When embarking on a home renovation or design project, grasping the intricacies of interior design fees is crucial for effective budgeting and managing expectations. At Naarkaali Design Studio, we emphasize clear communication and personalized solutions for our clients. This informative guide will explore typical pricing models used by interior designers, outline the services usually included, and clarify what you can expect when partnering with a professional design studio.

Fixed Price Model: At Naarkaali Design Studio, we also offer a customized fixed price model for certain smaller scale projects. This method is used when there is a clear scope of works agreed upon at the beginning and where the scope is clear and simple. It provides clarity and reassurance to our clients; they can rest easy knowing that regardless of the time invested in their project, they will receive the predetermined services at the quoted price.

• Our pricing is determined by an estimate of the hours required for your specific project.

• Each client receives a tailored quote that addresses their unique needs and scope of work. We define specific parameters to help prevent any potential scope creep.

• While payment terms may vary, at Naarkaali Design Studio we typically request upfront payment for each phase outlined in the design proposal.

Hourly Rate: Some designers charge based on an hourly rate that typically varies from under $100 to over $500 depending on expertise. At Naarkaali Design Studio, our hourly fee is firmly set at $125 for smaller design-related services where the scope is likely to vary.

Per Square Metre: Some designers calculate fees based on square meterage ranging from $100 to over $500 per square meter. Although this method simplifies fee calculations, it may fail to account for important nuances due to varying degrees of involvement required across different spaces. Generally this is the pricing model we adopt, at $115 per square meter for a full home design.

Percentage of Project Cost: This model involves charging a percentage—usually between 10% to 30%—of the overall project budget. It offers designers financial assurance as they are compensated even if there are adjustments within the project's scope. We don’t use this model very much in our pricing.
