The client had no furniture when he moved in except a deck chair! The whole apartment needed to be painted, decorated and filled with furniture and accessories. His brief was for a stylish and comfortable design as his previous abode had been a real bachelor pad! And all on a very small budget.
One of the biggest problems with posting my projects on my website is the fact that the projects are ongoing. My clients are all residential and the projects don't have a start and end date mainly due to budget restrictions or the time it takes to source a particular item(s). I'm happy to roll with it - dip in and out of the project as and when the client needs me but it makes it difficult to share the finished article with you. So I've decided that I'll share my projects with you as a work in progress.
The trend for grey interiors continues, at least in south west London where I and most of my clients live. Most paint their interiors in various shades of grey and then wonder what they can do to brighten them up. After all, it's grey outside most of the year in London so why would you want to bring that indoors?!
Here I gave a contemporary look to a client's extended Edwardian home. Given the passion the owner has for their outside space, it was crucial that the colours used in the kitchen/diner complemented the soft colours of the garden.
This client wanted me to transform their sitting room from a bland space into a sophisticated room for adults to relax in. This post includes ideas and inspiration for revamping your own sitting room.
This is a bit of a chicken or egg scenario and can be done either before or after the next section on picking foundation furniture. Which ever order, you MUST take measurements and make a simple drawing of your space and layout your proposed furniture and any other room elements before purchasing.
I have a post reviewing free floor planner apps including video demos. AutoCAD and SketchUP are my go-to software for 2D and 3D respectively, but roomstyler.com was the first simple, user-friendly free option I found. To get started:
These mental images are what pushed me to go with my Bomar sofa from Joss and Main versus the pricey one that was on sale for 4.5 times the price at a local boutique in town. (Those down cushions were dreamy though!)
I also believe that an upholstery/carpet spot cleaning vacuum with a wet-vac brush can be an excellent investment and sanity saver. I might not have survived toddler twins without mine.
4) Another stain defense strategy I deployed back in the day on my old Pottery Barn wannabe sofa was to put a large piece of fabric across the main seating area for a casual, boho vibe.

I have tried every pricing model under the sun. Once I switched to a flat fee, I never looked back. I looked at all of the metrics; tracked and analyzed my historical data until I came up with a fee that is fair, that I am 100% confident in and that will be profitable.
Check out my free resource, the Standard Demo Module, for a sneak peek inside the Interior Design Standard. The Standard is a comprehensive template for exactly how to run an interior design business. It took me many years in business, with a few tough lessons along the way, to build a business that I love.
I HIGHLY recommend finding pictures that have the most MINIMAL background possible, before you take your screenshot (like this plain grey background in the above photo). This will make the next step MUCH MUCH easier.
Also, I love how your design is coming along! So excited you mocked up my idea of cane & wallpaper a la Pink Cabana! I think it looks great, so I stand by my suggestion hahaha. The current iteration is very monochromatic, which I love, but I'm a bit surprised it doesn't have more color since your inspo photos are very very colorful.
Honestly Erin I just eyeball it (which sometimes goes horribly wrong) but you could definitely take a photo of your room (with furniture in it) and put it into google slides for scale! That way when you add furniture pieces you can reference what the size would be relative to other pieces in your room
this is great! Can you add how you do the scale of things? How do you make the wall space and then the bed or other pieces of furniture be realistically the right scale? Is there a way to say how long and high the wall is? or windows and doors?
Such a useful tool and free to boot especially for us amateurs. I want to confess that I am a developer but I have had much trouble understanding how photoshop works. I find it taxing to my brain cells. This really helps for noobs everywhere. ?
I am going to try my Google slides skills right away.
In most cases, they will suggest furniture, lighting and decor based on your budget and will help you prioritize your needs for the space. They can purchase furniture items on your behalf, organize orders, deliveries and installation and, in the case of larger renovation projects, coordinate with contractors and fabricators.
Interior designers often wear many hats within a project and every individual designer and design firm is different. Understanding the services they do, and do not, offer is paramount to anticipate costs.
In most cases, the hourly rate for a designer covers their design and coordination services only. Furniture and material purchases are typically billed separately on an invoice along with any markup included for coordinating. Other fees such as coordination fees or special rates for travel time, etc. will be billed this way as well.
Online interior design services will usually charge a flat rate based on the type of room. Typically, they will do all of their consulting remotely and you will handle the purchasing and coordination yourself. Expect to pay between $500 and $1,500 per room depending on the size. This is a great way to save money while still getting the design help you need.
When a designer charges a commission on purchases as part of their fee, it is typically separate to, and on top of, the hourly design rate. Most designers receive a trade discount on furniture, so they will pay less for it upfront and then charge you the retail cost, keeping that percentage to cover the time it takes to coordinate the purchase.
In some cases, firms may choose to charge a higher commission, marking items up 10% to 30% above retail. On an invoice, this would look like a line item for hourly design fees, one for the furniture itself and one for the purchasing fee. Every firm does it slightly differently, so it is important to clarify their methods and make sure everything is clearly outlined in your contract.
This method for fees is most common for larger residential projects and renovations, usually anything that will require a lot of coordination. There are two ways a designer may charge this way, as a percentage of the total construction cost or using the cost-plus method, which we will get into below.
The price of your design solutions is affected by many factors, from the square footage of the space to its function and usage. Each space provides its own challenges, meaning that design solutions for larger homes will take more time and cost more than interior design for an apartment. The same goes for the type of room you are designing. For instance, a large living room will take an interior designer longer to design the layout and source the furniture. In contrast, a bathroom design will typically only require some home dcor touches. Therefore, the cost will differ.
When customers are looking for a professional interior designer, their reputations and experience shape their expectations of the time and cost it will take to complete their projects. Professionals need to communicate this information clearly to ensure that clients understand the scope of work and why they should choose them over another designer.
Interior decorators are the people you call when you want to make your home look beautiful. They arrange furniture, color schemes, fabrics and decorative elements to create visually pleasing environments. They work with existing architectural features and layouts to create a space that reflects your personal style.
Interior designers have a broader scope of work than interior decorators. They consider not only the aesthetics of a room but also the functional and structural elements of the space. This includes space planning, layout design specifying materials, coordinating with architects and contractors and, on occasion, ensuring compliance with building codes and regulations.
