum. Consider this as the service charge for the entire project.The average range is 5% to 15% of the total cost.
  
• Interior stylists and decorators charge anywhere from ₹50 to ₹500 per sq. ft. If furnishing, flooring, false ceiling, etc., are included, the rates may be as high as ₹2000 to ₹4000 per sq. ft.
  
• Some designers may charge a markup on all the products used in the project.
• Charges for site visitation and supervision are generally labelled as such. The cost would vary depending on the designer, and the rates are calculated on a per-visit basis.
• Professionals have specific charges for design alone. Most provide 3 to 4 versions during the initial consultations. After the first few iterations,you might be levied a charge for every change you ask for. 3D renderings of designs also are generally charged separately from the floor plans.

5. Your Budget

Having said all of this, it ultimately boils down to your budget. Once you have a set budget, you can look for a designer that can meet your requirements. They will also guide you and give you a rundown of what services can be included within your budget. Although, remember to always have some room for unexpected charges such as repairs, design iterations, shipping, etc.

• Ask them about the services that they can offer you within your budget. Once they give you a proposal and an estimate, you’ll have a better idea of your options.
  
  
• Be sure to ask for their portfolio if available. This will allow you to gauge their style, creativity and versatility. Talk to them about their style and specialisation and see if it fits your vision.
  
  
• Talk about their approach to problem-solving. There are bound to be some bumps on the way to your perfect house. The way the professionals handle it can make a world of difference.
